I'm not sure I follow regarding brand and reason. Brand is surely an individual thing for each organisation, as for reason, that surely requires greater emphasis from curators and perhaps bodies like the IfA. Do other similar professions have to justify themselves to the degree archaeologists do? Curators or those in a similar position could certainly help by providing greater information to developers - I must have about 1 in 10 ringing up in a state of bafflement, confusion and often outright contempt over the way they have been informed about the archaeological requirement. At the end of the day it's not my job to explain to them and I'm not even sure what to say in some cases - this isn't quite on topic I suppose!
