Frequently Asked Questions
What kinds of companies do you work with?
We specialize in supporting early-stage and growth-phase biotech, diagnostics, healthcare, and life science companies.
Whether you need an operations gap assessment, you’re designing your first lab, implementing a Quality Management System (QMS), preparing for ISO certification, or choosing a LIMS or EHR platform, we help you lay the groundwork with systems that are practical, scalable, and audit-ready. Our goal is to position your operations for smart, confident growth without expensive surprises later.
What is your process like?
We keep things structured but flexible—designed to meet you where you are.
Free 1-Hour Consultation
We start with a no-pressure discovery call to learn about your business, your pain points, and your goals. We’ll ask questions, offer insight, and suggest a tailored path forward.Proposal & Scope Agreement
If there’s a fit, we’ll send a detailed proposal outlining the scope of work, timeline, deliverables, and pricing—either fixed-rate or milestone-based, depending on the project.Kickoff & Discovery Phase
Once we align on scope, we’ll dive into the discovery phase. This may include workflow reviews, interviews with key team members, and access to relevant systems or documentation.Execution & Collaboration
We provide hands-on consulting—sharing drafts, recommendations, SOPs, or project updates on a regular cadence. You’ll always know where things stand.Investor-Ready Monthly Reporting (ROI & KPIs)
Each month, we deliver a board-ready report and dashboard showing measurable ROI and key KPIs—on-time milestones, first-pass success, CAPA cycle time, unit cost/test, vendor SLA performance, and savings/runway impact (with simple ROI math: hours saved + vendor savings + avoided repeats). It’s designed for you to share directly with investors and your Board of Directors.Delivery & Next Steps
We walk through the final deliverables together and discuss next steps—whether that’s implementing recommendations, ongoing support, or a new phase of collaboration.
Our goal is to make your operations smoother—not more overwhelming.
How does pricing work?
We primarily work on an hourly basis so you only pay for what you need, when you need it. This allows us to tailor support to your company’s stage, priorities, and budget. Whether you’re seed-stage or post-Series B, we’ll scope the work together and align on an approach that makes sense for your resources.
How long does a typical engagement take?
It depends on the scope. A foundational operations assessment might take 2–3 weeks, while ISO readiness or LIMS implementation could span 3-6 months. We'll always provide a clear timeline and deliverables upfront.
I’m not sure what I need yet. Can we talk first?
Absolutely. We offer a free 1-hour consultation to walk through your needs, pain points, and where you’re headed. From there, we’ll recommend the best next steps—whether it’s one of our standard packages or something more customized.
