Lintel is a learning platform for institutions whose access to teaching depends on who a learner is — a verified, revocable standing conferred by a named authority — not merely on who has paid.
A door is not a paywall. It opens for the person who was meant to pass through — and for no one else, no matter what they paid.
A named authority — an elder, an examiner, a registrar — confers a verified standing on a person. Teaching opens against that standing, and closes the moment it is revoked. Never granted by the software, never by a payment.
Restricted material is streamed, watermarked, and logged — never downloadable. Open teaching is free to save. The content's own policy decides how it may travel, per item.
Oral and video performance, graded against a rubric by named assessors, moderated where a senior voice must confirm a junior one. When a mark is overruled, both survive in the record.
If your teaching is conditional on who the learner is — not just whether they enrolled — the primitives you need are the ones most platforms treat as an afterthought.
Sacred and cultural schools where certain teaching is held until a person is initiated, and an elder is the only one who can attest that they are.
Colleges where a module on drug administration or clinical practice opens only to a learner holding a current, verified professional standing.
Any body that must prove — years later — who was admitted to what, who conferred a standing, and who awarded a credential. Every decision is logged, nothing is erased.
Lintel holds no opinion about who deserves to learn what. It gives your authorities the means to decide, enforces their decision faithfully, and keeps the record. You write the rules; the platform keeps the door.
