Pay by card or PayPal.
The $450 Scientific Advisory Call can be paid immediately. For written reviews and workshops, payment should be made after the fixed scope and fee have been confirmed.
Frequently asked questions.
Answers about confidentiality, pricing, fit, independence, and focused reviews.
Can you sign a confidentiality agreement?
Yes. I am happy to sign a reasonable confidentiality or nondisclosure agreement before reviewing sensitive materials.
Can we start with a call?
Yes. A Scientific Advisory Call is $450 USD and includes a 60-minute discussion, limited advance review, and a brief written summary. The fee is credited toward a written review started within 7 days.
What does a written review cost?
A Focused Claim Review starts at $1,250 USD, an Executive Scientific Review starts at $2,500 USD, and Full Scientific Diligence starts at $5,000 USD. The exact fixed fee is confirmed after the materials and deadline are reviewed.
Do you work with non-scientists?
Yes. Deliverables are designed to be technically defensible while remaining usable by executives, investors, founders, advisors, and other non-specialist stakeholders.
Can you provide a positive endorsement?
No conclusion is guaranteed in advance. The engagement is an independent review, and the written findings reflect the evidence as assessed.
Can you review a single paper or claim?
Yes. A tightly defined question may be appropriate for a Focused Claim Review rather than a larger diligence engagement.
