01 / OUR STRUCTURE
Three levels. One shared responsibility.
These titles recognize the nature and significance of contributions, not geographic seniority or managerial authority. The program brings together documentary contributions, corroboration, and public understanding.
04
Supporting and corroborating evidence
Ambassador
Recognizes supporting evidence and corroborating material that help clarify and strengthen the examination of a matter.
19
Explanation and public awareness
Consul
Helps explain verified, published reporting and raise community awareness, with clear attribution and respect for the findings and their limits.
02 / PARTICIPATION
A meaningful role in a connected community.
Recognition of contribution
Contribution-based recognition following editorial review, with source identities kept private.
Responsible communication
A shared framework for explaining published findings accurately and preserving their context.
Informed participation
A clear distinction between major disclosures, supporting evidence, and public awareness.
A considered review process
An account-linked application and a separate editorial assessment of contributions.
Public understanding
Helping verified reporting reach more people without disclosing confidential sources or unpublished material.
Recognition reflects the reviewed contribution. Titles are not tied to payment or a fixed number of documents.
03 / OUR PRINCIPLES
Clear roles. Accountable representation.
Recognition, not diplomatic office
Chief Ambassador, Ambassador, and Consul recognize contributions within The Ledgers community. They do not confer government office, diplomatic status, geographic jurisdiction, or managerial authority.
Independent editorial decisions
Representation does not grant editorial authority, influence over findings, or access to confidential submissions. Publication and review decisions remain with the authorized editorial teams.
Editorial review and confidentiality
Recognition follows editorial review of a contribution’s nature and significance, not a payment or document-count formula. Source identities remain private. Do not put raw evidence, source names, or confidential details in the program application; use the separate private evidence intake.
Distinct participation pathways
The ambassador program is separate from Master Crook Nominee participation and evidence review. Account-linked The Ledgers intake does not automatically create membership in another organization or authorize the transfer of submissions.

Before you apply
Does registering make me an ambassador?
No. Registration creates a The Ledgers account. The ambassador application and any subsequent role appointment are separate processes.
How are the three titles determined?
Chief Ambassador recognizes major tips and documentary contributions; Ambassador recognizes supporting and corroborating evidence; Consul recognizes explanation of verified published reporting and awareness. Recognition requires editorial review. No payment or number of documents automatically earns a title.
What do the numbers 2, 4, and 19 mean?
Our current program has 2 chief ambassadors, 4 ambassadors, and 19 consuls: 25 contributors in total. Source identities remain private.
How does this relate to Master Crook Nominee?
They are separate pathways. An ambassador application does not confer Master Crook Nominee status, change review criteria, or authorize access to private evidence. Existing account-linked intake and any consent-based transfer remain separate.
Are source identities or application details public?
No public directory of sources is created. This page shows aggregate counts only. Applications are account-linked and reviewed by authorized staff. Keep raw evidence and identifying source details out of the program application; submit documents through the separate private evidence intake.
