reciprocity

Activate when: someone is being unexpectedly generous before making a request; you're deciding whether to accept a gift, free sample, or unsolicited concession; you're designing a sales or fundraising sequence and want to give first; a negotiation counterpart just retreated from an extreme position and you feel pulled to match; you're asking "why do they keep buying me lunch?" or "should I send a gift first?" Do NOT activate when: the exchange is explicitly priced (commerce, not reciprocity); the gift is a normal recurring pattern in an established friendship with no pending ask.
