Two layers, one ecosystem
The official layer protects trust. The community layer expands usefulness. They must work together, but they should never be confused with each other.
- Official layer: registry, verification, review decisions, publication status, and the strongest trust signals.
- Community layer: useful visibility for places, services, transport, boarding, dog-friendly locations, and moderated activity or suggestions.
- Everything public still passes through review before it appears to visitors.
Who uses what
The platform becomes easier when every user understands which zone belongs to them and what they can actually do there.
- Guest: can explore public pages, registry, partners, community, knowledge, and verification.
- Member: can manage profile, My Cane Corso, submissions, and ecosystem listings from the owner workspace.
- Partner: enters through the partner application flow and is visible only after approval.
- Reviewer / admin: moderates submissions, decides trust states, and controls publication.
The registry is the official trust core
Registry is not just a list. It is the official publication layer for approved Cane Corso profiles and certificate-linked trust presentation.
- Members prepare and submit a Cane Corso profile.
- Reviewers request changes, approve, and later publish.
- Published entries connect to verify and become part of the official read model.
Knowledge explains the breed, not only the product
Knowledge is where users should understand the Cane Corso itself: care, temperament, history, health awareness, and long-term ownership guidance.
- This is the educational layer of the platform.
- It helps new and existing owners understand the breed with more confidence.
- It supports trust by making the platform useful beyond listings alone.
My Cane Corso is the private preparation zone
The member workspace is where owners create profiles, refine data, prepare media, and move toward official review and publication.
- This area stays personal and editable before publication.
- It should always explain what is private, what is under review, and what is already public.
- Help is especially important here because this is where users do the most real work.
Review protects quality before anything goes public
Review is the control layer between submission and publication. It is where admins protect quality, request changes, and decide what is ready for visibility.
- Moderation is not only approval. It is trust curation.
- The same principle applies to registry, partners, and community visibility.
- This is why official vs community can stay separate while sharing the same moderation discipline.
Partners stay curated and professional
Partners are part of the trusted business network: clinics, trainers, handlers, breeders, stores, relocation, hotels, and other relevant services.
- Partner presence is not automatic.
- Applications are reviewed before public visibility.
- Partner pages should feel premium, useful, and clearly approved.
Community expands the ecosystem without weakening trust
Community is where broader usefulness lives: walk places, play areas, dog-friendly places, boarding, transport, and other approved ecosystem visibility.
- This is where official vs community becomes visible to the user.
- Community content may be practical and local, but still reviewed before publishing.
- The goal is a full Cane Corso ecosystem, not only a registry website.
Suggestions should be guided, not chaotic
Owners and users should be able to propose useful places, services, or ideas, but the product must explain clearly that suggestions are reviewed before public visibility.
- Suggestions are proposals, not immediate publications.
- A help layer should explain what makes a suggestion useful and acceptable.
- This keeps the platform open to growth while protecting quality.
Activity is the living pulse of the platform
Activity can later include meetups, events, walks, training fields, gatherings, and other real-world movement inside the Cane Corso ecosystem.
- Activity should build on the same moderated engine, not on a separate disconnected module.
- Location-aware visibility matters here.
- The product should feel alive, but still controlled and premium.
Unico Suo Genere explains why the platform exists
USG is the premium trust and education layer around Cane Corso profiles. It respects official kennel systems while giving owners a careful way to present evidence, family history, and reviewed platform identity.
- USG does not replace FCI, pedigrees, clubs, judges, veterinarians, or official kennel organizations.
- USG separates Registry, Certificate, Verify, Gallery, Community, and Knowledge so users understand what each surface means.
- A Cane Corso without full paperwork is not automatically false; the platform should show the evidence level honestly.
Certificate is a platform trust document, not a pedigree
The USG Certificate shows reviewed profile identity, available evidence, admin notes, Registry connection, and Verify path. It must never pretend to be an official pedigree or kennel-club document.
- It can record pedigree evidence when available.
- It can also record documented family line or observational profile evidence.
- Its purpose is clarity and trust, not replacing official documentation.
Bulgarico is an observational framework, not an official standard
USG Bulgarico documents possible local phenotype directions in Bulgaria carefully and respectfully. It does not create a new breed, national variant, or official standard.
- Officially, Cane Corso remains Cane Corso Italiano.
- Approximately three working phenotype directions may be documented as a hypothesis based on long-term observation.
- Color, line, origin, structure, and selection can be read together, but color alone proves nothing.
