FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can we bring our own KOLs?

Yes. Nominated experts register on the platform, are verified like everyone else and are compensated from the same fair market value model. This keeps all advisors on one documented basis.

How is compensation justified?

Every rate is derived from qualification, experience, responsibility and country of residence, and the derivation is stored per advisor and per engagement. Your compliance team receives it with the documentation export.

Who handles travel?

TechNurse. Flights are booked at cost within the approved cap, travel time follows published rules, and travel management covers policy, coordination and expense handling for flying advisors.

Can the board become a standing group?

Yes. With network management the advisors stay in your own network on the platform, with profiles, engagement history and contracts in one place for the next board.
