FAQs

What is the overall process, and how customizable is it?

Our PHD-led opportunity screens are augmented by Scitaris-AI, an agentic framework built on our validated consulting methodology.

First, we tailor the agent: decision criteria, competitive benchmarks, and transactability thresholds are set against your therapeutic focus, geographic priorities, deal structure, and portfolio gaps. Scitaris-AI then assesses and ranks the entire opportunity space with ~95% accuracy and ~94% reproducibility. Real-time continuous news and data integration gives us an up-to-the-minute market picture, and foreign news integration erodes any language barriers.

PhD-level consultants then validate the output, interpreting results, handling edge cases, and applying critical judgment for final recommendations. The result is a prioritized asset option space, analyzed at varying levels of depth to focus on the best opportunities. The process is fully customizable throughout.

Can we include side entries in the analysis?

Yes. Side entries and inbound lists from investment banks can be integrated at any stage.

How does pricing work? Do you offer success-based or project-based fees?

We invoice only for the actual effort spent, without success-based fees, to ensure full objectivity for our clients.

How long does a typical engagement take?

Depending on scope, projects range from under a week for a single-asset analysis to about two months for a full end-to-end opportunity screen.
