People and obligations
Trusted relationships, current commitments, and anyone you never want blocked.
Gatekeeper qualifies every person who wants your attention. The few that matter arrive in the inbox you already use. You simply reply.

Warm introduction, strong June fit, specific 20-minute ask. Identity and timing verified.
See how a new request moves from a stranger to a qualified message you can answer normally.
Could we grab 30 minutes? I think there may be something interesting here.
Before I interrupt Gaut, could you share:
Jordan — this is relevant. Send the two strongest partner examples and I’ll take a look.
They email the public address you share everywhere.
A qualified request arrives with the original message, a short reason it passed, verified context, and a suggested response. Reply from Gmail, Apple Mail, Outlook, or wherever you already work.
Your policy combines explicit instructions with the signals that make a request genuinely valuable.
Trusted relationships, current commitments, and anyone you never want blocked.
Current priorities, strategic fit, urgency, effort, and credible economic value.
The agent asks follow-ups and verifies claims before spending your attention.
Set a price as one signal—not a wall. Important people always retain a free path.
Gatekeeper is not where you communicate. It is where you teach the agent, connect your real inbox, set the price of interruption, and review what stayed outside.
