Code of Conduct

Trust is the currency of the Japanese market. It is hard to earn and instant to lose. The Delphi Network is defined not by the volume of its members, but by the integrity of their interactions.

We ask our members to view every introduction not as a transactional short-cut, but as the foundation of a long-term alliance. To maintain this high-trust environment, we operate under a strict code of conduct.

Rules of Engagement

Member’s Code

In a network defined by the caliber of its membership, clarity is essential. The Delphi Network is not a passive rolodex; it is an active coalition of peers. We require every member to adhere to a specific set of behaviors that prioritize long-term reputational capital over short-term commercial gain.

These standards are non-negotiable. They are designed to create a 'psychological safety zone' where leaders can speak freely, share tactically, and support one another without fear of exploitation. Membership is a privilege maintained through the consistent application of these principles.

  • We prioritize the formation of enduring professional alliances. Members act as long-term partners rather than temporary contacts. Transactional aggression has no place here.

  • We treat one another with the highest levels of professional honesty. Our word is our bond, and we uphold the reputation of the network in all dealings.

  • We operate under a strict code of privacy. Every interaction, introduction, and roundtable discussion is treated as confidential unless explicitly stated otherwise.

  • We believe in the 'Giver's Gain.' We help each other whenever possible, sharing insight and counsel generously without the immediate expectation of return.

  • We recommend only those we know and trust implicitly. We do not make introductions solely for social capital; we make them because they create mutual value.

Our Pledge to You

A high-trust network demands high-trust governance. Just as we require integrity from our members, the Directors of The Delphi Network bind themselves to a strict standard of neutrality.

Unbiased Intelligence: We guarantee that the information and introductions we provide are the best available options for your specific needs, free from hidden commercial agendas.

Zero Commission: We do not charge commissions on deals facilitated through the network. This ensures that when we make an introduction, it is because we believe it is strategically sound, not financially convenient.
