ProtoQuiz started as the tool I needed for myself.

I'm a working paramedic. I built ProtoQuiz to get through school, and I still use it on shift. The knowledge a provider has to be rock-solid on — pharmacology, procedures, your agency's protocols — is the kind where 80% confident isn't good enough. Nothing in the field drills it. There are tools that prep you for the NREMT. Tools for trivia. Tools for CE hours. Tools that ship you a textbook. Nothing built around the actual, scope-specific, drug-by-drug, page-cited knowledge you reach for on a call.

So I built one. For me first, then for anyone else who needed it. The consumer app has been out for a while and it works — I use it on shift, the medics I trained with use it, medics around the country use it. The thing that's new is the version I've extended for agencies. Your protocols, your providers, your dashboard, running on the same engine.

What it does for the people on shift

If your providers actually use it — and the point of the dashboard is that you'll know exactly who does — what you get is people who know your protocols. Not in the "they read the PDF three months ago" sense. In the active-recall, page-cited, you-asked-them-on-day-three-and-day-seventeen-and-day-forty sense. They know which drug, which dose, which decision point, which cert level it applies to, and where it lives in your document.

Here's the version of this I care about most: when your providers are rock-solid on the foundation, they can deviate from it intelligently when the call demands it. Protocols are a floor, not a ceiling. A medic who has the formulary internalized — adult and peds dosing, indications, contraindications, base-contact rules — is the medic who makes the right call when the patient is doing something the protocol doesn't quite cover. That isn't contradictory. That's what protocol fluency unlocks.

What it does for the org

I'll list this plainly because the specifics matter:

  • Onboarding gets faster. A new hire can be doing real reps on day one. FTOs spend their time on judgment and hands-on technique instead of teaching the formulary.
  • Errors drop, and so does the surface area for liability. Protocol mistakes are mostly knowledge mistakes. Continuous, low-friction reps close the gap before it becomes a QA case.
  • Sharper clinicians, agency-wide. See above — the kind of knowledge that lets providers deviate intelligently when they need to.
  • Light competition between crews. Optional, agency-wide, and it pulls everyone up. I've watched this happen. It isn't subtle.
  • Earlier QA signal. The training-officer dashboard shows weak protocols and weak providers by name, by topic, by month. You see the gap before QA does. When someone needs remediation, you already know exactly what they need to drill — the system records that they drilled it — and you have a date-stamped record of the whole loop.
  • Everything is auditable. Quiz attempts, completions, assignments, mastery — all logged. CSV export is one click. The audit trail isn't a feature bolted on; it's a byproduct of how the thing works.

None of those are roadmap claims. That's what runs today across the 67 organizations already on the platform.

The pilot ask

I want one more pilot agency. The mechanics: $50 per provider per year, locked for life — not a launch promo, the rate sticks for as long as you stay. First six months free. The standard rate after the pilot window is $100/provider/yr flat; pilots stay at $50 forever. At a 40-provider service that's $2,000/year — about $167/month — for a continuously-running protocol training program tied to your actual document.

Here's the part that isn't in the pricing table: pilots get to request features and I will build them. Not "we'll consider it for the roadmap." If a training officer says "I need this view, this export, this assignment rule" — assuming it isn't bonkers, it ships. Pilot agencies do real work for me. You tell me what's confusing, what's missing, what only matters at your scale. The way I pay that back is direct: cheaper rate forever, plus a real line into how the product evolves.

One slot. Window closes August 1, 2026, or when it fills.

Where I'm taking this

I'm not pretending the current version is the finished thing. The direction I'm building toward — and this is roadmap, not what ships today — is CE accreditation, so the time your providers already spend in ProtoQuiz starts counting toward their CE hours. Right now it's training. Eventually it's training that also satisfies the recertification stack. Pilot agencies will be the first to benefit when that lands.

If this is you

If you're a training officer, medical director, or chief reading this and any of it landed — the application is short. Name, agency, rough provider count, who your medical director is. I respond personally.
