Compliance Expectations
What every expert agrees to
Every expert in the SAGA Connect+ network agrees to the same compliance standard: clear conflict-of-interest disclosure before any engagement, no sharing of confidential or non-public information tied to a current or former employer, and adherence to the scope agreed for each specific project. These expectations are set during onboarding and apply to every engagement, not just the ones that feel sensitive.
