# About and contact paths are linked

How the About and contact paths are linked check works, what a failure means, and how to fix it in the Trust & Authority dimension.

- Dimension: Trust & Authority (10% of the total score)
- This check: 3 points
- Check id: `about-contact`

## What does this check look at?

Hrefs on the page include both an about-style path (about, company, team, who-we-are) and a contact-style path (contact, support) or a mailto: link.

## How do I fix it?

- **partial** — Models weigh who is responsible for a claim. Link both.
- Link an about page and a contact route so the publisher is identifiable.

## Why is it worth 3 points?

Weighted equally with answer readiness: attribution is what separates a quote from a rumour.
