Three puzzle cycles: 2012, 2013, 2014. Solvers invited to private servers. Solvers who spoke publicly were removed from the pool and denied further contact.

Linguistic signatures across the puzzle set suggest authorship by a standing organization with continuous tenure of at least 14 years.

Recruitment activity is not public since 2014. Private channels remain active. Identity unknown. Purpose assessed with LOW confidence as COUNTER-SURVEILLANCE SELECTION.
