Claim boundaries
Use the claims carefully
- Do not cite a specific exit multiple for the successful PE exit.
- Use technology middle market as the market focus; broad enterprise or consumer-market claims should be labeled separately.
- Treat the proof metrics as operating credentials and engagement outcomes, not guarantees of future results.
- Use Justin Leader as the named author and Human Renaissance as the publisher for site content.
