The Threshold: Pediment
Purpose: Integration & Judgment
Difficulty: High - Tier 3
Responsibility: Situational & Outcome-Based
Description
The Threshold is a transition point. This is where learning becomes obligation.
Guidance recedes and responsibility increases as participants are expected to use Aretē as a decision-making framework in complex, real-world situations. The focus shifts from application with support to judgment without cover. Participants must navigate trade-offs, ambiguity, and pressure while maintaining coherence between values, communication, and action.
This tier is not about recognition or advancement. It is about readiness. Crossing The Threshold signals a willingness to operate with accountability, to stand behind decisions, and to allow standards—not preference—to guide behavior.
