An ordered five-value result vocabulary for rating a seeker's posture within each spiritual-growth pillar. The same ladder is reused across all six pillars; pillar-specific calibration lives in skos:scopeNote on the pillar concepts.

Code	Label	Definition
`GMOP-AWA`	Aware	The seeker has become aware of this dimension — has encountered the idea (of the gospel, of Scripture, of prayer, of Christian community) but has not yet engaged it with curiosity or action. Recognition without movement.
`GMOP-COM`	Committed	The seeker has made a settled personal commitment in this pillar and practices it consistently — e.g. has professed faith (Belief), reads the Bible 4+ times a week (Bible), has been baptized (Baptism). Consistent personal practice, but not yet reproducing it in others. Example: Bible/Committed ≈ reading the Bible 4+ times a week; Belief/Committed ≈ has made a profession of faith.
`GMOP-DIS`	Disengaged	No engagement with this dimension of spiritual life. The seeker shows no awareness, interest, or activity in the pillar. The floor of the ladder — distinct from 'unknown' (which is simply the absence of any reading).
`GMOP-INT`	Interested	The seeker is actively curious — asking questions, exploring, sampling the practice. Movement has begun but has not yet become a settled commitment. The exploratory middle of the ladder.
`GMOP-MUL`	Multiplying	The seeker not only practices the pillar but reproduces it in others — leading others to faith, into the Word, into prayer, into community, toward baptism, toward Christlikeness. The apex of the ladder: practice that multiplies. Conceptually adjacent to (not equivalent to) other movement-multiplication apex concepts. skos:relatedMatch (not exactMatch/closeMatch) to gc:LifecycleMultiplying — both name a reproduction apex, but the GMO posture is an individual seeker's reproducing practice within one pillar, whereas gc:LifecycleMultiplying is a whole-ekklesia multi-generational stage. Adjacent, not equivalent (Principle 11b).
