The directory says one thing, the work says another
A job title says what someone was hired to do, a skills profile says what they typed during onboarding.
Both self-reported, both stale by the next reorg.

Questions about expertise mapping
Where does expertise come from?
From saved answers. A profile shows the topics where colleagues have liked what the person contributed, with a badge for each.
Do people have to fill in a skills profile?
No. The Expertise section fills in automatically from the likes colleagues give.
What do the badge colors mean?
The color shows how many likes a person has earned on a topic. Grey is 1 to 4 likes, blue 5 to 9, green 10 to 19, and gold 20 or more.
Who can see a saved entry?
Each entry is associated with a department and is visible to the people subscribed to that department. People can subscribe to as many departments as they choose.
