Internal Lab Buildout Strategy

Secondary Research

• Conducted analysis of key technologies and platforms to understand potential use cases and fit for client needs in the lab build
• Evaluated the tangible and intangible value of an internal lab and trade-offs between internal build vs. outsourcing

‍Primary Research

• Conducted 25 telephone interviews with, lab directors, and technology KOLs to gather insights on platform / workflow requirements and evolving landscape (e.g., regulatory)
• Conducted 14 internal interviews to determine internal hypotheses, anticipated sample volumes and associated costs

Quantitative Analysis

• Built a comprehensive financial model, including CapEx / OpEx to calculate the breakeven time frame using sample volume projections
• Determined NPV under various model scenarios

‍

DeciBio delivered a presentation to the leadership team, key takeaways included:

• Recommendation for an internal build based on cost savings and additional intangible benefits
• Evaluation of associated risks of build
• Determined lab design configurations and built roadmap (e.g., personnel requirements, CLIA/CAP, instruments, layout etc.)
