Compliance
Compliance built into sourcing, not bolted on after.
Every brief moves through the same three stages. Nothing is rushed past the screening step, even under a tight deadline, so by the time you speak to an expert, the vetting is already behind you.
Brief intake
A researcher reads every brief in full and clarifies scope directly with the client before sourcing begins.
Sourcing & screening
Candidates are identified from our network and outside it, then screened against conflicts of interest, employer restrictions and prior engagement history.
Engagement
Terms, duration and compensation are agreed before contact. Conversations proceed on the record, within those terms.
Compliance standards
Material non-public information
Experts are briefed on MNPI boundaries before every engagement and confirm they will not discuss information covered by an existing confidentiality obligation.
Conflict checks
Every expert is checked against the client's declared conflicts, competitors and prior relationships before an introduction is offered.
Documented consent
Experts opt in to each engagement individually. Compensation, scope and duration are confirmed in writing beforehand.
Employer restrictions
We ask experts to confirm their current employer permits outside consulting, and to flag any internal policy that would restrict a topic.
