- Time from outreach to pre-screen
- Source of patient data (EHR, claims, consumer, referral, etc.)
- How they handle privacy/consent
- Experience in your therapeutic area
- Geo-targeting capability
- Site-level vs sponsor-level support
- Diversity and inclusion reach
- Case studies with similar protocol complexity
