Ordered five-value headline status for an individual seeker, computed app-side (Open Question Q3) and stored as a value. The journey metaphor (Foggy / Clearing / The Gate / Climbing / View) is carried in skos:altLabel; the integer is in skos:notation (GMOSGS-n) and gmo:ladderRank.

Code	Label	Definition
`GMOSGS-1`	Start	Status 1 — the seeker is at the start of the journey, with little or no clarity about the gospel. The deck's journey metaphor is 'Foggy': the path ahead is not yet visible. Typically low postures across most pillars.
`GMOSGS-2`	Explore	Status 2 — the seeker is actively exploring, with growing curiosity and questions. Metaphor 'Clearing': the fog is lifting and the way forward is becoming visible. Interested-level postures emerging across pillars.
`GMOSGS-3`	Believe	Status 3 — the seeker has crossed into belief, professing faith in the gospel. Metaphor 'The Gate': the threshold of new birth. The pivot between the pre-belief and growth halves of the journey.
`GMOSGS-4`	Grow	Status 4 — the new believer is growing in the faith, building consistent practice across the pillars. Metaphor 'Climbing': active ascent in discipleship. Committed-level postures consolidating.
`GMOSGS-5`	Go	Status 5 — the disciple is sent and reproducing: leading others to faith, into the Word, into community. Metaphor 'View': the summit, from which the disciple now helps others up the mountain. Multiplying-level postures.
