Role × Certification Competency Matrix

This matrix is the authoritative statement of what every role family at HIVE-13 must be certified to do. It pairs each role family against the Command's core certifications, marks where each certification is mandatory, recommended, or not applicable, and sets the renewal cadence that keeps the workforce current. Lapsed mandatory certifications suspend the relevant duties automatically.

Competency Matrix

Rows are the eight role families that make up the Command's workforce; columns are the six core certifications. Req marks a mandatory certification, Rec a recommended one, and — means it does not apply to that role family.

Reading the grid. Sting / Anaphylaxis First-Response is mandatory for everyone who works near live colonies. HCL-4 Vault Access is restricted to Science and Containment-facing roles. Interdiction RoE is mandatory for Field and Dispatch, who task and direct escalation. Recommended certifications widen a role's coverage but never gate its core duties.

Currency & Renewal

A certification is only valid while current. Renewal cadence, grace periods, and the consequence of a lapse are fixed below; delivery and re-certification run through the HIVE-13 Academy.

CertificationRenewal cycleGrace periodLapse consequence
Sting / Anaphylaxis First-Response Annual 30 days Apiary & field-floor access suspended until re-certified.
HCL-4 Vault Access 6 months None Vault credentials revoked immediately; Director re-authorization required.
Drone-Swarm Tasking Annual 14 days Tasking authority frozen; read-only console access only.
Venom-Extraction Safety Annual 21 days Removed from extraction roster; lab-bench duties suspended.
Biosecurity Entry 2 years 45 days Controlled-zone badge deactivated until refresher completed.
Interdiction RoE Annual None Field tasking and escalation authority withdrawn pending review.

Compliance Snapshot

Workforce-wide certification health as of the current review cycle.

Workforce current 96.4% all mandatory certs valid
Certifications tracked 2,184 active credentials
Lapses this quarter 11 duties auto-suspended
Audits completed 4 trailing 12 months
Automatic suspension. When a mandatory certification lapses past its grace period, MELISSA suspends the relevant duties for that individual without manual intervention — vault credentials, tasking authority, or floor access are pulled until the credential is restored. Reinstatement is processed by Human Resources.

The matrix sits alongside the rest of the people apparatus: see the Job Descriptions for what each role family does, and Onboarding for how new staff earn their first certifications before they reach the floor.
