Consent and answering
What you confirm before submitting, and how answering works.
How it works
Everything you agree to is shown on the invite page itself, before you write a word. You answer the questions in writing, in your own words and your own time — there is no call to schedule unless a later engagement proposes one and you accept it.
Before you can submit, you confirm — by checking each statement — that:
- your answers draw only on your own experience and public or industry knowledge, not material non-public information;
- nothing you share is covered by a confidentiality, non-disclosure, or departure agreement;
- you have no undisclosed conflict of interest in the engagement.
These aren't fine print — they're the substance. Sondara's value to the firms asking is that answers are clean; your protection is that you're never asked for anything else. A reminder of these rules sits above the questions on every invite.
What you do
- Read each question and answer in the text box beneath it, in your own words. Length is yours to judge — substance beats polish.
- Name your price in the Your price for this response (USD) field.
- Check each confirmation statement.
- Click Submit answers. The requesting team reviews them; you'll hear about next steps and payment.
Good to know
- You never see or need the firm's research thesis — and they never see anything of yours beyond the answers you submit.
- If a question edges into something you can't share, answer what you can and say what you're leaving out and why. A partial, clean answer is valuable; an overstepping one helps no one.
- Your agreement is with Sondara, under the Expert Terms and Privacy Policy.
