What it is Filled

In scope
- The rank's names, translations and identification within the Table of Ranks
- Period-specific conditions for acquiring and holding the rank
- Evidence linking a holder to an award of the rank
- Period-specific precedence, status consequences and rank equivalences
- Distinguishing historical rank attribution from literary representation
Out of scope

Why it exists Filled
Enable an agent to recognise Collegiate assessor as a historical civil rank, assess evidence of its attribution, and interpret its implications within the applicable period.
Distinguishing features Filled
- Require identification with the Russian civil-service title коллежский асессор, rather than an assessor working at a college.
- Check for class VIII in the civil branch of the Table of Ranks; a similar translated title alone is insufficient.
- Separate possession of the rank from appointment to a particular office or membership of a collegium.
- Treat military equivalence as a dated relationship rather than evidence that the holder served as a military officer.
- Distinguish a documented historical holder from a fictional character described using the same title.
