1 Define the work
We document the problem, decision owner, deliverables, required inputs, exclusions, timeline, review rounds, and success measures.
How engagements work
Know the work, responsibilities, cost, and review path before the project starts.
The process is designed to prevent unplanned work, protect both parties, and make every step from proposal to final deliverable easy to understand.
2 Approve the proposal
The client signs the services agreement and project-specific statement of work. A 50% deposit reserves the project unless the proposal states otherwise.
3 Transfer approved data
Only the minimum necessary, deidentified information is accepted through an approved method. Protected health information is not accepted unless a separate written arrangement and required safeguards are in place.
4 Review and deliver
AssayIQ completes the agreed work, documents limitations, and sends draft materials for qualified client review and approval.
Standard commercial framework
What the agreement covers
Each engagement uses a master consulting agreement plus a project-specific statement of work. The signed documents, not this webpage, control the engagement.
- Parties, effective date, term, and termination
- Detailed scope, client responsibilities, and changes to the work
- Fees, deposit, invoicing, expenses, late payment, and taxes
- Ownership of client materials, AssayIQ tools, and custom deliverables
- Confidentiality, permitted use, data return or destruction
- Independent contractor status and non-exclusivity
- Professional standards, disclaimers, and approval responsibility
- Indemnity, limitation of liability, insurance, governing law, and dispute terms
- Security expectations and a separate Business Associate Agreement when legally required
