Assignments, Acceptance and Scope of Projects

An Expert will be contacted by phone, sms or e-mail whenever Insight Alpha believes that there is a potential match between a Client’s research interests and the Expert’s profile. Insight Alpha will conduct a brief screening call with the Expert about the Assignment prior to determining whether the Expert will be recommended to the Client. This screening call is not counted as part of a paid Project. After the screening calls with Experts, Insight Alpha will send the names of the most relevant Experts to the Client, after which the Expert will be notified about the Client’s interest in speaking with him or her.

Experts who are requested to participate in an Assignment should accept or decline within 48 hours. One-on-one Project consultations should be scheduled at a mutually convenient time with the Client within five business days. All Projects you provide should be performed in a prompt, focused, and professional manner.

All Consultations between Experts and Client must be coordinated through Insight Alpha. If a Client contacts you directly, please inform Insight Alpha immediately and we will confirm the Project for you and the Client. We may indicate that you can schedule the Project time independently with the Client, as long as Insight Alpha is aware of the activity and it is logged in the Extranet.

Please note that Experts are paid only for the time that they speak with the Client. Only if the Client explicitly requests the Expert (via Insight Alpha) to spend a certain amount of time on research or preparation or any other work outside the scope of the Assignment, and that approval is documented in an email, then Insight Alpha will reimburse the Expert for that time.

You have no minimum time commitment to Insight Alpha unless otherwise agreed to, and may engage in any employment or other consulting you wish.
