+We set expectations for how **journalists, analysts, and partners** should talk about the project without limiting freedom of expression or controlling the narrative. The goal: suggest how to shape the narrative style only, _without over-controlling it_.
+
+### **Core Narrative**
+
+- We are **not just another AI tool**.
+    
+- We are building a **secure, context-aware system for distributed reasoning and collaboration**.
+    
+- Our design borrows from **ecology and natural sciences metaphors** because we see digital systems as living ecosystems — not as simple workflows.
+    
+- Our focus is on **trust, auditability, and compartmentalization**, not hype.
+
+- We are a small dedicated team of Aussie AI enthusiasts with a social and ecological conscience, not another corporate giant, or tech bro.
+
+### **Suggested Language for Outlets**
+
+- “A _field guide to automation and intelligence systems_ — mapping the strengths and limits of today’s tools while charting a new course for distributed collaboration.”
+    
+- “Blends rigor with curiosity: academic-inspired clarity and natural sciences observation meets artistic expression and creative problem solving.”
+    
+- “Differentiates itself from glossy AI branding by leaning into timeless aesthetics and a focus on trust.”
+    
+- “Not just automating workflows, but building the protocols for how humans and machines reason together securely as intellectual equals.”
+    
+
+### **Messaging Boundaries (what we avoid)**
+
+- ❌ Don’t frame us as “the next Zapier” or “the next LangChain.”
+    
+- ❌ Don’t reduce to buzzwords like “game-changing AI” or “the ChatGPT of X.”
+    
+- ❌ Don’t oversell GPU/LLM providers as our identity — they’re interchangeable parts, not the core.
+    
+- ✅ Do emphasize **the system, the philosophy, and the trust model**.
+    
+
+### **Press Kit Contents (to prepare)**
+
+- **About Page / One-Pager** (clear, plain language description of what we are).
+    
+- **Visual Assets**:
+    - Logo in monochrome + inverted.
+    - 3–5 sample “plates” (illustrative diagrams).
+    - Photography (IR + B&W field imagery).
+        
+- **Founder Bio** (your voice: practical, skeptical, forward-looking).
+    
+- **Fact Sheet**:
+    - Modules (CHORUS, HMMM, COOEE, UCXL, etc.).
+    - Key dates/milestones.
+    - High-level architecture diagram (in field guide style).
+        
+- **Quotes & Boilerplate**:
+    - “Our system is about context over time, not just computation of convenience.”
+    - “We see software ecosystems the way naturalists see forests — full of interdependencies and hidden patterns that explain deeper wisdom.”
+        
+
+---
+
+✅ With this in place, we influence how outlets frame us: not as “another AI startup,” but as a **new category** with its own philosophy, language, and visual identity.
