Project-Based Expert Network

Defensible Verification Consulting Experts

TKOResearch engages senior practitioners—PhD, MD, PE, or equivalent—for scoped consulting engagements. You remain independent while advising on litigation-grade, executive assurance cases.

Senior Practitioners Only

Recognized experts with advanced degrees (PhD, MD, PE) or equivalent standing. This is scoped consulting work—no full-time employment, no exclusivity.

High-Assurance Casework

Engage on litigation-grade projects requiring defensible methodologies, chain of custody, and testimony across forensics, metallurgy, toxicology, hardware, and cyber domains.

Case-by-Case Basis

Engagements are scoped per project with defined deliverables and compensation. Maintain independence while providing decisive, domain-specific advisory.

Engagement Model

Assurance-first. Evidence-defensible.

We match experts to executive assurance and evidence integrity audits. Every engagement is governed by scope, chain-of-custody, and reporting standards that hold up to regulatory and courtroom scrutiny.

1) Scope & Fit

We share a sanitized brief; you confirm conflicts and availability. No long-term employment commitments.

2) Statement of Work

Clear deliverables: defensible findings, affidavits, or testimony aligned to the assurance objective.

3) Execution

TKO manages logistics, evidence handling, and reporting templates so you can focus on expert judgment.

4) Independence Preserved

You remain an independent consultant. No non-compete; we engage only for the defined matter.
