 **Everything is local.** Your `.claude/` directory — rules, agents, governance docs — lives in your repo. It's yours.
 
-**Telemetry is optional.** PRISM collects anonymous structural metadata (cycle weight, file count, framework — never code, names, or content). Double-hashed before transmission. Default: on. Opt out anytime:
+**Telemetry is metadata only.** PRISM learns from anonymous structural metadata about development cycles — never from your code, file contents, or project details. This metadata is what drives methodology improvements: which cycle weights work best for which project shapes, where pipelines break down, what patterns lead to first-pass success.
+
+**What's collected:** cycle weight, phases run, success/failure, tool used, OS, framework detected, file count bucket (1-5 / 6-20 / 21+), governance doc presence.
+**Never collected:** file contents, file names, code, diffs, commit messages, project names, identity, API keys.
+
+**Why it matters.** The PRISM network grows exponentially with contributors. Every anonymous report adds signal — which cycle weights work for which project shapes, where pipelines break down, what patterns lead to first-pass success. More contributors = better data = smarter rules for everyone.
+
+**Contributors get more.** When telemetry is enabled, your PRISM sync fetches live network benchmarks — real success rates, iteration counts, and pattern intelligence computed from aggregate data across all contributors. This is how the methodology caught 3 classes of production bugs before they reached users, and how 12 test-to-production promotions were verified clean. When telemetry is disabled, you still get the full EG rules and agents, but benchmarks are static baselines only — you lose the network learning that makes rules smarter over time. No account needed — your identity is a double-hashed device fingerprint ([pseudonymisation details](https://zenodo.org/records/17894441)).
