# 🔓 Transparency policy

We run an ultra-open and transparent organization. This site and its
[content repo](https://git.knownelement.com/KNEL/KNELPerfHub) are **public
read-only** — performance data, benchmarks, risk intelligence,
architecture and decision reports are all in the open.

**The principle**: our code, formulas, and methodology are open; the
inputs to them are not. Revenue and expense detail (contract rates,
system costs, billing history, per-tenant margins, customer data) is
private to LLC members and is never published here. This line is enforced
mechanically: the publishing script redacts private literals from every
public page at render time — see
[`grav-publish.sh`](https://git.knownelement.com/KNEL/KNELPerf/src/branch/main/tools/grav-publish.sh).
Public market signals (e.g. ERCOT prices) are open data and stay open.

Publishing is exclusively git-based: content lands via pull from the
public repo; the site runs no foreign tooling. The Grav admin exists only
to prevent first-run setup mode; content never flows through it.
