The Twenty Two · Requirements
The Twenty Two membership requirements
Every criterion The Twenty Two publishes, with its source, the date it was verified and how confident we are in it — plus superseded figures, so you can see how the tests have moved.
Read a requirement as the organization's published floor, not as a promise. A revenue test may have alternative versions for different business types, chapters can set stricter local tests, and invitation-only bodies publish criteria that describe members rather than admit them.
