    {
      "question": "Why are some reviewer slots listed as TODO?",
      "answer": "Because we would rather publish the roster with empty slots than fabricate reviewer entries. When an article on a topic in an empty slot is ready to publish, it is either held until we recruit a reviewer with verifiable credentials, co-signed by the editor-in-chief plus a named external reviewer (whose credential is cited in the article's sources block), or shipped under the institutional Editorial Board byline until a permanent reviewer is in place."
    },
    {
      "question": "How do I apply to the review board?",
      "answer": "Send a CV, a link to at least one public professional profile, and a one-paragraph note on your specialty area to editors@proudtek.com. We respond within 2 weeks, either with a trial brief or with a note explaining why we cannot onboard at this time."
    },
    {
      "question": "Can I challenge a reviewer's credentials?",
      "answer": "Yes. Send the URL of the reviewer's profile and the specific credential you believe is incorrect to editors@proudtek.com. We treat challenges to a reviewer's credentials with the same process as factual corrections. We acknowledge within 2 business days and either update the entry or publish a justification within 5 business days."
    },
    {
      "question": "Is external paid reviewing influenced by sales?",
      "answer": "No. Reviewers are paid per review assignment at a fixed rate that does not depend on the article's conclusion, the product it recommends, or subsequent sales. The contract explicitly names the editor-in-chief as the single point of editorial escalation; no sales team member can direct a reviewer's conclusion."
