Present isn’t the same as prepared.
Quorate convenes a full panel of virtual non-executive directors to read your board pack before the meeting. It draws out the debates your board should be having — the Contested Ground — considered constructively from every seat at the table, with recommendations on the decisions your directors need to take.
Forty-seven FTSE 100 non-executives sit on four public boards; eight sit on five or more. Attention is the scarcest resource in governance — and preparation is where it slips first.
No card. No setup. Upload a pack, get a pre-read.
Contested ground
from a real pre-read structureDraw the new facility now to secure the acquisition window, or preserve covenant headroom that is already tightening.
Commercial & Growth
The window closes in Q2. Delay costs more than the interest — the target's pipeline is the growth plan. [D2:14]
Audit & Finance
Headroom has fallen three quarters running. A downside case has been requested twice and not produced. [D1:7]
The board must decide Is the acquisition worth funding before the covenant position is stress-tested?
Every side considered at full strength, cited to your own papers. Deciding is the board's job — arriving unprepared for the decision shouldn't be.
Three steps to a sharper board meeting.
About ten minutes of your time. The panel does the rest.
Upload the pack
Agenda, board materials, previous minutes. Everything is encrypted with keys that belong to your organisation before it is stored.
Confirm your panel
Quorate proposes the non-executive backgrounds your agenda actually calls for — finance, risk, legal, investors — then reads every page and drafts the pre-read. You choose how many independent review rounds challenge it, and with which models.
Run a sharper meeting
The pre-read lands with the questions worth asking and the Contested Ground on top. Decide each one, drop the additions into your agenda, email the PDF with the pack.

disciplines
Every internationally recognised NED role — audit, risk, legal, remuneration, investors, ESG and more — grounded in statute, regulator guidance and governance codes, tuned to your jurisdiction: UK, US, EU, Hong Kong or Singapore. Not a chatbot's opinion.
$20,000 vs
$2,245
One seat at your table costs $20,000 a year — a FTSE 100 seat averages over $100,000, and activist investors are arguing it should double. A full Quorate panel, every meeting, all year, costs about a tenth of one seat — and benchmarks the directors you already pay for.
Every claim
cited
Anchored to a passage in your own papers, checkable in one click. Anything the panel asserted that could not be traced back is discarded before you see it.
Quorate runs the process. You run the board.
Built for the people who prepare the meeting — the COO and the Company Secretary.
What Quorate does
Manages the pre-meeting process. It reads every page of the pack you built, convenes the challenge, and pre-empts the questions your non-executives will ask — before the meeting, while there's still time to answer them. And it keeps the record: who signed in, who read the papers, who confirmed it — an append-only audit trail your auditor can take as it stands.
What it doesn't
It doesn't write your agenda, and it doesn't build your pack. Those are yours — the judgement of what the board should see is exactly the judgement we don't automate. Quorate takes the pack you assembled and makes sure the meeting it gets is the sharpest one it can earn.
Built for the most sensitive documents a company produces
Papers are encrypted before they are stored, with keys that belong to your organisation alone. Every decision, send and access is audit-logged. Quorate is not a director, holds no office, and gives no legal, financial or investment advice — it makes the meeting your directors attend worth more. The board decides.
What our customers say
“The Contested Ground asked the exact question I’d been avoiding putting on the agenda. It went on the agenda.”
“Two hundred pages nobody used to challenge became forty minutes on the two things that mattered. The meeting is different now.”
“I circulate the PDF with the pack. Directors arrive having already seen both sides argued — with page references.”
