$120-$330/hr neurologic localization and diagnosis, on your schedule
Read a model's neuro notes, localization arguments, and EEG reads the way you would staff a fellow's consult. Flag the brainstem sign it missed and explain why the deficit cannot come from that lesion.
Trusted by top research companies
Hi, we're Zac and Jack, the founders of Terac. We want to talk to you directly, because you are the most important part of what we're building.
Terac is a community of experts. People who have spent years getting good at something specific and hard. The world is about to need more of you, not less. As AI takes on more of the world's work, the bottleneck shifts to the people who actually know what they're talking about.
Expert labor is the rarest resource in the world right now, and it is shockingly hard to find. The companies that need a neurologist catching a localization that does not add up spend weeks chasing people, paying placement fees, and settling for whoever is available. Meanwhile thousands of qualified people are sitting with knowledge that no one ever asks for.
That gap is what we're here to close. Every project that lands on Terac is routed to the people who actually know the answer, on their schedule, paid fairly, and only when the work is verified. No middleman taking a cut of your time. No vague gigs. No chasing checks.
We care about every single person in this community. If you join Terac, you're not a row in a database to us. We read the feedback. We answer the emails. We will fight for you when a customer is being unreasonable, and we will be honest with you when something on our side is broken. The quality of this panel is our entire company, and we owe you a serious bar.
If you've made it this far, here is what we're asking: claim your profile. Put your expertise on the record. Let the world's most ambitious teams come find you for the work only you can do.
Neurology questions
Still curious? Write to us at support@terac.com.
Yes. Subspecialty depth is what is scarce. Stroke neurologists who live inside the tPA and thrombectomy windows, and epileptologists who read EEG daily, catch errors a generalist glosses over. Narrower, higher-paying work routes to subspecialists, placing your fellowship training at the top of the $120 to $330 band.
You need to be a board-certified or board-eligible neurologist with active or recent US practice. An unrestricted license is preferred. We verify credentials through attestations during onboarding, but you do not need to be seeing patients full time to participate.
Neither. You evaluate a model's text and reasoning, not real patients. There is no doctor-patient relationship and no clinical liability. You act as an expert reviewer judging whether the neurologic reasoning meets the standard of care, the same way you would critique a teaching case.
Expect AI-drafted consult and progress notes, localization arguments, EEG and EMG reads, neuro-imaging interpretations, differentials, and treatment plans from acute stroke to status epilepticus. You flag the reasoning errors, dangerous recommendations, and guideline deviations, then explain the correct logic in writing.
That is the most common and most valuable thing you will catch. Models recite tracts fluently yet fail to integrate them into a coherent localization. You flag the anatomically impossible deficit, name where the findings actually localize, and explain the step the model skipped. That correction is the signal labs are buying.
Why your expertise matters
Today's neuro AI recites the homunculus but cannot reconcile a crossed deficit with a brainstem lesion, misses posterior circulation strokes, and blows past tPA windows. Catching that takes a neurologist who localizes from the exam first. Your corrections teach these tools the reasoning a search engine cannot fake.
How pay works
Neurology projects pay $120 to $330 an hour, with the top band for fellowship-trained stroke, epilepsy, and neuromuscular subspecialists. The work is remote, hourly, and asynchronous. Most experts do a few hours a week between clinic and call. You are paid for time on task, including the written rationale.
What the work looks like
A sample of the neurologic localization and diagnosis you would pick up. Every project is scoped, remote, and paid on verified completion.
- Flag where an AI-drafted stroke consult recommends tPA outside the AHA and ASA window without documenting last-known-well or contraindication screening.
- Verify whether a model's seizure classification and proposed medication match an EEG described as 3 Hz generalized spike-and-wave.
- Explain why a crossed face-and-body sensory deficit localizes to the brainstem, not the cortical lesion the model named.
- Flag an AI-drafted MS plan that escalates therapy after one event without applying McDonald criteria or ruling out an NMOSD mimic.
- Document the neuromuscular steps a model skipped when its progressive weakness workup omits CK, EMG, and the inflammatory myopathy differential.
- Flag a machine-written thunderclap headache triage that recommends outpatient follow-up instead of CT and lumbar puncture for subarachnoid hemorrhage.
