Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain gifts, relay customs, etiquette, legal and ethical rules from anthropological, tax and anti-corruption sources in general terms, warn about gift card scams, describe the named forms and flag instance and misfiled aliases, and distinguish gifts from bribes, donations to charities, loans, trades and prizes.
An item given voluntarily to someone without expectation of payment, exchanged in customs such as birthdays, weddings, religious festivals and diplomatic protocol, with forms the registry aliases name such as gift baskets, including food, fruit and maternity gift baskets, and specific branded items such as the Presidential M&M s boxes given to White House guests, an instance; the alias donation campaign names organised fundraising and appears misfiled. Gifts can carry legal and ethical rules, including gift tax thresholds, anti-bribery limits for officials and employees, and gift card scams, where fraudsters demand payment in gift cards.
What it is for: Expressing care, respect or obligation.
It can be explain customs and etiquette; relay legal and ethical rules in general terms; describe named forms; warn about gift card scams.
