§ 1
Independence
Minuci Advisory LLC is an independent business entity. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operating on behalf of any educational institution or any other employer of its founder. All consulting and advisory work conducted under the Minuci Advisory name is performed in the founder's personal capacity, outside of and separate from his academic responsibilities. It is governed by the conflict-of-interest and outside-activity policies that apply to those responsibilities.
References to academic experience, research methodology, or peer-reviewed work on this site describe the founder's professional background. They do not represent the position, endorsement, or sponsorship of any university, department, research center, journal, professional society, or other institution with which the founder is or has been associated.
No university resources (staff, students, software licenses, computing infrastructure, data, or office facilities) are used in the conduct of Minuci Advisory engagements.
§ 2
Privacy
This site is intentionally minimal in what it collects. The firm's informational pages carry no third-party advertising tracker, no analytics provider, and no marketing pixel, and they set no tracking cookies, which is why the site shows no cookie banner. The one exception is the workshop booking and checkout flow, described at the end of this section.
Two pieces of information are stored, both only on the visitor's own device, in browser localStorage:
- A small counter of pages viewed and time spent, used to render the session-statistics block in the page footer. This data never leaves the visitor's browser and is not transmitted to the firm.
- A user preference signal for reduced motion, read from the operating system, used to disable animations.
When a visitor sends an email to the firm, that message and any attachments are received and stored in the firm's email system (Google Workspace) under standard business-record retention. The firm uses email content only to respond to the inquiry and to manage any resulting engagement. Inquiries are not added to a marketing list, sold, or shared with third parties.
Server logs maintained by the site's hosting provider may record internet protocol (IP) addresses, user-agent strings, and request timestamps as part of routine operations. These records are not joined to identity, are not used for behavioral profiling, and are retained only as required by the hosting provider.
When a visitor books a paid workshop, the payment is handled by Stripe, a third-party payment processor. To take the payment and screen it for fraud, Stripe collects the card and contact details entered at checkout and sets its own cookies in the browser for the length of that flow. The firm receives confirmation of payment and the booking information it needs to run the workshop. The firm does not receive or store full payment card numbers. Stripe handles card data under its own terms and privacy policy, available at stripe.com/privacy. This happens only when a visitor chooses to book and pay. Browsing the rest of the site does not trigger it.
§ 3
Terms of use
This site is provided for informational purposes. Content on the site describes the firm's general approach to engagements. It does not constitute professional advice, an offer of services, or a binding commitment. No advisory relationship is formed by visiting the site, reading its content, or sending an email inquiry. An advisory relationship is formed only by an executed written engagement agreement.
The site is provided on an "as is" basis. The firm makes reasonable efforts to keep the content accurate and up to date but does not warrant that the site will be error-free, uninterrupted, or fit for any particular purpose. Visitors are responsible for the use they make of the information presented.
The session-statistics block on this site is illustrative. It is generated in the visitor's browser from local browsing data and does not represent any real client engagement, real client data, or real measured effect.
Booking a workshop or any other paid offering, whether through this site or directly with the firm, is subject to the payment, refund, and cancellation terms in Section 4 below, together with any separate written terms provided at the time of booking.
§ 4
Payments, refunds & cancellations
Workshop seats are sold through the firm's website and booking correspondence. A booking is for a seat in a scheduled workshop. Full payment is due at the time of booking, and payment is what confirms and holds the seat. The firm does not take partial deposits. For a group booking, one organizer books the cohort and pays the group total in a single transaction. How the cost is shared among attendees is arranged by the organizer and sits outside the firm's involvement.
Payment is processed by Stripe, a third-party payment processor. The firm does not receive or store full payment card numbers. Card details are handled by Stripe under its own terms and privacy policy, as set out in the Privacy section above.
A booking is eligible for a full refund when the firm receives a written cancellation request at least 48 hours before the scheduled start time of the workshop. An email to eddy@minuciadvisory.com counts as written notice. Within 48 hours of the start time, a seat is no longer eligible for a refund. In place of a refund, a booked seat may be transferred to a colleague at no extra charge, provided the firm is told of the substitution before the workshop begins. A seat that is neither attended nor transferred before the workshop begins is treated as used and is not eligible for a refund.
If the firm cancels or reschedules a workshop, every booked seat for that session is eligible for a full refund, or for transfer to a future session at the booker's choice.
Approved refunds are returned to the original payment method through the payment processor. A refund may take up to ten business days to appear, depending on the card issuer or bank.
Continued access to the firm's private skills repository beyond the month included with a seat is billed monthly. It may be cancelled at any time and stops at the end of the current billing month. Monthly access fees already charged are not refundable in part.
Outside the cases set out above, refund and cancellation requests are reviewed individually and are not guaranteed. The firm may, at its sole discretion, grant an accommodation in an exceptional circumstance. Any accommodation granted applies only to the specific request, is not an admission that a refund was owed, and does not change this policy, set a precedent, or waive the firm's right to apply this policy in full to any other booking.
If you believe a charge is incorrect, contact the firm at eddy@minuciadvisory.com before opening a dispute with your card issuer. Most billing questions are resolved quickly and directly.
§ 5
Confidentiality
Engagement content (the question, the data, the analysis, the deliverables) is treated as confidential to the client. The firm does not publish identifying details of engagements, does not use client data for any purpose outside the engagement, and signs mutual confidentiality agreements on request before any sensitive material is exchanged.
Aggregate, fully de-identified observations from engagements may inform the firm's general writing and methodology. No client name, sector identifier, or fact pattern that could identify a client is used in any external communication without prior written authorization.
§ 6
Trademarks & copyright
"Minuci Advisory," the Minuci Advisory wordmark, the Promethean torch mark, and the tagline "Automate the repetitive. Reclaim the strategic." are used as trademarks of Minuci Advisory LLC. All page content, imagery, and source code on this site are © 2026 Minuci Advisory LLC unless otherwise noted, and are not licensed for reuse without written permission.
Third-party marks referenced on this site (for example, software products, data providers, or industry frameworks) belong to their respective owners and are used for descriptive purposes only.
§ 7
Workshop materials & access
Booking a seat grants the named attendee a personal, non-transferable right to take part in the workshop and to use the materials provided with it for their own work. A booking transfers no ownership of any material. The workshop materials, including the curriculum, slides, written guides, code, the skills and the private repository provided with a seat, and any recording the firm makes available, remain the property of Minuci Advisory LLC or its licensors.
Attendees may not record, screen-capture, republish, post, sell, or otherwise share the workshop or its materials, in whole or in part, beyond their own use. This covers session recordings and video, the contents of the private repository, the skills and prompts provided, and any access link, login, or account address used to reach them. Access credentials are personal to the attendee. They may not be shared, resold, or used by anyone else.
Work an attendee produces on their own files during the workshop belongs to the attendee. This section covers the firm's materials and access, not the attendee's own data or the output they build.
These terms create binding obligations. Sharing, copying, or redistributing the workshop materials, or disclosing access credentials, causes harm to the firm that withdrawing access or issuing a refund cannot undo. If these terms are breached, the firm may suspend or withdraw access to the private repository, recordings, and other materials without refund, and the firm also keeps every other remedy available to it in law and in equity. That includes asking a court to order the misuse to stop and to award damages together with the reasonable costs of enforcement. Nothing in this policy reduces the protection that copyright, trademark, and trade-secret law already give the firm's materials.
An attendee who shares or misuses the materials is responsible for the resulting loss to the firm and agrees to cover the claims, damages, and reasonable legal costs that arise from that misuse. This section continues to apply after the workshop ends.
§ 8
Contact for legal matters
Privacy requests, takedown notices, conflict-of-interest inquiries, and any other legal correspondence may be sent to eddy@minuciadvisory.com with the subject line beginning "Legal:". The firm aims to acknowledge legal correspondence within five business days.
