How the writing works
- Every article names a person. Not “admin”, not “the team”. The name at the top of an article is the person who wrote it, with the job they actually do.
- Articles by the consulting team are reviewed before they publish. Waqas Yousaf reads them first, and the review is stated on the article rather than implied.
- Both dates are shown, always. Published and last updated. ERP software changes every year; you should be able to see how old the advice is without guessing.
Looking for the company rather than the bylines? That is About Index World — the wider team, the story, and where in the world we work from.
