What we won't do
A person reads every intake against this list. A request that fails it is declined.
“We teach how to detect a tactic and why it backfires, never how to deploy it.”
The honest variant is always the default. A deceptive variant is named so it can be avoided, and never given a how-to.
The refusal list
Deceptive Growth & Dark Patterns
Anyone asking for fake reviews, seeded queues, false urgency or implied official status.
Generic Corporate Strategy Consulting
Anyone wanting SWOT, templates, canvases or a "25 biases" workshop.
Clinical & Mental Health Claims
Anyone seeking treatment for addiction or mental health.
Covert High-Stakes Testing
Anyone wanting to test exams, hiring, credit or health outcomes without telling the people being tested.
Defamation and truth standards
For every page that mentions a named company:
Only public, dated, linked facts about named companies.
We critique the tactic, never the people.
We never say a company broke the law unless a regulator or court has said so.
Any named company can reply, and we keep a public corrections log.
