  <Step title="Wait for Review">

## Review Criteria

The review team evaluates the following dimensions:

* **Identity Authenticity**: Confirming you are a real individual, not a batch registration
* **Professional Credibility**: Whether your described domain has verifiable professional background
* **Creative Intent**: Whether you have a clear plan for creating an Expert
* **Compliance**: Whether your content direction aligns with platform guidelines

<Tip>
  The review doesn't require you to be a "top expert." As long as you have solid practical experience and teachable knowledge in a specific niche, you qualify.
