How do I know if the activity is or isn’t related to the business lines of an ineligible company?

Standard 3 states that an activity is considered to be related to the business lines of an ineligible company when the content provides “any opportunity for the individual to insert commercial bias towards the products of the company”.  They advise erring on the caution when determining relevance, since the protection of the learners should be prioritized over the inclusion of faculty members.
