SOURCE POLICY

If the Agent does research, the Source Policy should be written separately.

For example:

SOURCE PRIORITY:

1. Official sources.
2. Original documents.
3. Industry data sources.
4. Reputable press.
5. Other secondary sources.

You can add:

SOURCE RULE:

• Do not use a roundup article in place of the original document if the original is available.
• Important data must cite its source.
• Two conflicting sources must be pointed out, not resolved by picking one without explanation.
