The Biopharma Decision Operating System

In biopharma, science is the business model.ARiDA is the system built to run it.

ARiDA makes science decision-active. It connects molecular, biological and clinical evidence to probability of success, valuation, portfolio risk and development choices. When the evidence changes, the calculation changes, and the team can see why the recommended action moved.

What decision-active means

A change in the science can change the model and the action.

01

Molecular liability

A governed molecular liability can reduce benchmark PoS and change the final Monte Carlo rNPV.

Molecule -> PoS -> rNPV

02

Molecular similarity

Molecular similarity can become a portfolio correlation assumption, changing covariance, diversification and capital allocation.

Similarity -> correlation -> allocation

03

Safety evidence

A serious safety liability remains a hard veto. It cannot disappear inside an attractive average score.

Safety signal -> veto -> defer or stop

04

Target evidence

Target biology, contradictory evidence, coverage and safety can change an advance, defer or stop posture.

Target case -> decision posture

05

Indication evidence

Target validation, pathway enrichment, druggability, assay quality and ADMET readiness can change feasibility and sequence.

Evidence -> feasibility -> sequence

06

Scientific uncertainty

EVPI, EVPPI and EVSI compare the value of resolving uncertainty with the cost and timing of the experiment.

Uncertainty -> information value -> experiment

Six Studios. One system.

Use the science required by the decision.

Each Studio applies a defined biopharma method to a specific decision. A Decision Case can use one Studio or several, while evidence, assumptions and asset context remain connected between them.

Explore Studios

Studios are introduced through private enterprise engagements. Available methods depend on the decision, deployment configuration and permitted evidence.

01

Target opportunity

Target Studio

Does this target deserve the next investment?

Assemble target identity, disease biology, mechanism, tractability, safety and clinical precedent. ARiDA shows which evidence strengthens the thesis, which evidence blocks it and what should be learned next.

Open Target
02

Asset decisions

Drug Studio

Should this asset advance, defer, stop, be licensed or be passed?

Keep molecular developability, mechanism, clinical evidence, safety, competitive analogues, regulatory context, IP evidence and business assumptions inside the same asset case.

Open Drug
03

Expansion strategy

Indication Studio

Where should this asset go next?

Compare scientific admissibility, clinical feasibility, differentiation, economics and execution constraints without hiding a weak dimension inside one composite score.

Open Indication
04

Asset and portfolio value

Valuation Studio

What is the defensible value range, and what moves it?

Connect scientific and clinical assumptions to rNPV, Monte Carlo distributions, real options and value of information. Reviewers can inspect an assumption and rerun the affected case.

Open Valuation
05

Capital allocation

Portfolio Studio

Which programs should receive capital now?

Evaluate assets against strategy, cash, capacity, shared scientific risk, timing and available options. Keep credible alternatives and dominated choices visible for the committee.

Open Portfolio
06

IP evidence

Patent Studio

Which IP evidence changes the business decision?

Connect patent-family, ownership, claim-theme, exclusivity and proceeding evidence to lifecycle, transaction and competitive questions. Patent Studio prepares evidence for business and counsel review. It does not provide legal opinions or clearance conclusions.

Open Patent

Decision Cases and Asset 360

Keep the scientific case and the business decision together.

A Decision Case preserves the question, exact asset revision, evidence state, assumptions, methods, alternatives, dissent, selected action, approvals and reopening triggers. Asset 360 carries the scientific and commercial context between Studios.

One durable record

See the model move when the evidence changes.

Supported objects can recompute from a reviewed assumption change. The case keeps the prior value, new value, affected calculation and reason for the change available to reviewers.

Question and revision

The case identifies the decision and the exact asset state under review.

Method and alternatives

Assumptions, computations, hard gates and credible alternatives remain inspectable.

Release and reopening

Approvals, dissent, actions and the evidence that should reopen the case stay recorded.

Frame the case

Define the decision before the research expands.

ARiDA records the alternatives, decision criteria, evidence requirements and unresolved questions before a Studio starts work. The case then gathers and computes only what the decision requires.

Review and release

Keep the recommendation attached to its basis.

Reviewers can inspect evidence, assumptions, calculations, alternatives and dissent before approving a release. Reopening triggers record what new evidence or threshold should bring the decision back to the team.

Decision outputs

The analysis should show what changed and why.

Review the scientific input, the affected calculation, the resulting decision question and the limits of the analysis. Selected outputs can be released as workbooks, memos, decks or structured records without losing the assumptions behind them.

Release formats

Move reviewed work into the format the next reviewer needs.

Files are the release and handoff format, not the product itself. The Decision Case remains the record of the evidence, assumptions, calculation and approval behind each exported view.

The computational spine

ARiDA carries science into the business decision.

Evidence passes through a defined scientific method, into the relevant calculation and onward to a recorded choice. These four layers explain how the recommendation can change without losing its basis.

01

Scientific engines

Methods that understand the evidence entering the decision.

Molecular descriptors, similarity, target biology, pathway evidence, clinical precedent, safety and other scientific inputs are handled by defined methods with explicit gaps and provenance.

Decision consequence

A liability, contradiction or stronger biological case can change the inputs used by the business model.

02

Decision mathematics

The scientific input reaches the calculation that leadership uses.

PoS, Monte Carlo rNPV, covariance, portfolio allocation, real options and value of information run as inspectable calculations rather than manually re-entered conclusions.

Decision consequence

The value range, downside, diversification case or next-experiment economics move with the evidence.

03

Decision rules and hard gates

Blocking evidence stays blocking.

Safety vetoes, admissibility rules, missing-data behavior, thresholds and scenario assumptions remain explicit. A strong score elsewhere cannot silently cancel a serious liability.

Decision consequence

The recommended action can move from advance to defer or stop, with the triggering rule visible.

04

Decision memory

A later review begins from the prior decision, not a reconstructed deck.

Decision Cases preserve the asset revision, evidence state, assumptions, alternatives, dissent, selected action, approvals, release history and reopening triggers.

Decision consequence

New evidence can be compared with the approved baseline and routed back to the responsible team.

Evidence substrate

The evidence stays connected to the decision it informs.

ARiDA relates evidence to assets, targets, mechanisms, trials, assumptions and prior decisions. Sources remain inspectable, but they are inputs to the scientific and business method rather than the product story itself.

Decision continuity

A decision should not lose its history when the evidence changes.

ARiDA keeps monitoring, review and follow-up connected to the original Decision Case. Teams can compare a new result with the approved baseline and see why the case reopened.

Return new evidence to the case

A material paper, trial update, safety finding or competitor event is attached to the Decision Case it may change, not dropped into a separate feed.

Compare against the approved baseline

ARiDA preserves the prior evidence state, assumptions and result. The team can see what changed before accepting a new recommendation.

Reopen on explicit terms

Reopening triggers can be tied to scientific, clinical, commercial or execution conditions. A case returns for review when one of those conditions is met.

Keep external action approval-led

Scheduled work and channel delivery can continue in the background. Messages, releases and consequential actions remain subject to the configured approval policy.

Evaluate continuity against a decision your team already reviews.

Security and compliance

Built for demanding biopharma teams with security, compliance and reliability at enterprise scale.

HIPAA, SOC 2 Type II and GDPR compliance

Enterprise controls

A recommendation should survive inspection.

Each Decision Case records the evidence, assumptions, calculation, method version, unresolved gaps, approvals and release history behind the recommendation. When evidence is missing, the case records the gap and shows how it limits the decision.

Enterprise evaluation includes a review of deployment architecture, access controls, data handling, source rights and retention configuration.

  • Scoped workspaces and role-gated access
  • Source and assumption lineage
  • Versioned compute records and artifact hashes
  • Approval and release gates
  • Spend controls and audited run state
  • Separate internal work and released stakeholder views
