Temporal design review across the lifecycle

Four focused offerings for teams designing — or evaluating — interventional research. All assessments are currently in early access, under appropriate confidentiality.

Seeking forward-looking validation partners

Retrospective analysis shows a strong association. The next step is prospective evidence. We're offering complimentary deep TDS analysis to a limited number of qualifying sponsors. Sponsors with confidentiality constraints or urgent timelines can move directly to a paid engagement below — this program is for forward-looking validation partners, not a prerequisite.

What we provide

A full-protocol TDS assessment, including component-level scoring, stepwise triage, indication benchmarking, and cost modeling — provided at no cost to qualifying partners in exchange for prospective outcome sharing.

What we ask in return

Implementation of at least two Tier 1 or Tier 2 recommendations, and agreement to share de-identified outcome data at trial completion. Particularly interested in Phase 2 oncology and immunology trials.

Why this matters

"Has improving a TDS score ever changed a trial outcome?" We believe it has — but belief isn't evidence. This program creates the prospective dataset to answer that question definitively.

Four focused offerings, matched to where you are in development

Each engagement applies the same Temporal Design Analysis framework, calibrated for the decision in front of you — from preclinical study design through investor diligence on a clinical-stage asset.

For Small Biotechs & Translational Teams

Phase 1 Protocol Review

First-in-human and dose-finding studies

FDA's Project Optimus guidance and the ICH E20 draft on adaptive designs have raised the bar for Phase 1. Sponsors are now expected to generate exposure-response data rich enough to support optimal biological dose selection — not just maximum tolerated dose. Many Phase 1 protocols still use sampling architectures designed for the older paradigm.

For translational and early-clinical leads, the question is increasingly whether a Phase 1 design will produce a dose decision the Phase 2 team can actually defend — and whether that case can be made before the IND is locked.

Temporal Design Analysis evaluates whether a Phase 1 design captures the PK/PD temporal architecture needed to inform Phase 2, with optional alignment notes referencing current FDA and ICH guidance.

For CROs & Preclinical Teams

Preclinical Protocol Review

IND-enabling and nonclinical studies

Preclinical protocols carry temporal assumptions that are rarely examined — nocturnal activity cycles in rodents, narrow collection windows across large cohorts, satellite versus serial sampling tradeoffs, and washout periods in reused animals. Small misalignments at this stage propagate into noisier IND packages and weaker Phase 1 hypotheses.

Temporal Design Analysis brings the framework validated across 275,000 clinical trials to the design stage of preclinical work, adapted for species-specific biology and study archetypes.

For Life Science Investors

Protocol Intelligence for Diligence

VC and investment teams evaluating clinical-stage opportunities

Life science investors face a recurring problem during clinical-stage diligence: the protocol is the product, but protocol design quality is rarely examined. A trial's measurement architecture strongly influences whether it will generate interpretable data — and that architecture can be assessed on the specific asset you're evaluating.

Temporal Design Analysis gives investors a third-party read on the temporal design quality of the asset under diligence: a TDS score with component breakdown, benchmarked against the de-identified aggregate distribution of historical trials in the same indication. We score the trial you're evaluating — or compare it to anonymized cohort benchmarks — rather than producing unsolicited assessments of other sponsors. For diligence on a specific opportunity, and for portfolio companies reviewing their own protocols.

The Temporal Design Score methodology and related applications are the subject of pending U.S. provisional patent applications owned by Scientari LLC.

The Temporal Design Report

Whichever offering you choose, the deliverable is a short, decision-ready PDF — typically 12 to 18 pages — that your clinical, biostatistics, and translational leads can read in one sitting and act on in the next protocol revision. Written by a trained analyst, not generated and shipped.

Overall TDS score, in context

Your protocol's score on the 0–40 scale, positioned against the indication-matched cohort from our 275,000-trial retrospective database. You see where you land relative to historical successes and failures in your therapeutic area.

Component breakdown

Independent scores for Temporal Alignment, Coverage, Extensibility, and Velocity — with the specific protocol decisions that drove each score. This is where the diagnosis happens.

Identified design gaps

The specific measurement-timing decisions in your current protocol that are most likely to undermine your ability to detect or interpret signal. Ranked by impact, with cohort-level evidence behind each.

Prioritized recommendations

Concrete protocol changes, ranked by impact and cost. Most recommendations re-allocate samples or assays you're already collecting; few require new patient visits. Each is mapped to the gap it closes.

Amendment risk signal

An estimate of whether your protocol's component pattern is likely to require a substantial amendment after enrollment opens — calibrated against the amendment history of trials that scored similarly.

30-minute readout call

The analyst who prepared your report walks your team through the findings, takes questions, and clarifies any recommendation you'd like to push back on. One round of follow-up questions is included.

Internal scoring rubric, component weights, coefficients, or the operational details of the T0–T6 ontology are not included in our reports as they are proprietary to the methodology and protected under our pending patent. What you receive is the output of the analysis: the diagnosis and the recommendations, fully explained in terms of your protocol.
