PrivacyDo not collect protected or sensitive operational details
Review cadenceUse occasionally for institutional literacy

Ask the operator, not just the spokesperson, what ordinary dependencies matter. The purpose is institutional literacy, not intelligence collection. Do not pressure workers to reveal protected infrastructure details, security arrangements, private records, credentials, patient information, or vulnerabilities that should not be public.

Context

Institution / function
Role interviewed - no unnecessary personal details
Date
Public / lawful context for conversation
