Rapid Evidence Review
One claim, independently graded.
What it is
An independent dual review of a single claim or question against the published Evidence Standard.
The Evidence Standard is not yet adopted.
Until a version is published, reviews set out the evidence, its sources and its limits, but no formal grade is issued. Read the draft standard.

How it works
Enquiry
Tell us the decision and the claim it depends on. We screen every enquiry for conflicts of interest before accepting it.
Scope and fee in writing
We confirm exactly which claim is reviewed, the fee and the timing before any work begins.
Independent review
Two reviewers assess the evidence independently under the Evidence Standard and test whether it transfers to your context.
Signed result
You receive the written result, signed off by a named person, with its rationale, limits and what would change it.
Independence
Fees are fixed before work begins
The scope and fee are agreed in writing before any review starts, and do not depend on the conclusion.
Payment never affects a grade
Grades are issued under the published Evidence Standard by reviewers who assess independently. A client's payment, status or preference has no bearing on them.
Clients can report errors, not change judgements
A client may point out a factual error, a misread source or new evidence, and we will check it. A client cannot alter, suppress or negotiate a judgement.
Conflicts are screened before acceptance
Every enquiry is screened for conflicts of interest before an engagement is accepted. A reviewer with a declared conflict cannot approve the grade.
