The research desk
MBT publishes from a small research desk. Editors carry named bylines; the publishing entity (MBT Editorial LLC) is the institutional byline. The desk does not maintain individual contributor profile pages, third-party social-handle attribution, or external contributor biographies — the work is the credential.
