Tail Clause

Clear, fair, and designed to protect both parties.

  • Scope: Tail applies only to buyers we directly contacted AND received a response from.
  • Period: 12-month tail period post-engagement.
  • Transparency: Named buyer list provided at start, updated weekly.
  • Principle: Transparent. Auditable. Fair.

Every option runs a real market.

The difference is scope, speed, and how we split the economics.
Wednesday we pick one and go.
