Standing is counted on your account. Sign in and it follows you.
Rungs come from verified actions only. Turning up to a meeting counts for more than reading — checking in at the door with a gathering’s QR roster is proof you were in the room, which is something you cannot type. Reading and tracking are in your ledger but are not verified actions.
Settings

Appearance
Applies everywhere, on this device and any device you sign in onTheme
Light is the default. System follows your operating system and switches with it.
Accessibility
Reading comfort settings. The two that re-metric the page wait for ApplyReduce motion
Removes transitions, travel and animated reveals across the app. Turned on automatically when your system already asks for reduced motion. Saves the moment you press it.
Reading
Text size
Sets the base size everything else scales from, between 12 and 24 pixels. Waits for Apply, because it re-measures every line on the page.
Dyslexia-friendly font
Switches body text to a typeface designed for easier decoding. Some readers find this much easier; others prefer the default, so try it in the preview and see. Waits for Apply.
Turn the font on to choose between OpenDyslexic, Lexend, Atkinson Hyperlegible and Comic Neue.
Reading tint
Lays a soft colour film over reading surfaces. Some readers find a particular tint calmer over a long session. Saves the moment you press it.
Bionic reading
Bolds the front of longer words to give the eye a fixation point. Helpful for some readers, distracting for others. Saves the moment you press it.
Reading preview
The committee advanced the bill on a nine to four vote, sending it to the floor with two amendments attached.
Nothing staged — the page already reads the way this group says. Tint and bionic reading save the moment you press them.
Personalization
Sectors, policy interests, and what you tell us about youTell POLISCOPE what you care about. This shapes the personalized feed, your bill-impact scoring, and which alerts surface first. Everything here is editable any time.
