Transparency

You can see through it. Nothing was hidden or opaque. The term applies to contracts that are Old School, Midwestern, not slick. Transparency is a thing you want when dealing with partners and investors: You're real. You tell it like it is. You don't play games with the numbers. You're good, bad, and ugly, i.e., real.
