## Before you call it

2. Tell the owner they need an access code to start, and that the acceptable use policy makes them responsible for confirming actions.

Disclosure: szn competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds. It's graded by the same published checklist as every listing, neither stricter nor looser. Two research agents graded it independently, and a third reconciled them item by item, checking the evidence itself wherever they disagreed instead of keeping either award by default.
