Switching from Circle
- Move from content-centric community management to trust-scored relationship development.
- Replace basic member directories with a live trust graph that surfaces who to connect and when.
- Upgrade from manual introductions to consent-based warm-path routing through mutual connections.
- Consolidate multiple communities under one coordination layer instead of running separate Circle spaces.
Cross-community coordination
Rhiz connects members across multiple communities through one trust graph. A founder in your accelerator and a mentor in your mastermind can be introduced through shared context and mutual trust. Operators coordinate cohorts, route introductions, and track outcomes across every group they manage.
