The First 10 priorities on every engagement.
Two different businesses, one shared standard. Whether the file says validation or insurance, these ten priorities come first — every client, every system, every policy.
Listen first
Understand the question before chasing the answer.
Independence
Findings follow the evidence — not the assignment.
Verify, don't assume
On-site, hands-on verification beats desktop guesswork.
Document everything
Photos, measurements, and notes that hold up later.
Right methodology
Recognized standards, applied correctly.
Plain language
Technical findings written so decision-makers can act.
Timeliness
Project schedules and coverage needs don't wait — neither do we.
Right-sized scope
No gaps, no gold-plating — the work the situation actually requires.
Communication
You'll never wonder where your file stands.
Accountability
We stand behind every finding we sign.
One umbrella. Two disciplines. Zero conflicts.
First 10 Priority Consulting, LLC was built on a simple observation: pharmaceutical validation and life & health insurance are entirely different disciplines — and clients deserve a dedicated specialist in each, not a generalist in both.
That's why we operate as two distinct practices under one umbrella. Our engineering division delivers commissioning, qualification, validation, and investigation services for regulated life-science manufacturing. Our insurance division helps individuals and families review, choose, and establish life and health coverage. Each engagement is staffed, scoped, and delivered entirely within its own lane.
What the two share is the standard behind our name: the First 10 priorities that govern every file we open.
Engineering division
- Pharmaceutical validation — CQV, IQ/OQ/PQ & metrology
- Serving pharma, biotech & life-science manufacturers
Insurance division
- Life & health insurance — policy review & coverage placement
- Serving individuals, families & Medicare clients
Jelvoner Jemison
Founder & Principal ConsultantI graduated from North Carolina A&T State University with a degree in Chemical Engineering, and I've spent more than 30 years in engineering and management roles — most of it in manufacturing and quality management. First 10 Priority's engineering practice is built on that foundation: consultants who bring a top-quality, First 10 focus to delivering FDA-compliant, validated, and fully documented qualifications and engineering services.
I'm equally committed to serving families. Licensed in insurance for more than 20 years, I've learned that my most fulfilling moments come when my work lifts the financial stress from a family that has lost a loved one, or one facing medical treatment — because the right coverage was in place when they needed it most.
Trusted when it counts.
Their qualification protocols were airtight — clean execution, complete documentation, and zero findings when the auditors came through.— Quality Director, Pharmaceutical Manufacturer
I'd been declined twice because of my health history. They found a guaranteed issue policy that fit my budget and had me covered within the week.— Life Insurance Client
They stepped into a behind-schedule CQV project, rebuilt the plan, and got us to startup on time. Organized, responsive, and thorough.— Engineering Manager, CDMO
