DiligentQualified™ Accelerator Tier

One qualification audit. Released to any client.

Qualification is redundant. Host a qualification audit by an independent auditor and release the comprehensive report to any client, replacing countless audits with a streamlined approach.

Hosting qualification audits is an overlooked and resource intensive activity for vendors, and none of it is billable. Each one pulls senior QA and SMEs away from revenue- work for days, and the burden grows with every new client signed. Audit hosting capacity becomes a ceiling on commercial growth.

What the Accelerator Tier Delivers

One audit. Full coverage. Released to any client.

An independent auditor conducts a single, in-depth qualification audit aligned to ICH E6(R3) and global GxP expectations. The resulting report can be released to any current or prospective client — replacing the audits they would otherwise conduct themselves.

Independent Third-Party Qualification

Independent Third-Party Qualification

Auditor-led assessment of your business conducted by an independent auditor and aligned to ICH E6(R3) and global GxP expectations. Diligent remains 100% independent throughout.

In-Depth Coverage of Services & Regulations

One audit spans the entire scope of your services mapped to current regulatory expectations globally — giving clients the depth and rigor they would conduct themselves.

Released to Any Client — At No Cost

You approve release of each report to any current or prospective client. Clients pay nothing to access it.

Dedicated SME Support

Diligent SMEs meet directly with each client to walk through the audit methodology, demonstrate independence, and answer questions to make adoption frictionless on both sides.

How Clients request a qualification package

From client request to report — in days, not months.

Benefits

Why vendors join the Accelerator Tier.

Quality & Compliance Benefits

Reclaim QA & SME Capacity

Every client audit pulls senior QA and SME talent away from the work that actually moves your business forward — supporting study delivery and driving outcomes.

Protect Growth from Audit Drag

Without DiligentQualified™, every new sponsor or CRO client brings a new audit. Hosting capacity becomes the ceiling on how much business you can take on. One DiligentQualified™ audit report replaces many.

Consistent, Independent Compliance Posture

An independent audit report demonstrates your quality and compliance rigor consistently and objectively.

Commercial Benefits

Faster Sales Cycles & Project Starts

Prospects qualify your business in days, not months. Contracts execute sooner, project start dates move forward by weeks, and revenue accelerates across the portfolio.

Lower Cost-to-Buy for Sponsors & CROs

Prospects avoid the cost of conducting their own audit. Your business becomes an easier, lower-cost choice at RFP — strengthening competitive position with new and renewing clients.

Scale Revenue Without Scaling QA Headcount

Reclaimed QA and SME capacity absorbs new client onboarding. Grow revenue without proportionally growing the team.
