Create a source record
Maintain the approved name, title, company, location, biography, headshot, profile links, topic permissions, restricted claims and preferred attribution.
Map approvals and availability
Record who can approve routine answers, sensitive claims and regulated topics. Also note working hours, travel and response-time limits.

Agencies should check whether multiple clients could respond to the same request and whether a publication or industry conflict exists. The selection process should be documented.
Keep experiences attributable

Review performance by source
