Public, Private & Selective Sharing — Not Every Proof Should Be Public

A public portfolio is useful, but client data, internal metrics, confidential documents, or strategic decisions may not belong in public.

Does the information contain personal data, NDA material, business secrets, private metrics, unpublished work, or internal context?

Sensitivity — how sensitive is the data?

Audience — who truly needs access?

Permission — what exactly may they see?

Visibility — public, private, or selective?

Controlled Proof — can value still be proven without overexposure?

Profile summaries, selected work, public case studies, Tips, and Events can often be public when no restrictions apply.

Drafts, raw feedback, internal documents, confidential evidence, or unannounced projects may need to stay private.

A client may see the full case; a recruiter may need summary plus results; public viewers may only need selected evidence.

You can hide client names, exact metrics, sensitive screenshots, or internal identifiers while preserving Context → Contribution → Result.

A Project can be public while Evidence stays private. A Result can be selective. A Letter can be fully public.

AI readability and third-party indexing should obey the same permission model instead of creating a separate visibility path.

Do not ask, “Should I make this project public?”

Ask: “Who needs to see which part of this project to understand the value while preserving confidentiality?”

Sensitivity → Audience → Permission → Visibility → Controlled Proof.
