நிலைமை போதுமான அளவு உருவானபின், மறுக்கக்கூடிய/கைவிடப்பட்ட (அபித்யக்த) இடைநிலையாளர் மூலம் இவ்வாறு அறிவுறுத்த வேண்டும்— “இந்தப் பொருள்—அல்லது இந்தக் கிடங்கு—நான் உனக்கு அனுப்பியது. சங்கம்/கூட்டமைப்பு (சாமவாயிக) இடையில் உன் உரிமையை நிலைநிறுத்து; அல்லது அங்கிருந்து விலகி விடு, அப்போது மீதித் தொகையைப் பெறுவாய்.”

FAQs

Why use an ‘abhityakta’ intermediary?

To preserve deniability and reduce blowback; if exposed, the sponsor can disown the messenger.

What is the choice architecture offered to the target?

Escalate within the guild to seize/secure advantage, or exit quietly for a partial payout—both outcomes serve the operator’s control.
