Expose Quality, Close Observation: Specific triggers?

[John Robinson]

Can you describe specific events that trigger Wisdom tests performed for Expose Quality, and Close Observation talents?

When running multi-step missions.  You get paid per step by the contact that gave you the mission.
Are these two talents being tested every time, "where money changes hands" ,when you  complete a step?
My Captain has a Wisdom = 30%  (Asking because I've not seen it happen)

Lvl(3)	Expose Quality	Dip1	Empathetic sense grants Wisdom % to reveal a Contact's hidden Traits during any interaction where money changes hands
Lvl(5)	Close Observation	Spy1	Sharp scrutiny grants Wisdom % to reveal a Contact's hidden Traits during any interaction where money changes hands

My current team is centered around learning contact and crew traits.  I took 2 talents very early.
Expose Quality level(3), and Close Observation at level(5). 
Also took Perceptive boss for crew discovery, when payed, Command based.

My Captain is now level(11), I've run allot of missions for 2 contacts with hidden traits.
Neither talent has fired at completion of a mission, when my payment is collected. 

I have had a success one time.This occurred when purchasing 2 trade permits, 6 military ranks,
and 2 contacts all at the same time, from Calagen Faen. 

It seems like the success rate is a little low?  It took ten sequential attempts in a row with wisdom 30%, not including
previous completed missions to get one successful trait discovery for this one contact.

An officer's portrait popped up "Captain I'm convinced Calagen Faen is a negotiator"
That's a really cool way to help me not miss it.

Looking at the event box, sure enough there is an entry displayed reading:
"Learned that Calagen Faen has Negotiator trait" Diplomat talent Expose quality.

John Robinson - the interactions are ONLY local ones you do with the Contact. Accepting a mission, buying gear, purchasing rank, selling Intel. When you are out in the field completing missions, these Talents do not fire.

Thanks fallen really appreciate the help. This is going to be a fun team, exploring the importance of
trait discovery.

We're working on getting more of the beneficial Trait effects tucked behind knowing them. That will make this even more exciting
