How a tip travels: referrals are governed at both ends
The fifth of seven short articles following a tip through the whole life of a program. The fourth covered evidence.
Referrals are governed at both ends
Section titled “Referrals are governed at both ends”A referral is a human decision at both programs: sent by one, accepted by the other. The tip is re-sealed for the destination program before it travels, and the tip’s content travels as written.
Identity artifacts never travel with a referral: the platform stores none to send. The dialogue with the reporter stays with the original program.
