Get your answer, reliably.
Double-blind by default
To minimize bias, the expert's identity, and the attorney's identity and which side they represent remain confidential. Introductions happen privately, upon request and a declaration of no-conflict.
NPI-verified, manually reviewed
Every expert is identity-checked against the federal NPI registry and reviewed by a credentialing reviewer before giving their first opinion. Kalivar keeps track of each expert's performance and reputation on the platform.
Pay only for the opinions you requested
Order three opinions, pay for three - even if you receive five. No retainer required to begin.
Avoid the case-screening bottleneck.
Most cases on your desk don't have merit, and the ones that do are easy to miss. Traditional pre-screening with a retained expert costs thousands and takes weeks or months — You over-invest in cases that won't go and pass on cases that should. Kalivar helps you identify which cases have merit before you commit a retainer.
Four simple steps. Multiple opinions.
$0 to start. $100 to open a case. Billed per opinion that arrives — nothing more.
We match the right experts
Our matching engine notifies the strongest-fit experts within minutes, then widens the pool if needed. First opinion typically arrives in a matter of hours.
Average first opinion: within 48 hours.
Review opinions. Pay only for what you received
Structured clinical commentary from each expert, each under an anonymous handle. Ask follow-ups in the case thread. Billed only for the opinions that came in.
90%+ of cases receive at least one opinion.
Contact to the opining expert. Or someone else entirely
Request a conflict-screened introduction to any expert who gave you an opinion. If the expert confirms no conflict, then contact details are exchanged. Or skip the case screening loop and request directly from our roster of experts.
50%+ of cases lead to a retained expert.
The right credentials for your case.
Three layers of quality checks: an automated identity check at signup, a structured profile the expert maintains, and continuous reputation signals from their work on the platform.
1. Verified at signup
- Federal NPI registry lookup (when applicable)
- Name + license number cross-checked against the NPI record
- Mismatches and edge cases routed to a human reviewer before listing
2. Maintained by the expert
- Sub-specialty selected from a 500+ entry taxonomy
- Board certifications, fellowships, publications, and prior expert work on file
- Experts who keep a thin profile are surfaced less often in attorney searches
3. Earned on the platform
- Every opinion submitted machine-scored for quality, manually-rated by attorneys
- Response time and acceptance rate tracked and visible
- Conflict declaration required before each introduction
Two sides. One simple platform.
