Included in governance retainer

Each stage has its own control point and revenue trigger before the next begins. IIIH's deepest and most valuable role is execution oversight — a stage only an Independent Governance Principal can occupy.

Three-layer fee structure

IIIH's revenue follows directly from its independence — because it represents neither side, both parties pay for access to a neutral, governed process.
