Transaction factors

Why the safeguard recommendation changes

Stake

Moderate

This factor does not materially change the provisional recommendation.

Duration

Moderate

This factor does not materially change the provisional recommendation.

Complexity

Moderate

This factor does not materially change the provisional recommendation.

Verification

High

This factor reduces the need for additional protection.

Assurance

Low

This factor increases the need for staged or reviewed performance.

Recommended safeguards

Protection for this transaction

These controls change transaction structure, not discovery rank or social status. Moral Trade does not itself provide escrow, custody, legal enforcement, or payment protection.

Begin with a small, fully reviewable pilot rather than an unsecured long commitment.
Use milestones or an external regulated payment/custody mechanism before irreversible performance.
Split the commitment into dated milestones with explicit amendment and exit rules.
Add a proportionate performance bond, staged settlement, or equivalent external assurance.

Separation of concerns

What this view does not decide

Moral value

It does not decide whether this cause or worldview is correct, popular, or valuable.

Additionality

It does not establish that the action would not have happened without the trade; baseline evidence remains separate.

Externalities

It does not establish that non-parties are unharmed; externality and safety review remain separate gates.
