+## VI. **The Invitation: Collaboration, Mentorship, Field Alignment**
+
+I’m not chasing disruption.
+
+I’m seeking resonance.
+
+There’s a quiet power in the private investigation world — a discipline that values evidence, timing, and the weight of truth. It deserves more than flashy tools or predictive hype. It deserves real alignment.
+
+That’s what I’m offering.
+
+### I’m looking for:
+
+- Licensed PIs who see the value in emergent tools — but don’t want the soul stripped from the process.
+- Law firms who understand that forensic testimony is more than credentials — it’s narrative coherence.
+- Insurers and legal teams tired of being fooled by polished liars with clean records and disarming charm.
+
+I’m not here to replace anyone.
+
+I’m here to **align** — with those who already live by the ethic of clarity, patience, and results.
+
+I bring recursion. Rigor. Emotional fidelity.
+
+But above all, I bring respect for the field.
+
+> *The truth isn’t loud. It’s patient. And when it speaks — those with ears tuned to integrity will hear it.*
