Pilot
Small and fixed in scope, focused on one concrete question, for example a Target–Indication Evidence Pack on 3 targets. Suited to a first engagement, when you want to see the quality of the work before deciding what comes next.
ENGAGEMENT
How to Work With Us
Three ways to work with us: a fixed-scope pilot, a project built around one R&D question, or ongoing advisory. It starts with a free 30-minute call.
What an external data science department means
It is a specific way of working: you don't have to build a bioinformatics team for one program.
R&D leaders know why that is hard. Computational biologists are difficult to hire. Analysis workload rises and falls with the program: around milestones and submissions you are short of people, and in between there isn't enough work to keep a full team busy. And one person rarely covers the whole chain. A single-cell specialist may not build survival models; someone who runs pipelines may not produce figures fit for a data room.
We work alongside your R&D team. During a project we connect to your environment remotely, and your data stays where it is.
ENGAGEMENT MODELS
Three ways to work with us
Project
Built around one clear R&D question, taken through the five steps from problem definition to decision-ready delivery. Scope, deliverables and timeline are set at the proposal stage.
Ongoing advisory
An external data science department you call on when needed. When there is analysis to do, we pick it up; when there isn't, we pause. You don't need to staff up for every peak in workload.
Working with your internal team
If you already have an in-house bioinformatics team, we usually cover the part they don't have time or specific experience for. We don't replace them. Code ships with every report, so your team can review the work and carry it forward.
PROCESS
How an engagement runs
- 01
Initial conversation
We learn about your R&D question, your data and your timeline. This first conversation is the free 30-minute consultation.
- 02
Proposal and quote
Based on the question and the data, we propose an analysis plan, a list of deliverables and a quote.
- 03
NDA and data preparation
We sign an NDA before kickoff. If your data is involved, we agree on remote access and data scope. For public-data projects, this step is mainly about confirming the analysis scope.
- 04
Analysis and delivery
We run the analysis as planned and deliver the report, figures, results tables and code.
- 05
Interpretation and follow-up
After delivery, we walk through the results with your team and answer follow-up questions. Handing over files is not where the work ends.
What the free 30-minute consultation covers
- You walk us through your R&D question.
- We tell you whether we can answer it, how, and what data it takes.
- If we can't, we say so.
There is no fee and nothing to sign. Keep it to the question itself; there's no need to share confidential data.
