Objection handling, openly.
- "Compliance sounds heavy."
- Bronze is intentionally lightweight — sign the charter, declare fair labor, accept a basic complaint pathway. Higher tiers are voluntary.
- "What if a bad review tanks us?"
- Reviews are weighted by reviewer credibility, severity, and time decay. Every entity has appeals + remediation paths. No permanent digital exile.
- "Why not just self-publish ethics?"
- Trust is hard to verify. The whole system exists so consumers, workers, and partners can see verified ethics — not marketing claims.
