# Values

This demonstration encodes Visa's published purpose, Leadership Principles, and Data Values. It does not infer a private decision hierarchy or claim Visa owner confirmation.

## 1. Uplift everyone, everywhere

**tier:** core

Visa states its purpose as: **to uplift everyone, everywhere by being the best way to pay and be paid.** Use this as the purpose anchor, not an invented mission statement.

## 2. Lead courageously

**tier:** core

Act like an owner, think big, challenge the status quo, and hold yourself and others accountable. Visa describes integrity and long-term growth as part of this principle.
