Two practices. One standard.

Advice shaped around the decision you face.

For investment firms

Assess the opportunity.

Scientific and technical diligence

Evaluate scientific claims, technical credibility, validation, data quality, and the evidence supporting the investment thesis.

AI, software, and platform assessment

Examine AI models, scientific software, research platforms, technical differentiation, workflow fit, and internal versus external capabilities.

Compute and infrastructure economics

Assess cloud and private infrastructure, GPU and accelerator strategy, utilization, cost, procurement, scalability, and capital requirements.

Market, customer, and adoption analysis

Understand purchasing criteria, adoption, pricing, budgets, switching, renewals, customer experience, and the sources of durable advantage.

Clinical, regulatory, and commercial diligence

Evaluate clinical development technologies, regulatory and compliance platforms, commercialization tools, service providers, and operating dependencies.

What you receive

An evidence-based decision brief: thesis implications, material risks, unresolved questions, and the next diligence worth doing.

For life science companies

Set direction. Build for adoption.

AI and technology strategy

Prioritize AI and machine learning opportunities, decide what to build, buy, fine-tune, or partner on, and align technology choices with scientific and business priorities.

Scientific platforms and data readiness

Connect scientific software, computational biology, research tools, data quality, interoperability, governance, and model development into usable enterprise foundations.

Compute and infrastructure strategy

Design cloud, private, or hybrid infrastructure around workload requirements, model ownership, GPU and accelerator choices, cost, capacity, and governance.

R&D and laboratory transformation

Improve discovery workflows, laboratory automation, lab-in-the-loop systems, instrumentation, scientific IT, research productivity, and portfolio execution.

Clinical and regulatory transformation

Apply AI and software to regulatory writing, intelligence, compliance, and clinical research workflows.

External partnerships

Evaluate outsourcing, service providers, partner selection, partnership models, and the structures required to support execution.

Commercial and enterprise AI

Use AI, analytics, and software across forecasting, launch planning, field engagement, lifecycle management, market access, and enterprise decision-making.

What you receive

A decision-ready strategy and roadmap: prioritized choices, technical dependencies, resource assumptions, and milestones for implementation.

Engagement structure

Flexible by design. Clear from the outset.

Hourly advisory

Focused expertise, as needed.

For focused questions, technical reviews, working sessions, and situations where the scope is expected to evolve. Work is billed for the time required.

Project-based engagements

Defined scope. Agreed deliverables.

For defined objectives with an agreed scope, deliverables, and timeline. Fees are established in advance based on the requirements of the engagement.

We agree the appropriate structure, scope, and commercial terms before substantive work begins.

Our perspective

Reason from first principles.

We reason from first principles because established categories, vendor narratives, and historical analogies can obscure the constraints that actually determine whether a technology will work. We begin by reducing the problem to what must be true across the science, data, software, hardware, economics, and operating environment. From there, we rebuild the decision around evidence: what has been demonstrated, what the system requires, which constraints are fundamental, and which can be engineered around. The purpose is not abstraction for its own sake. It is to understand the system well enough to distinguish capability from claim, identify the consequences of deployment, and make decisions grounded in how the technology actually behaves.

What we examine

The connections that change the assessment.

01

Adoption

What is being used, by whom, and for which workflows?

02

Value

How does the technology affect scientific outcomes, productivity, costs, or timelines?

03

Selection

Which solutions were evaluated, why was one chosen, and what differentiates them?

04

Economics

What are the prices, spending levels, order volumes, budgets, and capacity commitments?

05

Build versus buy versus partner

Which capabilities should remain internal, and which should be purchased or outsourced?

06

Market dynamics

What drives growth, adoption barriers, vendor switching, renewals, and customer retention?

07

Partnerships

How are collaborations structured, implemented, and supported?

About HyIQ

Science, engineering, and strategy in one conversation.

A useful assessment must be able to move from a scientific hypothesis to model evaluation, from software architecture to compute cost, and from a technical result to a business priority. HyIQ brings these perspectives together so that important dependencies do not disappear between specialist workstreams.
