Est. 2026 · Harper Advisory
We help healthcare companies choose the right technology.
An independent advisory firm. We evaluate the software and AI being pitched to you — and we take no money from the vendors we evaluate.
A 30-minute call. No pitch, no deck.
Two ways to bring us in.
The Landscape Review
AA flat-fee project. Three weeks.
We interview your team to define what you actually need — not what a rep told you to need. We evaluate the real vendor options against your criteria, with real pricing rather than list pricing. You receive a scored comparison, a written recommendation, and a 90-day rollout plan. You end the month able to sign the right contract with confidence — or to confidently not sign the wrong one, which is worth just as much.
The Gatekeeper Retainer
BOngoing. Monthly.
For clients who want this discipline permanently: every vendor that cold-pitches you gets forwarded to us and screened. Every renewal gets negotiated by someone who knows the vendor's floor. Every "should we buy this?" gets answered before you sign — not after.
Every source of information you have is paid to sell you.
It's your job to run operations — not to evaluate six vendors in every category on top of it. Your time is better spent elsewhere. Your leverage is limited: you hear one polished pitch at a time, with no way to compare, and every rep who reaches your inbox is compensated to make their tool look like the answer.
Meanwhile, the pitches keep coming. AI schedulers, AI phone agents, AI billing, AI everything — some of it genuinely transformative, much of it noise. Telling the difference is a full-time discipline. It shouldn't have to be yours.
Nobody pays us to recommend anything.
Harper's founder spent 8 years on the selling side of that exact table — inside the pricing games, the discount approval processes, the demo scripts. Now that pattern recognition works for you, and only you.
We take no vendor money on buy-side engagements. No referral fees, no commissions, no equity. When we recommend a tool, no one paid us to say it.
A CFO manages the company's money and still hires an outside auditor — not because they can't do math, but because an independent, specialized eye is worth paying for on the decisions that are expensive to get wrong. We are the audit for software purchases.
Software pricing hides two gaps. We're paid to find them.
The gap between vendors.
Two tools that do essentially the same job for your business often differ in price by two times or more. One line of our comparison — this vendor delivers what you need at $800 a month per location; that one charges $2,000 for the same outcome — can be worth six figures a year to a multi-location group.
The gap inside one vendor.
List prices are opening offers, not real prices. Most vendors will discount 15–30% for a buyer who knows how to push — and almost no one on the buying side knows what a good price looks like. We do, because we watched the discount approval process from the inside for 8 years. We find their floor before you make your first counter.
You only pay in full when we've shown you the money.
Every engagement ends with an itemized savings table — every dollar documented, with the math shown. Half our fee is due up front. The other half is only ever due if that table documents at least twice our total fee in savings or avoided costs. If we haven't shown you the money, you don't owe it. We can only be paid in full by delivering more than we cost.
Nearly a decade on the other side of the table.
Harper was founded by Quinton Barnett, who spent years selling technology into healthcare organizations — most recently managing mid-market healthcare accounts at LinkedIn, working with dental groups, veterinary organizations, hospital systems, medical device companies, and health-tech startups. He built Harper on a simple observation: buyers deserve one advisor in the room whose incentives point the same direction theirs do.
