INDS™ — Our Methodology

Every evaluation we conduct follows INDS™.

How the appointing service works

From request to appointed neutral — in under 48 hours.

Finding the right neutral for a specific dispute has traditionally been slow, uncertain, and dependent on personal networks. TheNeutrals.ORG™ fixes this structurally — through a combination of AI-powered matching, institutional verification, and professional appointment administration.

Every neutral on the TheNeutrals.ORG™ bench holds MCN or FICM certification, has been independently assessed against our international standards, and is bound by our Code of Ethical Conduct. When you appoint through TheNeutrals.ORG™, you are not searching a directory — you are engaging an institutionally governed appointment service.

INDS™ AI engine scores 1,500+ neutrals and returns ranked matches with reasoning and fee ranges — in minutes

Conflict check

TheNeutrals.ORG™ conducts a conflict-of-interest check against all parties before any appointment is confirmed

Appointment confirmed

The neutral accepts the appointment, terms of reference are agreed, and the engagement begins — within 48 hours

Governance maintained

TheNeutrals.ORG™ maintains institutional oversight throughout — the neutral is bound by our Code of Ethical Conduct for the entire engagement

What we check before every appointment

MCN or FICM certification — current

Certification must be active and in good standing at the time of every appointment

No conflict of interest

Full conflict check against all parties, related entities, and counsel before appointment is confirmed

Sector and jurisdiction match

The neutral's verified sector expertise and jurisdictional experience match the specific requirements of the matter

Language capability

Language capability verified — not self-reported. Proceedings in the right language, with genuine fluency, not approximate competence

Current availability

The neutral confirms availability for the matter before being presented as a candidate — no appointments that cannot be honoured

Ethics compliance

The neutral confirms acceptance of and compliance with the TheNeutrals.ORG™ Code of Ethical Conduct for the specific engagement
