- Planning reference: CNY 200,000–1,000,000+ annually; new purposes, markets and trials are separate projects.
- Value beyond this task
- Transfer old/new-version evidence maps as the baseline for later iterations.
- How to assess value
- Measure version-claim coverage, reassessment rework and repeated literature-check time.
Check whether vigilance and PMCF are included; do not imply completion without scope and qualifications.

| What to assess | IQVIA / Cochrane Response | Evidence OS · Commissioned scope |
|---|---|---|
| Service focus | IQVIA and Cochrane Response both offer expert synthesis projects. | EOS scopes a specified module with interfaces, exclusion reasons, review and rerun requirements in the handover. |
| When to choose | Their services benchmark full projects, complex methods and extensive expert collaboration. | Example: one search/screening module, up to 5,000 records and 300 full-text screens; extraction and meta-analysis are separate. |
- What the fee pays for
- Planning reference: CNY 50,000–200,000 per package, based on volume, human review and interfaces.
- Value beyond this task
- Transfer screening logs, source indexes and reproducible records into the next stage.
- How to assess value
- Track contractor rework, acceptance rounds and handover hours saved; validate speed in real projects.
Verify subcontracting permission, end-client rights, confidentiality and actual staffing capacity.
CRO retained evidence capacityCompare alternatives and value
| What to assess | ICON | Evidence OS · Commissioned scope |
|---|---|---|
| Service focus | ICON offers specialist HEOR and evidence teams across projects. | EOS uses agreed retained hours for defined modules, tracking remaining capacity and added scope. |
| When to choose | Large multidisciplinary or global execution needs a sufficiently scaled team. | Example: 240 hours annually, with task estimates, scheduling and reviewers agreed first. |
- What the fee pays for
- Planning reference: from CNY 240,000 annually; agree quarterly hours, unused capacity, overruns and urgent work.
- Value beyond this task
- Retain templates and cross-batch baselines; reused work should not be billed again.
- How to assess value
- Assess hours used, scheduled delivery, reused materials and procurement coordination effort.
Check staffing, reserved schedules, cover and concurrency limits; this is not an unlimited project subscription.

| What to assess | Exponent | Evidence OS · Commissioned scope |
|---|---|---|
| Service focus | Exponent specialises in nutrition-claim substantiation, study planning and regulatory support. | EOS maps one finished version, dose, population and claim to locatable evidence and prioritised gaps. |
| When to choose | Choose qualified services for submissions, regulatory strategy and study execution. | A pilot may lock one finished version, up to three claims, one population and one use dose; source limits are agreed. |
- What the fee pays for
- Quoted by scope; separate claim review, protocol, analysis and updates from testing, recruitment and execution.
- Value beyond this task
- Reuse channel Q&A, source indexes and ingredient/product maps; assess formula changes incrementally.
- How to assess value
- Track unsupported claims revised/withdrawn, repeat-check hours avoided and next-study budgets; measure sales impact separately.
Verify finished-product, population and dose matching plus market review; no guaranteed positive findings or certification.
Mental, sleep and stress-support evidenceCompare alternatives and value
| What to assess | ORCHA / Exponent | Evidence OS · Commissioned scope |
|---|---|---|
| Service focus | ORCHA assesses digital quality/safety; Exponent offers claim study design and evaluation. | EOS separates experience, support outcomes and disease treatment for a fixed app/course version and use dose. |
| When to choose | Digital quality/safety assurance and product-effect evaluation are separate expert tasks. | A pilot may lock one version, one user group and up to three outcomes, with comparators, timing and adverse feedback specified. |
- What the fee pays for
- Quote source review, measurement design and expert review; licenses, recruitment, delivery and safety assurance are separate.
- Value beyond this task
- Reuse purchaser summaries, outcome plans and version maps for procurement review and future studies.
- How to assess value
- Measure resolved procurement questions, planned evaluation measures and reusable assets; do not promise effect percentages in advance.
Verify mental/sleep reviewers; method-level evidence does not establish product effects or crisis-service qualifications.
Wellbeing experience and consumer-product evidenceCompare alternatives and value
| What to assess | Exponent | Evidence OS · Commissioned scope |
|---|---|---|
| Service focus | Exponent combines UX testing, study design, data collection and claim evaluation. | EOS separates engineering, experience and health-outcome evidence and specifies measurable gaps for the current version. |
| When to choose | Choose teams explicitly offering laboratories, user testing and execution when those are required. | A pilot may lock one version, one use process and up to three claims; each gap maps to a test or evaluation task. |
- What the fee pays for
- Quoted by scope; evidence review and protocol first, with venue, device testing and execution budgets separate.
- Value beyond this task
- Reuse version identities, measures and consumer Q&A when sites or parameters change.
- How to assess value
- Track avoidable study spend, repeat preparation and claim rework; measure experience/health benefits in studies.
Check service/product boundaries, actual parameters and adverse experiences; no healing certification or predetermined ranking.
Agent-readable evidence and procurement comparisonCompare alternatives and value
| What to assess | OpenAI / Google Cloud | Evidence OS · Commissioned scope |
|---|---|---|
| Service focus | ACP supports discovery; AP2 establishes transaction authority, a different function. | EOS plans same-source human/machine dossiers with versions, claims, populations, endpoints, sources and unknowns for authorised comparison. |
| When to choose | Listing and payment integration follow platform requirements; integration is not effect validation. | Structure demo: one version, up to three claims, JSON validation, source links, rights and update triggers. |
- What the fee pays for
- Planned service quoted by scope; file delivery, maintenance and real API integration are separate projects.
- Value beyond this task
- Human summaries and JSON reuse sources; new channels do not need a separately invented medical claim set.
- How to assess value
- Measure readability, source parsing and manual-check time first; conversion and distribution require real integration.
No live integration, certification or automatic orders; validate recipient fields, source rights and human authorisation first.
