Purpose
Why an advisory board.
Standards written entirely inside one organization tend to reflect that organization's blind spots. An advisory board is intended to bring in perspective the internal team does not have, and to pressure-test proposed changes before they take effect.
- Provide outside review of proposed standards changes before publication
- Represent perspectives from clinical practice, regulatory compliance, and platform operations
- Surface gaps in the standards that internal teams may not see
- Add credibility to the review process without taking over decision authority

Advisory board members are not employees of ScriptClear and are not compensated based on certification outcomes or sales performance.
- 1
Disclosure
Prospective members disclose relevant financial and professional relationships before appointment.
- 2
Conflict review
Disclosed relationships are assessed against the conflicts-of-interest policy before an appointment is finalized.
- 3
Recusal
A member with a conflict on a specific matter is recused from discussion of that matter.
- 4
Ongoing disclosure
Members are expected to update disclosures as their professional relationships change.
Conflicts management
Governed by the same policy as reviewers.
Advisory board members are held to the standards described in our published conflicts-of-interest policy, which also governs reviewers and governance roles.
Review cadence
How often the board is expected to convene.
The board is intended to meet on a regular cadence to review proposed standards changes, plus on an ad hoc basis when a material or time-sensitive question arises.
- Scheduled review of proposed standards changes ahead of each published version
- Ad hoc consultation on emerging regulatory or industry developments
- An annual review of the board's own composition and disclosed conflicts
Role in standards development
What the board influences, and what it does not.
The board is advisory. It reviews and comments on proposed standards changes; it does not vote on individual certification decisions and does not manage day-to-day review operations.
- The board does not decide individual certification, appeal or complaint outcomes
- The board does not have operational authority over reviewers or the review queue
- The board does not set commercial pricing or sales strategy
- Final authority over the published standards rests with the governance structure described at /standards/governance
FAQ
Questions we hear often
- Who is on the advisory board today?
- Advisory appointments will be published after formal acceptance and conflict review. No names are published in advance of that process.
- Is the advisory board paid based on certification results?
- No. Compensation, where applicable, is not tied to certification outcomes or sales performance.
- Can the board overturn a certification decision?
- No. The board's role is advisory to the standards, not authority over individual decisions. Appeals follow the process at /certification/appeals.
