Recommended Budget Allocation

AAV9-CAPN3, 70%
siRNA, 20%
mAb, 10%

Concentrate on AAV9-CAPN3 (lead program with strongest competitive position). Maintain siRNA-NASH at POC level. Defer mAb-CNS until lead reaches IND-enabling.

Target & Indication Evaluation

  • Per-program multidimensional assessment
  • Head-to-head comparison matrix with scores
  • Prioritization recommendation with rationale
  • Next-study plan per program
  • Portfolio budget and timeline
  • Board narrative with strategic positioning

FAQ

About These Deliverables

What to expect, how they are customized, and what happens after delivery

Are these real deliverables?+

These are anonymized, illustrative samples based on a fictional company (NovaBio Therapeutics). They represent the format, depth, and structure of what BridgeLine delivers, but every real engagement is customized to the specific program, modality, therapeutic area, and stage.

What format do deliverables come in?+

Deliverables are typically delivered as polished PDF documents with supporting Excel models where applicable. Preclinical roadmaps include visual timelines, study-level budgets, and CRO shortlists. Target & indication evaluations include heat maps and per-program scoring. Readiness packages include gap analysis dashboards and Q&A preparation guides.

How is the scope of a deliverable set?+

Scope, depth, and timeline are set on the scoping call based on the decision in front of the program.

What happens after I receive the deliverable?+

Every engagement includes a walkthrough call to review the deliverable, answer questions, and discuss next steps. Ongoing advisory support is available when useful.
