“Digital signals aren’t just noise. They are the missing layer. When combined with clinical and commercial data, they reveal how people actually feel about treatments in the real world. That sentiment is often what shapes uptake, even when everything else looks equal on paper.”

Bridging data gaps to make better launch decisions

Built on data, shaped by expertise

Combining sharp data science, deep industry knowledge, and the tools to move fast and make it stick

The challenge

The client needed to evaluate the commercial potential of multiple launch indications, each with varying levels of available evidence. What they had was fragmented. Data on disease burden was sparse, and there was limited clarity on how that aligned with competitive activity, price benchmarks, and patient sentiment. Our task was to bridge these gaps and provide a clearer basis for launch strategy.

The analysis

We began with a structured review of the existing literature to identify prevalence data across the proposed indications. This was enhanced with forecasting models to estimate future burden and filtered by population variables such as geography and demographics. To contextualise this, we analysed competitor pipelines, approved treatments, and pricing across relevant markets. Our digital intelligence team also ran a listening exercise to understand how competitors were being perceived by patients and clinicians online

The solution

We brought everything together in a set of tailored intelligence boards. These made it easy for the client to explore different market scenarios, weigh trade-offs between indications, and pressure-test their assumptions. Alongside the visual tools, we provided strategic recommendations on which launch paths looked most promising, factoring in prevalence, unmet need, likely pricing, and readiness for market.

The value to the client

This wasn’t just about filling a knowledge gap. It gave the client a way to make confident, evidence-led choices in the face of uncertainty. With a clearer view of the landscape, they were able to shape their internal strategy, align stakeholders, and move forward with greater conviction.

Ongoing support

Since the initial analysis, we’ve continued to support the team with live epidemiology models and landscape updates. As they refine their messaging and move closer to launch, our tools evolve with them to ensure decisions remain grounded in the most current data.
