Write submission instructions that reduce rework

Contributors need to know what qualifies before they start a form.

Evidence requests should support the facts you publish.

A review queue needs a repeatable order so difficult items do not disappear.

A correction request should tell the contributor what is missing and why it matters.

A rejection should refer to the directory's stated scope or requirements.

A revised submission should preserve the earlier issue and show what changed.

Editors can apply the same written policy differently.

A paid submission still needs to meet the directory's published requirements.

An update request may affect identity, contact details, or the service description.

Removal requests need a clear owner and record of the action taken.

Review notes should capture evidence and unresolved questions.

Irrelevant submissions should be separated from incomplete but plausible contributions.

A review estimate should reflect team capacity and the type of submission.
