Charter Client Program
Our first 25 charter clients receive 50% off the regular price on the Self-Guided Assessment in exchange for sharing their experience using the program with us. This includes working with Data Defenders to publish a quote on our site that demonstrates the value of the Assessment* and/or allowing Data Defenders to publish your company logo on our site as a customer. Charter pricing applies to the first 25 buyers per product; regular pricing applies thereafter.
Required Commitment
A 30–60 minute interview after your assessment to share what worked, what could be improved, and where the methodology added value. The interview can be conducted with a single participant or split between two participants to reduce individual time commitment.
Interview participation includes permission to use approved quotes from your interview on our website — with attribution you choose, and only after you review and approve specific text.
Optional · Appreciated
Permission to display your company logo on our website as a Charter Client. This is appreciated but not required for charter pricing.
We understand that logo authorization often requires marketing or legal approval — clients in regulated industries can participate in the program without granting logo permission.
* How Quote Attribution Works
Before any quote is published, you review and approve the specific text and choose your preferred attribution format:
Full Charter Client Program terms are provided as part of your purchase. Participation is voluntary at every step — you can decline quotes, decline logo use, or withdraw consent for either at any time.
