Independence by design.
From chemical risk assessments and food safety evaluations to reviews of emerging technologies, SciPinion applies the same certified peer review process to every scientific question. The result is a formal finding—backed by quantitative consensus metrics—that clients can submit to regulators, publish, or use to inform critical decisions.
We are not an advocacy firm. We don’t start with a preferred conclusion and work backward. Our expert panels evaluate the evidence as it stands, identify where the science is strong and where uncertainties remain, and deliver findings you can trust—because regulators will trust them too.
That independence is what makes our assessments defensible. And it’s why clients return to us for their most consequential submissions.
Weight of Evidence Framework
A structured methodology for rigorous, transparent scientific assessment. We don’t just consider the evidence—we show exactly how we weighed it.
Define Questions
Precise charge questions tailored to the regulatory context, vetted for neutrality and clarity
Convene Experts
Independent specialists selected through quantitative, model-driven criteria—not subjective judgment
Evaluate Evidence
Systematic review using structured frameworks under triple-blinded conditions to eliminate groupthink
Build Consensus
Modified Delphi process with anonymous debate rounds, allowing experts to refine positions based on peer reasoning
Deliver Findings
Conclusions built to withstand scrutiny, with quantitative consensus metrics and transparent uncertainty documentation
Findings That Withstand Challenge
Regulatory submissions are only as strong as the review behind them. Our process is designed to eliminate the methodological vulnerabilities that undermine traditional expert assessment.
The U.S. EPA has acknowledged that SciPinion’s peer review process meets or exceeds the EPA’s FIFRA Science Advisory Panel process in every point of comparison.
