Contact & Controlled Entry
Purpose of Contact
Contact with Istawra is intended exclusively for senior institutional leaders seeking confidential, independent counsel on high-consequence mandates. This channel is not for general inquiries, procurement processes, or business development outreach.
Conditions for Initiating Dialogue
An initial dialogue with Istawra is appropriate only when the following conditions are met:
The matter concerns institutional direction, strategic coherence, or a mandate-level decision with long-term implications.
The authority to engage resides at the highest level of institutional leadership, with clear decision-making responsibility.
The principles of discretion, confidentiality, and seriousness of intent are understood and accepted.
Mode of Initial Contact
Initial contact should be made through a confidential written inquiry directed to Istawra’s designated institutional channels. Direct contact details are not published to preserve the integrity and discretion of the engagement process.
Inquiries should be concise and articulate the nature of the institutional challenge at a strategic level.
Confidentiality from First Contact
All inquiries are treated with strict confidentiality. The fact of the inquiry, its substance, and the identity of the institution are protected with the same institutional discipline that governs formal engagements.
This confidentiality applies regardless of whether the dialogue proceeds to a formal engagement.
Mutual Qualification
Initial contact and any subsequent dialogue serve as a process of mutual qualification. The purpose is to determine whether the mandate aligns with Istawra’s institutional purpose and whether our involvement is appropriate and necessary.
An initial inquiry does not constitute a commitment to engage.
