DOC-1DOCTRINE The Independence Doctrine

What we will never sell you

When the inspector sells the repairs, every roof needs replacing. The moment an auditor profits from its findings, the findings inflate — subtly, structurally, and forever. INGENIZE's independence is not a value statement. It is contract language. Six clauses, in every MSA, shown verbatim below.

The six refusals

CL.1No remediation. Ever.

We will not fix, patch, refactor, or harden anything we find — for any fee, at any client's request.

Provider shall not, during the engagement or for twenty-four (24) months thereafter, provide software remediation, development, refactoring, or engineering implementation services to Client with respect to any system examined under this Agreement.
CL.2No development services.

We do not build software. Not for audit clients, not for anyone. There is no development arm waiting behind the audit.

Provider represents that it offers no software development services and derives no revenue from software implementation for any party.
CL.3No staffing of audited companies.

We will not place engineers, contractors, or interim executives into any company we have audited.

Provider shall not provide recruitment, staffing, or personnel-placement services to Client for twenty-four (24) months following delivery of the Report.
CL.4No success-contingent certification.

No fee depends on the score. There is no "pass," no seal purchasable by outcome, and no re-score for a price.

All fees are fixed in advance and are in no respect contingent upon the findings, scores, or conclusions of the Report.
CL.5No undisclosed referrals.

If you ask for remediation help, you receive a written list of unaffiliated third-party firms. We accept no referral fees, kickbacks, or reciprocity from anyone on it — and any affiliation we have with any firm is disclosed in writing before a name is given.

Provider accepts no compensation, direct or indirect, from any party to which it refers Client, and shall disclose in writing any affiliation with a referred party prior to referral.
CL.6The findings belong to the client.

Your report is yours. We never disclose an engagement's existence, never use client findings in marketing, and never sell aggregated client data. Benchmarks are built only from anonymized, contractually permitted patterns.

All Reports and findings are Client Confidential Information. Provider shall not disclose the existence of the engagement without Client's prior written consent.

Credible to both sides of the table

Because nothing else is for sale, the report can travel: from your board to your buyer, from your IC to the founder across from you.
