EARLY DOCUMENT - NEEDS WORK

Point-by-point analogy for digital trust interactions:

Dance	Interaction in a digital trust relationship	Both involve two (or more) parties moving in coordination toward a shared goal.
Steps in a dance	Agreed-upon processes, protocols, or actions	Each “step” corresponds to a specific action that needs to happen to maintain trust and move forward.
Orchestrated steps	Predefined, agreed-upon sequences in trust-building	Just as dancers follow choreographed steps, participants follow established trust-building processes.
First few moves	Initial onboarding or verification phase	The hardest part is starting — initiating the trust process without confusion or conflict.
Standard opening sequence	Standardized onboarding or handshake protocol	A shared, universal way to begin so both parties know what’s happening and can align quickly.
Getting partners in sync	Aligning expectations, rules, and roles	Both parties understand what’s expected and how to proceed.
Discovering the type of dance	Determining the type of trust relationship	Quickly figuring out if the relationship will be transactional, collaborative, long-term, etc.
Ayra Cards	The tool providing the “opening sequence”	Like a universal dance intro, Ayra Cards standardize the first moves so the rest flows smoothly.
