  "**The person sets the mandate.** Floor, ceiling, must-haves, never-terms and the walk-away are written before any offer; the card never suggests a price.",
  "**Checked before it is made.** An offer outside the mandate is written as REFUSED, with every reason, and never made.",
  "**Every concession logged.** Each move toward the other side is recorded with its size and its share of the window.",
  "**No caving in one step.** A single concession larger than the mandate's step is refused.",
  "**The log is a chain.** Each entry is hashed with the one before it; a change after the fact names its entry, and nothing more is added.",
  "**Walk away when it says.** When the rounds are spent or the last day has passed, our side makes no more offers."
