Where this operator's lane intersects our substrate
The bigger thing this page is.
Most B2B sites treat people as lead records. SideGuy treats them as operators in a network. This page is the public version of that respect — a citation, not a capture form, and never a claim that anyone here is a client. If you're Steve Lockett and you want it edited or removed, text PJ. That's the whole protocol.
