Donor Intelligence
A planned research and planning capability for arts institutions that need licensed, reviewable prospect evidence without uncontrolled scraping, opaque scoring, or automated outreach.
Public inquiry boundary — do not send candidate, committee, relationship, or engagement records. A conversation does not create an engagement.
Evidence before assertion
Mandate profile
The work
The planned capability keeps source, identity match, relationship evidence, professional judgement, and client action distinct.
Provider-approved records with source, permitted purpose, access, date, limitations, and retention controls.
A human-reviewed identity and affiliation record that makes ambiguity visible rather than resolving it through false precision.
Client-authorized relationship evidence and open questions, without inferring private relationships from weak public association.
A reviewed prospect-planning record for authorized client use, separate from contact automation, recommendation, or public claims.
Method / 01—04
Each stage has a named owner, evidence boundary, approval point, and stopping condition. The operating control is part of the work.
Record the client decision, lawful basis, authorized records, provider terms, access, retention, exclusions, and complaint path.
Use approved sources and deterministic provenance while rejecting uncontrolled scraping and unsupported inference.
Require named human review of identity, evidence, ambiguity, relevance, and the distinction between fact and judgement.
Deliver through the approved private workspace with purpose limits, audit, correction, retention, and deletion controls.
