Confidentiality principles
How Megladon approaches owner control, authority, staged disclosure, and private introductions.
Last updated 9 July 2026
1. First contact is not circulation
Information submitted through a public form is reviewed privately. Megladon does not circulate asset information, contact counterparties, or represent a mandate from first-contact form data.
2. Authority before movement
Before mandate-specific outreach or introduction, Megladon looks for clear authority, principal identity, disclosure permission, and fit. Where authority is incomplete, the enquiry can be held as Authority Pending rather than pushed forward prematurely.
3. Staged disclosure
Disclosure should progress in stages: anonymous signal, asset fingerprint, buyer map, named opportunity, diligence material, transaction process, and completion support. The appropriate stage depends on authority, consent, sensitivity, counterparty qualification, and written terms.
4. Owner-approved routes
For owner-side situations, Megladon's standard is controlled reach: understand the asset, define the buyer map, agree what may be disclosed, and introduce only where permission and fit are clear.
5. Fee chain and source protection
Where intermediaries or referral sources are involved, Megladon expects authority, fee-chain clarity, source protection, and non-circumvention concerns to be addressed in writing before sensitive movement.
6. Legal documents still matter
These principles are operational guidance. They do not replace NDAs, non-circumvention agreements, mandate letters, engagement letters, professional advice, or transaction documents where those are needed.
