Controls and safeguards
Confidentiality does not conceal conflicts, unlawful conduct or agreed public accountability.
No procurement, political donation, grant or regulatory favour is discussed as consideration.
HIGH — concentrated influence, conflicts, confidentiality and quid-pro-quo perception demand careful invitations and a controlled decision record.
What to measure
Required decision-makers attending with authority.
Follow-up: Confirm the decision record within 24 hours and issue private weekly delivery checks until each commitment is complete or escalated.
