QBIView Standard + Advisory

The expert-led version of the Standard assessment.

Standard + Advisory is QBIView Standard with the full advisory wrap: founder and team interviews, full data-room review, scientific claims analysis, field-translation modelling, regulatory pathway under the relevant geographies, IP and patent landscape, competitive benchmarking, and explicit commercial outcome scenarios.

Every Standard + Advisory engagement closes with a QBI Verdict (Go, Conditional, or No-Go) and specific deal-term restructuring recommendations. The deliverable is built to be read by an investment committee. The work is led directly by Dr. de Quadros, with Expert Network specialists assembled around the specific technology, regulatory geography, and commercial setting.

The Process

How an engagement runs.

Scoping

Confirm scope, geographies, timeline, and which Expert Network specialists are assembled. Engagement letter and NDA executed.

Discovery

Receive the data room. Interview founders, technical leads, and (where appropriate) reference customers and field partners.

Analysis

Apply the full QBIView Standard framework. Run scenarios. Conduct independent IP and regulatory work. Pressure-test claims against external evidence.

Verdict

Deliver the written report and the IC debrief call. Optional follow-up to support deal-term negotiation or post-investment risk monitoring.

Standard + Advisory is a custom-scoped engagement. Pricing reflects the breadth of geographies, the depth of patent and regulatory work, and the number of Expert Network specialists engaged. Confirmed at engagement-letter stage.
