Or, if some company has an internal policy that unfairly causes you
to lose business and is not being cooperative on the technical level,
get your legal persons to send them a nice letter about anti-
competitive behaviour and work from there. Sometimes, getting your MD
to call their MD, fly to their HQ for a tour+coffee or any of a number
of other non-technical approach may also work.

Once technical means fail, it's no longer a problam technical means can
solve. Rewriting the rules of how the IRR's work is not a scalable solution.

Clue distribution is always preferrable, but ultimately this is a
business world and sometimes you have to revert to the age-tested
tools society has developed for resolving disputes.
