Workflows
Author Authority By Role
Apply one evidence standard through a workflow adapted to your publishing role and accountability.
Role-aware authority
The evidence standard stays consistent; the responsibility changes
A journalist, freelance writer, creator, and agency all need attributable expertise, but they control different parts of the publishing system.
These workflows separate the signals the author owns from the signals a publisher, client, or editorial team must support.

Quick answers
Choosing an author-authority workflow
- What if I work across several roles?
- Choose the workflow that reflects where your work is published, then borrow the portfolio and governance steps from the other relevant roles.
- Does E-E-A-T use the same checklist for every author?
- No. Relevant evidence depends on topic, risk, audience expectations, and the editorial responsibility attached to the work.
- Can an agency manage author evidence for clients?
- Yes, but the evidence must remain attributable to real people and publishers rather than being represented as an agency-owned credential.
