Definition
“Founding Partner” is an administrative label for early support that helped establish operations (infrastructure, legal formation, or initial funding). It is not editorial authority and not a guarantee of coverage.
Boundaries
- No pre-publication review rights.
- No control over standards, approvals, or refusals.
- No guaranteed coverage, placement, or positive treatment.
- No advertorials, co-branded evaluations, or paid amplification.
Conflicts and Recusal
Material interests are disclosed. When a conflict is meaningful, we recuse from evaluation, delay publication, or publish with explicit limits rather than imply independence.
Independence is a condition of continued association.
