The structured matching process is intentional.
It is designed to protect you from:

Alignment is strategic.
BELAY’s minimum commitments are often interpreted as rigid.
In reality, they exist to ensure:

It is:
“How confident do I want to be in the person I trust with my operations?”
BELAY’s structure may appear slower.
But that structure protects you from:
For leaders building sustainable organizations, stability outperforms speed.
BELAY is not designed to win on convenience alone.
