Advisory & Consulting

A clinician at the table when care decisions get made

Most care companies have engineers, operators, and marketers in the room — and no one whose license is on the line. That gap shows up in the product.

Where advisory work fits

Care products make clinical claims whether or not anyone intends them to. A matching algorithm implies a standard of fit. An assessment implies a standard of care. A content library implies clinical authority. When no clinician has reviewed those decisions, the risk sits quietly in the product until something goes wrong.

A retained clinical advisor closes that gap: reviewing assessment logic, matching criteria, escalation paths, care content, and the language you put in front of families.

What a retainer typically covers

How engagements run

Most begin with a defined review — one product surface, one assessment, one content set — rather than an open-ended retainer. That gives both sides a real look at fit before committing to something ongoing.

From there, advisory typically runs as a monthly retainer with a set number of hours, standing availability, and named-advisor rights if that's useful to you.

The books behind the method

Tammy wrote Secrets of the Nanny Whisperer (Penguin) and the Care Map Method™ book series, a structured framework for family care from infancy through the teen years and into eldercare. The same framework is what organizations license, teach, and build programs on.
