IMPORTANT: We can’t accept/use AI-written responses, or responses you’ve already submitted elsewhere. Also, I’m not looking for surface-level information easily found online. These questions are meant more as a guide to get more nuanced, in-depth expertise from you :) Please share relevant common hypothetical scenarios or client experiences to back up answers.
Thanks!
