Guidelines For Sharing Knowledge on OnFrontiers
OnFrontiers established simple rules to ensure a consulting environment that prioritizes confidentiality and security. These rules recognize the existing constraints on information that experts can share with clients on consultations and opportunity calls. Our compliance framework allows experts to be valued for their knowledge and experience as well as it helps navigate our client’s information confidentiality requirements.

Avoid conflicts of interest
Experts must decline any Consultation or Opportunity Call that presents an actual or likely conflict of interest.
A few examples of conflicts of interest are:
- You are a stakeholder or employee in a competitor of the company that asked for your advice
- You are asked to provide advice about your professional duties with your current employer
- You have signed an agreement with your employer that prohibits you from doing so
- You are a public employee and you are asked about source selection or contractor proposal information that is not publicly available
Recognize the importance of information confidentiality
Confidential Information is any non-public information that has been agreed to remain unreleased. A breach of Information Confidentiality would likely adversely impact an individual’s privacy or a business’s competitiveness.
Confidential Information also includes the agreement with OnFrontiers and the information received by an Expert from a Client during a Consultation or Opportunity Call.
Prohibited Practices
You may not provide investment, accounting, legal or medical counseling through OnFrontiers. You may also not use your position as:
- A government official and government employee to discuss government legislation, regulation, policy, and contacts that affect your work directly
- Medical professional to discuss clinical trial results or patient experience information
- An auditor or former auditor to comment on companies you have audited in the past 3 years
