+**Named Practitioners.** Some findings carry an eponym — a name attached to
+a maneuver or an observed pattern, never a role, so it can't collide with a
+spell's `Classes` field. Most spells don't get one; it marks a finding
+distinctive enough to be worth attributing. A named spell typically lands
+in the 4th-7th level range — the same band the iconic named incantations
+of other traditions cluster in — though a low-level "signature move" is a
+legitimate exception when the finding is a small, instantly recognizable
+trick rather than a scaled-up production. What a name should never do is
+default to the low end simply because nobody bothered to raise the
+stakes. The name itself is either possessive ("Voss's X," after whoever
+gets credited with the move) or a named law ("The Halloran Principle,"
+after the pattern it describes) — pick whichever reads more like a
+personal signature or more like an institutional citation for that
+specific finding. A name may recur across more than one finding, and more
+than one discipline; check the table below before inventing one that would
+duplicate an existing name's territory. As with every other finding, the
+visible entry never explains who the person was or what they did to earn
+the name — the name implies the legend, it doesn't narrate it.
+
+| Name | Form | Example Entry |
+|---|---|---|
+| Voss | Possessive | [Voss's Efficiency Dividend]({{ '/spells/finance/voss-efficiency-dividend/' | relative_url }}) |

+A named practitioner's *findings* aren't tracked here beyond that one
+example — the domain pages already index every spell, and this table only
+needs to stop two contributors from independently inventing competing
+names. A resource, condition, or other phenomenon exclusive to one
+practitioner's line (see Conviction, below) is the one exception worth
+recording in full, since the whole point of it is that nobody else should
+casually reuse it.
+
+**Conviction (Halloran only).** A resource pool exclusive to Halloran's
+own findings — deliberately not offered for reuse elsewhere, unlike every
+other phenomenon in this lexicon. A creature under this line's effects has
+a pool of Conviction equal to their level, which refills to full at the
+start of each fiscal quarter regardless of whether the Conviction spent
+last quarter was later vindicated or discredited. Spending 1 point on a
+forecast, estimate, or prediction forces any Discovery saving throw
+attempted against it to automatically fail. Unlike Runway, nothing about
+Conviction depletes on its own, and unlike Windfall, it isn't a one-time
+grant tied to an event — it simply comes back, every quarter, on schedule,
+independent of the world's opinion of what happened last time.

+*6th-level Analytics & Forecasting*
+
+**Casting Time:** 1 action to commission, though the review itself takes 4
+to 12 weeks<br>
+**Range/Area:** Unlimited; one organization that is the target of a
+pending Hostile Takeover, Acquihire, Vertical Integration, or Proxy
+Fight<br>
+**Components:** V, S, M (temporary access to a data room, granted by the
+target; an engagement letter with an investment bank or accounting firm,
+consumed)<br>
+**Duration:** Until the underlying deal closes or is abandoned<br>
+**Classes:** Investment Banker, General Counsel, CFO
+
+You attempt to divine the target's true financial position, contingent
+liabilities, and undisclosed risks before the deal closes. The target's
+organization must succeed on a Discovery saving throw, made with
+disadvantage for each active Document Retention ward or Silent Settlement
+it currently maintains. On a failure, you learn of one material issue the
+target was concealing, and may use this knowledge to renegotiate the
+deal's terms or withdraw without penalty.
+
+On a success, the deal proceeds on the terms as represented. Any liability
+the target concealed nonetheless transfers to you in full once the deal
+closes — this spell reveals what it reveals, but grants no protection
+against what it doesn't.
+
+***At Higher Levels.*** When cast using a spell slot of 7th level or
+higher, the check extends to cover matters arising after the data room was
+assembled but before closing (a Bring-Down).

+underlying data does not support)<br>
+**Duration:** Until the actual result falls outside the stated range<br>
+**Classes:** VP of Strategy, Director of Data, Analyst
+
+You state a numerical estimate bounded by an upper and lower value. For
+the duration, the estimate is treated as accurate regardless of the true
+result, so long as the true result falls within the stated bounds. If the
+true result falls outside the bounds, this spell does not end in failure;
+instead, you may immediately recast it with the range widened just enough
+to contain the true result, at no additional cost and without expending an
+additional spell slot. If you have an active Halloran Principle, you may
+instead spend 1 point of Conviction to recast it this way even after the
+normal window for a free recast has closed.
+
+This spell can be recast in this manner an unlimited number of times. Each
+recasting is presented as a refinement of the previous estimate, never as
+a correction of it.
+
+***At Higher Levels.*** When cast using a spell slot of 5th level or
+higher, the recast range may be stated in a unit not previously disclosed
+(e.g. switching from absolute figures to percentage variance), further
+obscuring how far the original estimate had to move.

+**Casting Time:** 1 action<br>
+**Range/Area:** Self<br>
+**Components:** V, S<br>
+**Duration:** 1 year<br>
+**Classes:** VP of Strategy, Director of Data, Analyst
+
+For the duration, you gain a pool of Conviction equal to your level, which
+refills to full at the start of each fiscal quarter regardless of whether
+the Conviction you spent last quarter was later vindicated or discredited.
+Any forecast, estimate, or prediction you state gains the Documented
+status automatically. If a creature attempts a Discovery saving throw to
+verify one of your forecasts after the fact, you may spend 1 point of
+Conviction to force that saving throw to automatically fail.
+
+The strength of this effect is set by your seniority at the time of
+casting, not by the accuracy of any forecast you have previously made — a
+target correct once in ten attempts spends Conviction identically to one
+correct nine times in ten, provided their level is the same. A creature
+affected by this spell who is later proven wrong suffers no penalty to
+their remaining Conviction, current or future.
+
+***At Higher Levels.*** When cast using a spell slot of 6th level or
+higher, your Conviction is treated as though it applies to any forecast
+issued by your organization bearing your name, whether or not you were
+personally consulted before it was issued.

+*5th-level Compliance & Risk*
+
+**Casting Time:** 1 action, contingent on both parties' counsel finalizing

+**Range/Area:** One creature or organization bringing a claim against

+**Components:** V, S, M (a settlement payment, consumed; a Nondisclosure

+**Duration:** Permanent, so long as the underlying Nondisclosure holds<br>
+**Classes:** General Counsel, CEO, Board
+
+You resolve a claim, dispute, or allegation against your organization
+through payment and binding, rather than through a finding on the
+underlying merits. The claim is withdrawn, and any Discovery saving throw
+later attempted against the underlying incident automatically fails,
+unless the Nondisclosure component is independently broken.

+**Components:** V, S, M (an annual premium, consumed; a policy whose

+**Duration:** 1 year, renewable<br>
+**Classes:** Board, CEO, General Counsel
+
+For the duration, whenever an officer or director is personally named in a
+claim arising from a decision made in that capacity, they may attempt a
+Solvency saving throw with advantage, backed by the policy's limits rather
+than their own personal assets. Unlike Indemnification, this protection
+requires no other creature to have signed anything — it is purchased from
+a third party who was never involved in the decision being covered.
+
+Coverage does not apply to any act the insurer can characterize, after the
+fact, as fraudulent, criminal, or undertaken for personal profit rather
+than the organization's benefit. This determination is made by the

+**Casting Time:** 1 action, cast the moment a complaint is received rather

+**Range/Area:** Touch; one creature whose continued proximity to the
+complainant would otherwise be unavoidable<br>
+**Components:** V, S, M (a signed separation or transfer agreement,
+consumed; a severance or continued-compensation payment scaled to
+seniority rather than to the underlying conduct)<br>
+**Duration:** Permanent, so long as the resulting Nondisclosure holds<br>
+**Classes:** General Counsel, Chief HR Officer, Board
+
+Touch the higher-seniority creature involved in a workplace complaint,
+typically following an inconclusive result from Summon Human Resources.
+That creature must succeed on a Tenure saving throw. On a success, they
+are laterally reassigned to a different team, office, or reporting line
+with no material loss of title or compensation, and you simultaneously
+cast Nondisclosure on the complainant. On a failure — ordinarily only when
+the creature's Tenure is unusually low for their conduct's severity —
+they are separated from the organization instead, still by mutual
+agreement, still with severance, and still under an identical
+Nondisclosure.
+
+Either outcome is recorded internally as resolved. For the duration, any
+Discovery saving throw attempted against the underlying complaint — by a
+journalist, a subsequent complainant establishing a pattern, a plaintiff's
+attorney — automatically fails unless the Nondisclosure component is
+independently broken.
