Expand each group as you collect or review evidence.

  • Prioritize people with first-hand knowledge of specific work, impact, judging, research, implementation, or field recognition.
  • Separate independent experts from close collaborators so counsel can weigh each letter's role.
  • Record the writer's title, institution, field relevance, and relationship to the applicant.
