Ivan Golovach built and operates the CitrusGate workflow, holds the release stop-line on the private memo, and answers fit questions directly. The service is sold on inspectable work, clear boundaries, and one accountable operator.
## Entity
- Name: CitrusGate LLC
The operating entity behind the site, the Stripe checkout, and the private brief release.
## Service And Fit
CitrusGate sells one fixed-scope Decision Friction Brief. It is meant to help a B2B software team diagnose one live buying decision before pricing, proof, or messaging work expands around the wrong explanation.
### What you buy
One async-first internal brief priced at $1,500. It names the primary blocker, the tempting wrong move to avoid, and the smallest credible next move.
### Who it is for
Best for B2B software teams in multi-stakeholder evaluation when a PMM, product, GTM, or executive lead needs fast clarity on why buying decisions are stalling.
### When not to use it
It is a poor fit for battlecards, a generic benchmark deck, a workshop-heavy first engagement, or a full win-loss interview program as the first step.
## Workflow
Research is structured first. Decision pressure is ranked next. The first correction is narrowed after that. The memo is then reviewed and released by one accountable operator.
### Bounded evidence first
The workflow starts from public company evidence, supporting context, and company-specific inputs. It does not begin by asking for a generic freeform essay.
### Staged narrowing, not one-pass drafting
The work moves through separate layers for company intelligence, decision pressure, intervention narrowing, and memo release instead of pretending one prompt can do every job well.
### Checked output between stages
Each stage has a fixed structure. If output does not match it, it gets corrected or rerun instead of quietly becoming a finished brief.
### Human release stop-line
The memo can be edited, saved as draft, and approved before private delivery. A model-assisted draft is not the same thing as a released brief.
## Editorial Boundary
CitrusGate publishes public proof, not raw company notes. The site shows how the diagnosis thinks without exposing the company-specific correction that belongs in private delivery.
- Public pages show public-safe proof, dated recurrence, and blocker framing.
- They do not show raw company notes or the private next move for one team.
- Published counts refer to the current public release, not every private company the workflow has touched.
- The first commercial product is the fixed-scope Decision Friction Brief.
## Method Boundary
Models may assist extraction, ranking, and drafting inside the workflow. They do not decide what gets shipped. The private brief is a bounded, reviewed release, not an autonomous answer engine or a pedigree sale.
- The memo stage works from prior structured layers instead of improvising a fresh report from scratch.
- If a run does not match the required structure, it gets corrected or rerun instead of quietly shipping.
- Buyer-submitted context is used to produce the ordered brief and is not republished publicly by default or intentionally used to train CitrusGate public materials.
- Third-party model providers may process submitted context under their own API or business data controls and retention rules.
- If your company needs an NDA or a model-processing restriction before sharing context, email before purchase.
## Route Types
### Dispatches
Dispatches show what materially changed in one recent research window instead of silently replacing the previous cohort.
### Blockers
Blocker pages are the evergreen layer. They collect recurring friction areas that deserve a durable public frame.
### The brief
The brief is the paid next step. It does not repeat the public diagnosis; it narrows one company's next move and makes clear what should stay untouched.
## Accountability
CitrusGate LLC is responsible for the site, the fixed-price checkout, and the private brief delivery. Ivan Golovach holds the release stop-line on the private memo, and the buyer can inspect the specimen briefs, diagnosis path, and public corpus before deciding whether that trust is earned.
- Questions before or after purchase go through ivan@citrusgate.com.
- The public trust layer is artifact-led: specimen briefs, one diagnosis path, corpus counts, and explicit boundaries before checkout.
- The memo can be edited, saved as draft, and approved before release.
- The brief is delivered for internal team use and is not repurposed publicly unless it has been fully abstracted.
- Primary action: Start the brief - $1,500 (https://archive.citrusgate.com/order)
- Secondary action: Read the confidentiality policy (https://archive.citrusgate.com/confidentiality)
## Trust And Privacy
If a piece of information only makes sense when the reader knows the exact company, contact, or outreach context, it stays private. CitrusGate does not repurpose client-specific brief detail onto the public site unless it has been fully abstracted and made public-safe.
