# 🔓 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. **This site is assumed 100% public** — nothing is
published here that isn't safe for the open internet. Revenue and expense
detail (contract rates, system costs, billing history, per-tenant
margins, customer data) is private to LLC members and lives in our ERP:
private financial dashboards and reports are built in Dolibarr
(SSO + role-gated), as part of this same program — never on this site.
The public/private 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.
