Projects: engineering and scientific de-risking cases

Real projects, anonymized under NDA. Each one is task → method → result with numbers from the reports. The work was done for clients; we don't disclose the client, product or country — details come on a diagnostic call.

Medicinal chemistry · rechecking the shortlist

Selectivity read: 1401 “antagonists” → 19 confirmed

A manual check of the direction of action filtered false hits and brought two calculation methods into agreement (r = +0.44).

Client and details are under NDA, shared on a diagnostic call.

Plant engineering · utilities

Independent HVAC & chilled-water check for a GMP plant

The recheck exposed a 137 kW double-count and 22 deviations from spec (6 critical) — before the contract was signed.

Generic launch · entry economics

Generic to market: the sales plan vs the ceiling of demand

The planned 50,000 packs equalled the ceiling of all demand; as a standalone business, entry loses money.

Client and details are under NDA, shared on a diagnostic call.

Open

Formulation · clinical rationale

A “satiety-enhancer” supplement: sound formula, unprovable claim

Preformulation plus an evidence-base audit: the headline claim can't be proven, but a neighbouring claim has strong support.

Client and details are under NDA, shared on a diagnostic call.

Open

Import substitution · synthesis

Candidate molecules with simple synthesis for localization

Screening by synthesizability, a “synthesis difficulty / market attractiveness” quadrant, and an independent red-team validation.

Open

Buccal delivery

Oral films: how much active really fits

Dose-capacity calculation and load limits for the active — verifiable limits instead of promises.

Nutraceuticals · business case

Supplement portfolio: what to make and in which channel

SKU scoring, channel margins, scenarios and a financial model — a director's verdict, not generic advice.

Open

Market assessment · new market

Niches and the economics of entering a new national market

Niche assessment with plant-CAPEX and retail-price anchors, an SKU business case and revenue scenarios.

Client and details are under NDA, shared on a diagnostic call.

Open

Regulatory · patent strategy

Generic entry before the patent cliff — registration mechanisms

Compulsory registration and licensing: how to enter while the patent is still in force, and where the legal limits are.

Client and details are under NDA, shared on a diagnostic call.

Open

Formulation · non-oral form

Two non-oral forms of one active substance

Carrier physicochemistry, pharmacokinetics, patent clearance and applicability limits — with stability caveats.

Client and details are under NDA, shared on a diagnostic call.

Open

Positioning · herbal product

Taking a herbal product to a foreign market

A comparison against an analogue, a manufacturer map, and positioning for a specific market given the category's regulatory status.

Client and details are under NDA, shared on a diagnostic call.

Every case has the same shape

Task → method → result, with numbers from the reports and honest caveats — what's measured, what's an estimate, what's from the client. A negative result is still a result: it saves the client money before it's spent.
