Every chair in the company

Three corporations, eight rungs, 2,046 capped chairs and 3 corner offices — against 3,332 hireable badges. Chairs are capped per corporation: 682 each, and no amount of money adds one.

Every badge starts an Intern, holds no chair and is paid nothing. The chart below is what it is climbing into.

Hiring has not opened. The protocol ships closed: no badge is minted, no chair is taken and no challenge can be issued. The chart below is the real one — 2,046 capped chairs, 3 corner offices, every one of them vacant. It fills from the bottom as employees are hired and promoted.

Capped chairs
2,046
Associate and above, 682 per corporation. Analyst and Intern are uncapped, so the bottom two rows never fill.
On payroll
0
Badges at Analyst or above. Interns hold weight 0 and receive nothing at all, so the first promotion is what puts a badge on payroll.
Corner offices
0 / 3
One CEO per corporation, weight 700×. A transfer of the badge resets the rank and frees the chair.
Open challenges
0
Each runs a 72-hour window. The defender keeps the chair by matching the challenger's deposit, or loses it.

One chair per corporation, 3 in the whole company, weight 700× — seven times an Analyst's share of every Payday. Selling the badge or handing it to another wallet resets it to Intern and frees the chair; the seat does not travel with the art.

Row width is the cap, fill is occupancy. Intern and Analyst are hatched because an uncapped rank cannot be full — and Intern carries no headcount of its own: it is the rank every badge starts at and returns to on transfer, so the indexer counts chairs from Analyst up. Nothing has been hired yet, so every count reads zero.

Boardroom

Challenges in flight

A challenge is the only route into a full rank. 72 hours, one named badge, the same deposit from both sides.

Open challengesNone open

No challenge is running. When every chair at a rank is taken, a challenge is the only route up: post 40% of the target rank's promotion fee — 4,000 $MEOW for a CEO chair — name a badge number, and its holder has 72 hours to pay the same amount or lose the chair. Each one appears here with its deadline counting down.

Defended: half the deposit burns, half goes to the defender, and that chair is immune for seven days. Failed: the challenger takes the chair, the incumbent drops a rank — two if there is no free chair one rank down — keeps 30% of the deposit as severance, and the rest burns. A badge inside the loan vault can neither issue nor receive a challenge.

Labor marketChallenges open in Phase 3 with the loan vault and severance escrow. Nothing on this page makes a contract call yet.

Chairs run out. Within a month of launch the VP row fills and the only way up is a Boardroom Challenge against a named holder — this is a property of the design, not a bug in it. Two things soften it: the deposit is calibrated at 40% of the target rank's promotion fee so a challenge is expensive for both sides, and a Reorg adds 10% more chairs at every capped rank once cumulative volume clears the owner-set threshold. Interns and Analysts are uncapped, so nobody is ever locked out of being hired — only out of a chair.
