What should partner spaces ask before participating?
Questions a potential Humanly Held partner room should ask before it ever considers joining the pilot.
Answer first
Before participating, a partner space should ask what conduct rules apply, who owns incident escalation, how operator contact works, what stays out of scope, and why private homes stay excluded.

Audience: Space owners, studio managers, and hospitality operators considering an early Humanly Held partnership conversation.
This guide supports careful partnership conversations. It does not claim active partner recruitment, signed rooms, or live room approvals.
Studios that want clarity before they say yes to a sensitive new category.
Operators who prefer explicit responsibility boundaries over vague partnership language.
Reviewers checking whether partner conversations are grounded in real operating questions.
Local supporters nominating rooms that care about standards.
Not a fit
Rooms looking for a casual listing without conduct alignment.
Partners who expect the category to stay intentionally vague.
Spaces unwilling to discuss escalation, privacy, or access controls.
Anyone treating partnership as a quick inventory swap instead of a trust decision.
What should a partner ask about scope?
A partner should understand the category in plain language: adult-only, fully clothed, platonic, trusted-space based, and manually reviewed.
They should also ask what the service is not, because wrong-category drift is often the fastest way to create avoidable risk.
What should a partner ask about the room?
The room questions are practical: how access works, who is present, what privacy means, what the staff needs to know, and how to end the interaction safely if needed.
A strong partner conversation makes those mechanics visible early.
What should a partner ask about incident handling?
A partner should know who the operator is, how concerns get escalated, what support the room is expected to provide, and what is never stored or handled casually.
That keeps the burden shared clearly instead of silently shifting it onto the room or the companion.
What should a partner ask about launch timing?
The right question is not just when this goes live. It is what launch gates still need to clear before a room should present itself as part of the network.
That preserves trust and avoids public claims outrunning reality.
