Policy

1.Purpose and Scope

Capsule is a verified knowledge platform operated by Solis Dev, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Solis Holdings Group Inc., incorporated under the laws of Canada. This Policy governs all use of the Capsule platform, including content creation, classification, verification, and community participation.

By accessing or using Capsule, you agree to be bound by this Policy in its entirety. Use of the platform constitutes acceptance of these terms.

2.Knowledge Classification System

Capsule classifies all submitted knowledge under one of six designations, applied with the highest available standard of evidentiary support:

Primary Classifications

Fact — Information supported by verified consensus, multiple independent credible sources, and broad scholarly or empirical agreement. Facts are subject to revision when new verified evidence emerges.

Theory — A coherent framework proposed to explain observed phenomena, supported by significant evidence but not yet established as fact. Theories remain subject to refinement and challenge.

Hypothesis — A claim that is plausible and supported by preliminary evidence but remains under active investigation. Hypotheses are explicitly provisional.

Sub-classifications

Proven — Claims confirmed through rigorous verification, replication, or formal demonstration.

Contested — Claims for which credible evidence stands in genuine conflict, without current consensus.

Debunked — Claims demonstrated to be false through verified evidence.

Misclassification of knowledge is a violation of this Policy and may result in content review, correction, or removal.

3.Contributor Conduct

3.1 Intellectual Honesty

Contributors must represent claims accurately, cite verifiable sources, and disclose conflicts of interest. Fabrication, falsification, or knowing misrepresentation of evidence is strictly prohibited.

3.2 Attribution

All contributors must credit original sources, prior contributors, and the intellectual lineage of ideas. Plagiarism in any form is a serious violation.

3.3 Respectful Discourse

Contributors must engage with other members respectfully regardless of background, credentials, or institutional affiliation. Personal attacks, harassment, or discriminatory conduct will result in removal from the platform.

3.4 No Malicious Contribution

Coordinated misinformation campaigns, bot-driven content submission, sock puppetry, or any attempt to manipulate the verification system is prohibited and may result in permanent ban and legal action where applicable.

4.Verification and Reputation

4.1 Expert Verification

Users may apply for verified expert status by submitting credentials for review. Verification grants additional review privileges but does not exempt verified users from accountability under this Policy.

4.2 Reputation System

Reputation scores are algorithmically calculated based on contribution quality, peer review outcomes, classification accuracy, and community standing. Reputation cannot be transferred, sold, or artificially inflated.

4.3 Institutional Verification

Verified organizations may host research groups and validate contributions from their affiliated members. Institutional verification is granted at the sole discretion of Capsule administration.

5.Content Ownership and Licensing

5.1 User-Generated Content

Contributors retain copyright ownership of original content they submit to Capsule. By submitting content, contributors grant Capsule a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, distribute, and adapt the content for platform purposes.

5.2 Platform Property

The Capsule name, logo, the capsule-pill mark, the clock logo, design system, and source code are the exclusive property of Solis Dev. Unauthorized reproduction is prohibited.

5.3 Public Knowledge Commitment

Capsule's commitment is to public access to verified knowledge. Free-tier content will remain accessible to readers without payment.

6.Privacy and Data Handling

6.1 User Data

Capsule collects only the data necessary to operate the platform: account information, contribution history, and interaction data. Sensitive personal information is encrypted at rest.

6.2 Digital Legacy Vault

Encrypted personal capsules including family records, wills, and legacy documents are protected with end-to-end encryption. Capsule administration cannot access encrypted vault contents.

6.3 Data Residency
