Five libraries.
Each member sees their tier.
Every example below is built on public documents, with three members asking the same question. Pick the one closest to your organization.

Your tiers, your names.
Each library keeps its own words for access. Chairlift maps them to three nested rings, so a member never searches past their own.
| Library | Open to all | Middle tier | Top tier |
|---|---|---|---|
| Process safety | Public | Member | Corporate |
| Building standards | Public | Member | Subscriber |
| Clinical guidance | Public | Clinician | CE subscriber |
| Tax compliance | Public | Basic | Premium |

Examples are built on public documents; access tiers are simulated. People and companies in the examples are fictional.
