Contact (1D)

[rune]

In your design, does this provide the person with a contact, contacts in an area of expertise, or contacts across the board.

I believe that it is contacts in an area of expertise since you have the example areas (academic, business, criminal...).  I am fairly certain it is not 1 contact.  But it may be across the board (within logical reason). 

Thanks for insight!

The idea is that you have access to folks in an area of expertise. Whether that access comes in the form of 1 individual, 1 group, or a whole mess of folks is really narrative fluff that's up to you. But once you have the contact perk in one area of expertise, you have it covered. I should have made that clear in the text. (
