*professional agent* (PA)

- Other mechanisms (restraint opportunists through dependence on mutual efforts,
obligations, additional control mechanisms):
--> *Self-Control (Altruism)*: consultant is self-motivated to work
--> *Community Control*: consultant is working with a group of experts, can
potentially be criticised by community
