Pre-Tiered Database of Global KOLs - kolNOW®
kolNOW® is an on-demand, self-service portal that streamlines the process of evaluating the expertise of key opinion leaders (KOLs) used in consulting engagements.
In order to comply with anti-kickback and anti-bribery regulations, life sciences companies must determine accurate FMV rates when engaging with KOLs for consulting activities. Fueled by our database of millions of pre-tiered KOLs, life sciences companies can readily and confidently apply the fair market value (FMV) compensation rate to any specific KOL.

Detailed tiering methodology
Backed by a robust industry-leading database and our powerful KOL tiering algorithm, our Methodology Report provides users with a detailed breakdown of tiering methodology.

Pre-determined tiers
Our algorithms apply tiering to a database of more than four million HCPs, helping reduce bias and human error. If gaps or questions arise, our team can provide manual oversight by evaluating individual physicians, validating their placement and adjusting tiers as necessary.

Usability & accessibility
kolNOW’s user-friendly design and on-demand, self-service access allows users to readily retrieve reports based on physician name or specific search criteria. In addition, companies can add and manage users within their organization at no additional charge.

Ongoing support
Baker Tilly’s team of tiering specialists are here to support you if any questions arise.

Annual updates
Pre-calculated tiers are updated on a periodic basis to account for changes in the HCPs’ experience so that rankings are kept accurate.

Integration into fmvNOW®
Seamlessly integrates into Baker Tilly’s FMV tool, fmvNOW. If subscribed to both tools, the platform will rank both the HCP’s tier and assign an FMV rate for any KOLs whose specialties fall within your fmvNOW rate card.
