Get listed in The Special Agent

The Special Agent takes apart one live agent business every week for about 12,000 readers in fraud, security, payments, and building. A mention is listed, never sold. Nobody can buy a placement. Coverage needs: live, money moving, named builder, numbers that survive a fact check. If selected you get the full treatment; if not, you may still be listed as a peer build. Answer in plain words. Every number should be one you would print next to your name with a source link.
