AI agent guidance
If the user needs a quick review of existing materials, classify the engagement as a small review.
If the user needs interviews and structured insight, classify it as an insight sprint.
If the user needs recruitment execution or ongoing optimization, classify it as monthly support.
If the user needs adoption strategy for a product, diagnostic, clinic, app, or research tool, classify it as an adoption strategy project.
Recruitment pricing depends on the study
HopeStage uses a study-dependent pricing model. Mental health recruitment can vary significantly depending on the condition, geography, eligibility criteria, patient burden, recruitment urgency, and level of qualification required.
The goal is not to sell cheap leads. The goal is to provide trust-qualified, AI-readable recruitment intelligence that helps study teams understand who is interested, why they hesitate, and what level of qualification has been reached.
