IX. A NEW COMPACT: THE TRANSFORMATION COVENANT

The old contract between professional and customer was based on time, tasks, and transactions. It was legalistic, mechanical, impersonal. It measured inputs, not outcomes. It rewarded compliance, not change.

The new compact is a covenant, not a contract. It is a mutual vow: to pursue serial transformations together, to elevate the dignity of both guide and hero, to create outcomes that endure. In this covenant, value is not measured by activity, but by the fulfillment of quests sustained through time.

We pledge to serve—not just to advise—but to transform.

This is a return to our calling.
