What a rep is cleared to do

No rep enters an operating room unsupervised until Gate 1 is passed. Each gate that follows unlocks more.

Certification is gated, documented, and revocable.

The standard that does not change
“Here’s what I’ve got. That’s your call.”

Eight phases produce a representative who understands anatomy, mechanics, failure and economics better than almost anyone outside an operating room, and who still defers every clinical decision to the surgeon.
