Can comments be attributed to a capital reader?

Comments may be attributed to a capital reader only if attribution is expressly permitted by the room rules and the capital reader has authorized the attribution in the official record. 

The default should be non-attribution or controlled attribution, especially where the capital reader is connected to an investment institution, bank, DFI, fund, insurer, public finance body, public authority, sponsor, or regulated entity. 

Attribution can create false signals. If a capital reader’s name or institution is attached to feedback, submitters may imply investor interest, capital validation, institutional endorsement, public finance support, bankability, or Nexus Universe approval. 

Where feedback must be shared, it should generally be anonymized, aggregated, or attributed to the room record rather than to a named person or institution unless authorization exists. 

A safe formulation is: 

Capital-reader feedback identified the following readiness questions. No individual or institution is endorsing, investing, financing, approving, or committing capital. 

Attribution should be controlled because names carry market meaning.
