Our team screens every brief.

Where the letter sits

A client accepts the project letter when they send a brief. That is the confidentiality agreement for that question. It is not signed merely because an account was opened, and it does not prematurely release an expert's identity. Experts accept expert terms when they apply, and complete a formal pre-call screen before an introduction.

Who sees the brief

Our founding team. Compliance is not delegated to an unmonitored junior queue. Our team screens every mandate and conflict check. The expert is informed of the subject matter. The client’s name is shared only when the call is confirmed, or sooner if the client explicitly requests it.

Former employers & Cooling-off rules

A current employee is never introduced to speak about their active employer. An operator who departed that employer within the previous six months is not introduced on that company either, unless they provide written confirmation that they are free to speak and the topic is strictly non-confidential. We would rather decline a brief than invent a cooling-off standard we cannot enforce.

Expert pre-call screen

Before any introduction is scheduled, the expert confirms conflicts, certifies listed-company flags, and signs an MNPI (Material Non-Public Information) and insider trading acknowledgement under SEBI regulations.

Call consent & Chaperoning

When the desk schedules a consultation, the portal records a consent entry the client can review. Calls run direct by default. Silent compliance chaperoning is available upon request when mandated by a client’s internal legal department. Request chaperoning directly in your initial brief.

Ten-minute quality rule

If, within the initial ten minutes of a consultation, the operator does not possess the requisite operational depth matching the brief, notify the desk and end the call. The session is billed at ₹0 / USD 0.

What we strictly will not staff

• Current employees discussing their employer’s unreleased financial metrics or upcoming product launches
• Requests requiring an expert to breach an existing non-disclosure or employment agreement
• Inquiries seeking material non-public information or unpublished price-sensitive information (UPSI)
• Engagements treating an expert as an investigator or commercial spy rather than an industry practitioner
