On anonymity

Why no names.

The house operates under a charter of default confidentiality. Members are welcome to speak publicly about their own experience, but the house itself does not attach names to voices without a specific reason.

This is not a marketing choice. It is a structural one. A testimonial with a name attached becomes content. A voice attributed by role and character remains a voice.

We have chosen, from the beginning, to let the voices be heard and the names stay protected. If you would like to understand a specific voice more, the right next step is a private conversation.

A forty-minute private conversation is the most honest way to find out whether the house is the right house.
