What it measures

Four numbers. The full picture.

Gross opportunity

The annualised value of the outcomes you selected, priced at rates we see experienced physicians command in their market.

Cost of the work

Twelve months of the monthly investment you set. Shown in red because it is subtracted from the gross figure.

Net gain

Gross opportunity minus the cost of the work. The honest number, before tax and before any clinical income you already earn.

Return

Gross opportunity divided by cost. Anything under one times means the volume you set does not yet justify the spend.

Where the value comes from

The four ways expertise gets paid.

Advisory retainers

$2k to $6k per month

HealthTech and pharma advisory seats for clinicians with a visible point of view. Usually two to four hours a month, billed as a monthly retainer.

Board seats

$20k to $45k per year

Non-executive and clinical advisory boards, paid as an annual fee plus meeting fees. Almost never advertised. Filled from the names people already trust.

Paid keynotes

$3k to $10k per event

Conference and corporate speaking, priced per event. The fee follows the profile, not the CV. Most doctors speak free until the profile changes.

Expert consulting

$250 to $900 per hour

Product input, expert review, market research calls and litigation work. Almost always billed by the hour, not the day, so we model it that way.

How we keep it honest

Where the assumptions come from.

Conservative rate anchors

We use the lower half of observed market ranges so the model understates rather than flatters.

Twelve month horizon

Costs are modelled across a full year. Most engagements produce their first paid opportunity between month four and month nine.

No clinical income included

The calculator measures only income created outside your existing rota, so nothing here double counts your salary.
