- Yes — iVC counter-signs the client NDA without redlines, and the interpreter signs a second personal NDA before the day.
- 03Should the interpreter know our numbers and strategy?
- Yes — the 10-minute pre-meeting briefing is the safest way to align tone and word choice with intent.
- 04Same interpreter for a follow-up remote round?
- Yes — we switch to RSI mode on your platform (Zoom, Teams, Kudo, Interprefy).
