The Expert Engagement Gap

If you've consulted in MedTech or Pharma, you already know the shape of the problem. Every new client repeats the same cycle:

  • 3–6 months of vendor qualification, supplier questionnaires, and management sign-off before the first piece of work.
  • NDAs, DPAs, and confidentiality agreements negotiated bilaterally for each engagement.
  • QMS onboarding and company-specific training, often duplicated across overlapping standards you already know cold.
  • Document exchange via email, ad-hoc shared drives, or whatever tool the client happens to use — with no audit trail, no version control, and unclear retention.

The result: significant unbillable time per client, unpredictable pipeline, and administrative overhead that scales worse than the work itself. PraxisVerify is built to fix the engagement layer so you can do the work you're qualified for.

What You Get

  • Defined scope — assignments are document annotation and review through the platform. Broader consulting, drafting, and QA/RA work continue through your own practice.
  • One credentialing process — verified once against issuing bodies (IRCA, RAPS, CQI and equivalents), then available for matching across every client on the platform. Client-specific QMS training runs automatically per assignment, before you access any documents — no per-client onboarding cycle.
  • A secure, audit-ready environment built for the work — in-browser document review, no downloads, every action logged with timestamps, designed to support 21 CFR Part 11 electronic records requirements.
  • Demand brought to you — matched to assignments that fit your declared specialisms. No cold outreach, no proposal-writing, no procurement portals.
  • Predictable, complexity-based rates — the platform calculates a project rate per assignment based on document type and scope, with additional fees for expedited turnaround, re-reviews, and signatures. No haggling per engagement.
  • No exclusivity, no minimum commitment — continue your own practice, accept PraxisVerify assignments as they suit your schedule.

How It Works for Experts

From application to first paid assignment:

  1. 1
    Apply

    Tell us your credentials, specialisms, and PI insurance details.

  2. 2
    Credential

    One-time platform credentialing, NDA, and orientation. Done once, not per client.

  3. 3
    Get matched

    Per-assignment match. Client-specific QMS training runs automatically through the platform before you access any documents.

  4. 4
    Review & get paid

    In-browser annotation and structured review comments, payment per assignment. Formal sign-off available as add-on.

Who We're Looking For

Competency-gated, not years-of-experience-gated. What matters is that you can demonstrate the credential and the practice. Specialisms in demand at launch:

  • ISO 13485 lead auditor qualifications
  • Internal audit programmes across QMS standards (ISO 13485, FDA QSR / QMSR, ISO 14971, ISO 14155)
  • EU MDR / IVDR regulatory affairs
  • FDA submissions (510(k), PMA, De Novo)
  • FDA Additional Information (AI) response preparation
  • Notified Body deficiency / review-question response preparation (MDR, IVDR)
  • 21 CFR Part 11 / computer systems validation
  • Design controls, Design History Files, and technical documentation
  • Clinical investigation plans and study protocols
  • Clinical evaluation plans and reports (CEP / CER)
  • IVD performance evaluation plans and reports (PEP / PER)
  • Post-market surveillance, vigilance, PMCF / PMPF
  • MDSAP audit experience
  • SaMD and AI/ML regulatory
  • Standalone disciplines applicable across all jurisdictions: biostatistics, biocompatibility, sterility, human factors / usability engineering

Adjacent or emerging specialisms not on this list? Apply anyway and tell us — the demand mix evolves with the client base.

Rates & Terms

Project rate per assignment. The platform calculates the rate based on the complexity of the work — document type, scope, depth of review required. Additional fees apply for:

  • Expedited turnaround
  • Re-reviews following client revisions
  • Formal signatures and sign-off statements

No exclusivity. You continue to run your own practice. PraxisVerify covers only the assignments that flow through the platform.

No minimum commitment. Fully on-demand. Stay in the active network as long as your credentials remain current.

Insurance & Liability

PraxisVerify carries platform-level professional indemnity cover. Each expert is also required to hold their own professional indemnity insurance — proof of cover is part of credentialing. This dual-cover model is intentional: it protects you, the client, and the platform, and reflects how regulated-industry consulting works in practice.

Conflict of Interest

PraxisVerify assignments are document annotation and review only (with optional sign-off as an add-on). That narrow scope means the broader consulting, drafting, training, or QA/RA work you may do directly with the same client through your own practice is generally not in conflict — the platform engagement is bounded.

Within that scope, apply your professional judgement. If you wouldn't take an annotation or review engagement on in your own practice — competitor relationships, recent direct involvement with the document or its authors, anything that would compromise independence — flag it with us before accepting and we will reassign. We treat conflict declarations as a strength, not a problem.

Vetting Process

This is a selective network, not a gig marketplace. The full process:

  1. Apply — submit credentials, specialisms, references, and proof of PI insurance.
  2. Credential verification — we verify against the issuing bodies (IRCA, RAPS, CQI, NB alumni networks, and equivalents).
  3. Platform onboarding — platform NDA, data-handling orientation, in-browser review training. (Client-specific QMS training is automatic per assignment, before document access — not a separate step here.)
  4. First match — you appear in the active matching pool for assignments fitting your specialisms.

FAQ

Is there a minimum number of assignments per month?
No. There is no floor. You stay in the active network as long as your credentials are current.
How quickly will I be matched after credentialing?
Match velocity depends on demand for your declared specialisms. We're transparent about pipeline depth at credentialing — if your specialism is currently low-demand, you'll know.
What happens if a client disputes my assessment?
Your annotations, review comments, and any add-on sign-off are preserved in the audit trail. Disputes are handled through a documented review process; you retain the right to defend your professional opinion. Regulatory submissions remain the sponsor's responsibility — your role is qualified independent verification, not authorship.
Can I see what an assignment looks like before accepting?
Yes. You see scope, document type, estimated effort, calculated rate, and any add-on fee triggers before you accept. You can decline without penalty — and you should, if your expertise isn't a clean fit for the assignment. We'd rather reassign than have a marginal match.
Where can experts be based at launch?
Ireland on day one. Geographic expansion will follow client demand in other jurisdictions.
What about IP and confidentiality?
Document IP remains the client's. Your assessment work product is governed by the platform NDA. No client documents leave the secure environment, and all are auto-deleted after 90 days.
