Our foundational service includes a two-part review of Informed Consent Forms that are signed off by our Certified Linguist :
1. Language Clarity Check
- Expert linguistic analysis
- Identification of jargon, ambiguity, and complex structures

Targeted Editing Recommendations: Specific, actionable suggestions to enhance clarity, readability, and usability.
2. Layperson Feedback
- Structured interviews with a representative layperson
- Written and verbal feedback on clarity and understanding
- Anonymised interview transcripts and summary insights

We use this to make immediately actionable ICF updates you can use in your IRB/REC application with linguist report.
