Confidentiality as Foundation
NDA-first engagement protects IP value and enables honest evaluation.
Why Confidentiality is Non-Negotiable
For IP risk-shifting to work, both parties need legal protection
Why Confidentiality Matters
- IP loses value when disclosed publicly
- Honest evaluation requires detailed discussion
- Legal protection enables trust
- Both parties need security to engage fully
