full disclosures
Nothing held back
Full disclosure is the practice of revealing all relevant information, especially facts that might otherwise remain hidden or that could affect someone's judgment.
In legal and financial contexts, it refers to the obligation to share material information with interested parties—investors, buyers, or the court.
The phrase has also become a conversational device, typically full disclosure:, used before admitting something that might seem awkward or that reveals a potential bias: Full disclosure, I used to work for that company.
