What the fee never does
- It is never deducted from a researcher's reward.
- It never depends on a triage, severity or mediation outcome. Proofline doesn't earn more when a report is rejected or rated lower.
- Mediators and judges are paid a flat rate and never share in it.
- It never requires buying, holding or staking a token.
- It is set per program before any report exists, and shown on the payout record.
