The three lived doors have real ladders too:
| Door | The legitimate ladder | Link |
|---|---|---|
| Academic |
get endorsed → submit your first arXiv preprint (7 eligible fields incl. CS) → author status within 3 yrs = waitlist-ready | info.arxiv.org · endorsement |
| Veterans |
service → discharge is the only key — NG/Reserve discharge opens the same 12-month window | usa.gov · military requirements |
| Malta |
loophole found: Nomad Residence Permit ≈ €700 total (€400 + €300 admin) for remote workers worldwide — not €15k–30k → residence card → eID → course → free year (EU citizens: free registration) | nomad.residencymalta.gov.mt · eID guide |
No tool can generate these three — they’re lived statuses. Everything else above is claimable today.
