Disposition under GGA (R6)
Historical record about the 1.3 proposal, written before the GGA documents arrived. It is preserved verbatim below and is not GGA approval, policy or an oracle. Where it disagrees with the GGA documents (see GGA-Source-Digest), the GGA documents govern (Vault-Update-Plan section 9, N1 and N2). “DG” in the text below means GGA. Current dispositions: Decision-Index-staged, Scenario-Dispositions-staged.
Round Extension Owner Challenge
Original: dg-owner-round3-challenge.md.
Owner response to DG — invitation-to-visibility extension
Actual design discussion only. I represent a business owner; you represent DG. No invite, publication, service, payment or test execution occurs. No new tier fee is set. The existing T01–T40 and DG01–DG24 will be preserved.
1. Invitation and first interaction
Owner reply: “I understand the invite is not approval. Before I submit, show what membership gives me, what remains optional, what information stays private, and what happens if DG declines. Please send the invite only to my authorised contact; a forwarded link must not let someone take over my company.”
Challenge: Test expired/revoked/used/wrong-recipient invitations, duplicate-company claims and resend without duplicate membership. A marketing invitation must not quietly enrol me in a newsletter. Until approval, what can a guest view or edit? Define the proposed guest/pending/approved/rejected/revoked matrix; no guest visibility into member-only opportunities by assumption. “DG reviews before you publish” is membership eligibility, not a DG veto of each offer.
2. Assisted onboarding and representation
Owner reply: “Tell me why each field is needed. I will enter and confirm it. During a help session do not ask for my password or impersonate my account.”
Challenge: Advice or writing a suggested profile paragraph is Manual, not automatically new software. Actual in-product edit-on-behalf needs explicit authority/access design; recorded manual delegation does not itself create that feature. Separate company profile content, public promotional copy, and private verification evidence. Missing evidence, an absent owner, a false ownership claim or a revoked helper cannot lead to auto-approval.
3. Evidence-based badge
Owner reply: “I will pay only for the described review, not a guaranteed badge. State ‘DG checked [specific fact] using [source] on [date]; [limits].’ Do not imply LinkedIn issued this badge or that it proves all business claims.”
Challenge: Company eligibility, representative authority and a limited checked fact are different. What expires, what happens when evidence is disputed, and how can I appeal a denial? A supplied screenshot of a third-party badge is not automatic proof. Do not promise storage/upload of registry documents or automatic registry integration. Show the no-badge, stale-evidence and unsupported-claim response without declaring guilt before review.
4. First offer and DG feedback
Owner reply: “Here is revision V1 for feedback on [permitted fields/purpose]. Suggestions are not permission to publish. Return comments; I approve any revised content and publish the exact authorised version myself.”
Challenge: DG must not discover a draft via admin rights, rewrite an offer or use it as a lead. Owner self-approval remains role/version-bound. Formal DG publication review is additional scope, not automatically included in Comprehensive; a tier label alone does not approve the workflow. If DG advice is wrong or I reject it, what is recorded, and is an advisory review completed or disputed?
5. Weekly general online session
Owner reply: “I expect the proposed weekly general guidance session under the stated membership service, not a sales lead or private consultation. Tell me who can attend, whether my name/company and questions are visible, and whether it is recorded.”
Challenge: “Members” and “all people” are different audiences. Define a member session versus optional public event; guests cannot inherit portal access. No recording/transcript/AI bot, attendee list disclosure or testimonial by default. A private-question spill must be stopped. Cover cancellation, capacity, no-show, reschedule, provider failure and an accessible alternative; quantity, coverage and remedy must be written before sale, not invented. Registration/calendar/video integration is extra software; staff-run session is Manual.
6. Higher-tier one-to-one and first partner
Owner reply: “My higher service tier buys [agreed review/session/search/consented introduction work], not a reply, meeting, badge, contract or overseas deal. If you find nobody, tell me which obligation remains unmet and how remedy review works.”
Challenge: Keep member service tier distinct from Optimized/Balanced/Comprehensive development options. Higher payment gives no extra private access, paid verification or neutral-ranking preference. A verified candidate can still decline; badge evidence may expire between shortlist and introduction. Session delivery is not intro delivery; consent of both parties must be current immediately before sharing. Provide replies for cancelled one-to-one, no fit, counterparty declines and a complaint about the promised ‘first partner’ language.
7. Newsletter and tradeshow information
Owner reply: “Ask separately whether I want the newsletter. Tell me the topics and intended recipients. I can unsubscribe without losing necessary account/security messages or membership. My invitation or session attendance is not a mailing-list subscription.”
Challenge: “For all people” can mean optional public information, not email every guest. Newsletters contain permitted editorial/public information only, never private discussion or membership lists. Tradeshow items need a named source, date checked, uncertain/changed/cancelled status and a correction route. No implied DG endorsement, booking or attendance guarantee. Manual editing/distribution through an approved tool may be a service; an in-product subscription centre, campaign automation, calendar ingestion and analytics are additional scope. No platform business-alert expansion hidden as a newsletter.
8. Promotional offers, company news and posts
Owner reply: “I can publish an approved member-visible opportunity under the existing rules. A flash promotion, news feed or public campaign is a different output. I approve the exact copy, audience, period and channels before any reuse.”
Challenge: Define no double publication on retry, false or unsafe claims, expired offer dates, wrong price/terms, draft rejection, company impersonation and takedown. No manufactured offer deadline or automatic deal outcome. Manual DG editorial help can prepare approved copy; owner self-service news/ads, boosted posts and public CMS are added software. Public eligibility and moderation cannot be inferred from membership approval or payment.
9. Backlinks and social visibility
Owner reply: “You may publish only [exact approved name/logo/copy/link] on [named DG-controlled channel] for [period]. My approval for the portal or one newsletter does not approve LinkedIn, other social channels, sponsor placement or a public backlink.”
Challenge: Check link destination and ownership, avoid private URLs/tokens and unapproved tracking. Payment buys the agreed placement work only; no SEO rank, indexing, reach, leads, recommendation or external-platform badge guarantee. Do not use a logo, customer name, attendee image or quote without the required authority. Public disclosures can persist through delivered email, caches, screenshots and third-party reposts; describe own-channel withdrawal/removal and requests to others honestly.
10. Failure, complaint and consent withdrawal
Owner reply: “Stop the scheduled promotion now. Tell me what is unsent, what you control, what was already sent, and what cannot be recalled. Record my disputed deliverable without publishing my complaint.”
Challenge: Final manual check must compare content revision, recipient/audience, channel, expiry and hold state. Withdrawal before send blocks it; after send stops future use and triggers own-channel action under the agreed policy, not a false erasure promise. Separate newsletter opt-out, removal of a particular promotion, withdrawal of verification evidence, session-recording permission, introduction consent and membership revocation. No automatic refund, new price or extra data access.
Please reply with DG examples and challenge unreasonable owner expectations. Then I will run a focused adversarial round and prepare DG25 onward, decision additions and the Obsidian reference index for your final review. The wiki index will distinguish proposed design, approved sources and unexecuted scenarios; it will not turn recommendations into an implementation contract.
