In this particular screen, the people who upload that information have some editorial flexibility in what can be written, length parameters notwithstanding.
Therefore, there is an opportunity to invite existing underwriters (or attract new ones) by making available some of this space to them, perhaps up to 30 characters.
Thanks, Wahyd! I salute your enterprising spirit. And thanks for the tip!
Not sure how much this space would generate in terms of underwriting money, but certainly in this climate, every potential revenue stream is worth exploring.
