Designing a productised market access firm for the bottom of the pyramid

The argument behind the firm. Why the £15–60k segment is structurally underserved, what changes when methodology, evidence and AI are productised rather than bespoke per engagement, and how this changes the economics of what an early-stage medtech can afford to buy. Co-authored with James Barlow.

Coming Q4 2026

The year-2 cliff: why pilots stall and what to do about it

A working draft, building on the cliff methodology developed for the Phyxiom engagement.

We argue it is structural rather than commercial, and outline what a Phase 4 retainer relationship actually does.
