How it works

Three steps from application to earning

01

Apply & get verified

Tell us your background — GPO affiliations, years of experience, categories you know best. We review and approve typically within one business day.

02

Answer targeted questions

Our AI identifies gaps in our intelligence database and surfaces the most relevant questions for your background. Answer on your own schedule.

03

Earn deep research credit

Every approved answer earns deep research credit — dollars applied to your account for deep research on the database you're helping build. We also track each time your answer is cited. We intend to launch a per-citation royalty program; it would be governed by additional terms published before it is activated.

Who qualifies

We're looking for people with real, first-hand experience in the GPO ecosystem — not general healthcare knowledge.

  • Former GPO executives and category managers
  • Current GPO executives and category managers
  • Supply chain leaders at health systems and IDNs
  • Sales and national account reps at manufacturers and distributors
  • Healthcare procurement consultants
  • Former GPO field team members
  • Clinical value analysis professionals

Currently employed in the industry? You still qualify — our matching system never asks you questions about your own current employer, so you're never put in a position to discuss confidential or competitively sensitive information.

Sample question

"Roughly how far ahead of a contract's expiration does a national GPO usually kick off the re-bid for a major category?"

What great answers earn

Each approved answer earns deep research credit — dollars that extend your own research access. Every citation your answer earns is logged on your contributor record.

Common questions

What do I earn today?

Every approved answer earns deep research credits — dollars of research balance that extend your own GPO Intel access, so your expertise pays for the tool you use. We also log every citation your answers generate. We intend to launch a per-citation royalty program; if we do, it will be governed by additional terms published before that program is activated — nothing accrues under it today.

How is this different from expert network calls?

Traditional expert networks book you for a one-time hourly call, then you're done. GPO Intel is asynchronous and compounding: you answer short questions from memory on your own schedule, each answer keeps working inside the platform, and every citation it earns is logged on your contributor record. No scheduling, no prep, no calls.

What kind of questions will I answer?

Short questions an insider can answer from memory: how contracting and re-bid timelines really work, what drives a member to switch, category dynamics, org and process realities. Observed patterns and experience — never anything under NDA, and never "what is a GPO."

Is there any NDA or compliance risk?

You should only share information that is not proprietary or subject to an NDA. We review all answers before publishing. If you're unsure, err on the side of "industry knowledge" rather than confidential specifics.

How does the reward work?

Approved answers earn deep research credit automatically — $10 of research balance added to your account per earned milestone. Your citations show on your contributor dashboard. Today's compensation is deep research credit; any future per-citation royalty program will be governed by additional terms published before that program is activated.

What does "approved" mean?

Approval means your submission passed our screening review — the check that a contribution contains nothing confidential and nothing unlawful before it enters the corpus. It is not an editorial grade on your answer.

Expert contributors receive research credit for approved answers. Contribution does not affect coverage.
