_Publishable burden-of-illness work that anchors the unmet-need argument across access, advocacy and medical._

Publishable burden-of-illness and unmet-need work that quantifies the gap between current care and what patients actually need. Delivered as a study report and publication-ready manuscript, plus a live funnel portal that exposes per-step epi and cost overlay.

## What it is

Robust, publishable burden-of-illness and unmet-need work that quantifies the gap between current care and what patients actually need, the underpinning every access, advocacy and medical conversation depends on.

Built for HEOR and access teams who need a credible BOI base before payer engagement, advocacy work or the unmet-need section of an HTA submission. Designed to clear peer-review, not just internal sign-off.

## How we run it

1. **Frame** — Lock the indication, the geography, the audiences (payer, agency, advocate) and the BOI dimensions the work has to defend.

2. **Ingest** — Pull the epidemiology, cost, HRQoL and productivity evidence through a defined search and extraction protocol.

3. **Synthesise** — Reconcile across studies, segment by line and sub-population, and surface the methodological disagreements rather than averaging them away.

4. **Deliver** — Ship the study report, the publication-ready manuscript and a live funnel portal that exposes per-step epi and cost overlay.

- Burden-of-illness study report
