Operating protocol
Six rules. No exceptions.
The room works because access is narrow and every disclosure is deliberate.
Application only
A named individual applies. Role, directorship and operating history are checked.
No public inventory
Cards are not indexed, browsed or broadcast. Relevance precedes access.
Anonymised first
Sector, range, geography and posture move before any identity does.
Dual opt-in
Each principal sees the anonymous shape and may decline without explanation.
NDA before names
Identity and detailed numbers move only after both sides agree and protections are in place.
Control stays with you
A card can be paused or withdrawn in one message. No implied mandate.
