The capability

What We Actually Do

We advise on the decisions that shape a program before execution begins, and we intervene when execution has gone wrong. That covers country and site selection, feasibility modeling, operating model design, vendor selection and oversight, due diligence, and trial rescue where a study is behind plan or a quality position has deteriorated.

Rescue work is diagnostic before it is corrective. A study behind on recruitment, a TMF that will not survive inspection and a vendor relationship that has broken down look similar from the outside and require different responses. The first deliverable is an assessment that says plainly which problem is actually present.

Regulatory considerations

Country selection, feasibility modeling and trial rescue

Country selection is a regulatory decision as much as an operational one. Approval timelines, joint review eligibility, local representation requirements, permit lead times and data transfer restrictions differ enough between candidate countries to change an activation plan by months. Modeling these at feasibility rather than discovering them at start-up is the single highest-return piece of advisory work on most programs.

Where a program is already in difficulty, the regulatory position usually needs assessment first. Amendments filed inconsistently across countries, safety reports submitted to some authorities and not others, and approvals that have lapsed during a pause are common findings, and they constrain what remediation options remain open.

How an engagement runs

The Sequence

1. Assessment

A documented view of the current position: regulatory status, operational performance, quality exposure and vendor relationships.

2. Options

Realistic paths forward with cost, timeline and risk attached to each, including the option of stopping.

3. Plan

An agreed plan with owners, dates and decision points.

4. Execution support

Implementation support to the depth the sponsor wants, from advisory oversight to embedded delivery.

What you receive

Deliverables

A documented assessment of the current position. Costed options with timeline and risk. An agreed plan with owners and decision points. Implementation support to the agreed depth.

Evidence and context

The Research Behind This Work

Our operating assumptions are published rather than asserted. The Future of Clinical Trials in Africa sets out why study performance is increasingly determined by ecosystem maturity rather than site selection, and The Untapped Advantage makes the case that institutions, not regions, are the right unit of qualification. Both are available in full, with executive briefs for readers who want the argument in a shorter form.
