Pro disclosure should include downstream referral economics

When a Pro refers an Athlete to another Pro (e.g., CFP → Estate Attorney), the downstream commission split should be disclosed up front. Athletes shouldn't have to ask. — Maria L., CFP · Charlotte, NC

The Covenant is a model. AEA proposes adopting it federally, with state ratification mechanism for local context. — Founder · Founding Chair

Mandatory plain-English disclosure at the start of every engagement. Not buried in a 40-page fee schedule. — Coach Loggains · Jonesboro, AR

Standardized fee disclosure across every Pro-Athlete engagement is the simplest, biggest unlock here. Anchor it to the AE Covenant and codify.
