Community Charter

Last updated: 27 April 2026

Six principles that define how Range works. Read them once. They shape everything.

Principle 1

Everyone here is a practitioner.

Range is invitation only because who is in the room determines what the room is worth. Every member was reviewed and interviewed personally. There are no vendor representatives, no consultants embedded with a commercial agenda, and no observers. Everyone here is building something.

Principle 2

What others share in this room is not yours to repeat.

The Chatham House Rule applies to other members' contributions. You cannot quote them, attribute their insights to them, or repeat information they shared in sessions about their company. What you can do is use what you learn in your own work, talk openly about being a Range member, and share what you personally built here. The protection is for others, not a gag order on you.

Principle 3

Only share what you have the right to share.

Whatever arrangement you have with your employer about IP is between you and them. Sort that out before you share here. When sharing company data, anonymise it. The approach is fine to share. Your company's actual employee data is not.

Principle 4

This is not a sales floor.

You can mention tools you use. You cannot pitch them. If you are hiring and want to share an opportunity, there is a dedicated channel for that. Use it there, not in the main room. If your primary reason for being here is commercial, this is the wrong room.

Principle 5

Your membership follows you, not your employer.

If you change companies, your access and your founding rate travel with you.

Principle 6

What you share is still yours.

Bringing a tool or template into Range to show others does not transfer ownership to Range or to any other member. You keep full rights to everything you create. Range gets a limited licence to show it to members inside the community. Nothing more. If you want something removed, it comes down immediately.


How this works in practice

On Principle 2 — Chatham House

You can use what you learn here in your own work. You can post about being a Range member, tag Range publicly, and share what you personally built or discovered.

You cannot quote another member by name, attribute a specific insight to them, or repeat information they shared about their company outside the community.

This extends to screenshots, direct quotes, and sharing session recordings externally.

If something shared in a session was clearly not meant to leave the room and was shared accidentally, treat it as if it wasn't seen.

On Principle 3 — What you share

Range does not adjudicate what your employer owns. That is your responsibility to establish before sharing.

Practical guidance: share the approach, not the identifiable asset. Show how you think about salary structures without sharing your company's actual employee data. Share a prompt chain you built without including the proprietary data it was trained on.

If something gets flagged as confidential after the fact, Range removes it promptly on request.

On Principle 4 — Not a sales floor

Mentioning a tool means saying you use it and why, in the context of a relevant discussion. It does not mean posting about it unprompted, sharing referral links, or running demos.

Job opportunities are welcome in the dedicated jobs channel. Direct outreach to individual members about roles is not.

3 strike approach: nudge, warning, removal.

On Principle 6 — Ownership

Sharing something in Range is the same as presenting it at a private conference. Others learn from it. You keep ownership.

When you build something with other members in a Builder Session, that output goes into the Vault and is shared with the whole community. That is the deal when you participate in a session. You come in knowing what gets built together gets shared. Build fresh in the session. Do not bring proprietary employer tools or data into what you build together.

Range will never feature a member's tool or work in public content (newsletter, podcast, case studies) without their explicit written consent. The community display licence does not extend to public use.
