Biosecurity Diligence Sprint
A two-week independent technical due-diligence engagement on a specific biosecurity, surveillance, or outbreak-forecasting product — for investors, agencies, and primes deciding who fills the gap left by the Ginkgo Biosecurity wind-down.
You have a procurement or investment decision and the vendor's claims need an honest second read.
Wastewater surveillance vendors, metagenomic sequencing platforms, outbreak forecasting startups, AI triage tools for emerging diseases — the post-Ginkgo procurement window has more options than buyers can evaluate. The Diligence Sprint is for impact investors, public health agencies, and primes who need a structured, independent technical review on a two-week clock.
What you get
- A structured diligence memo covering modeling validity, defensibility of claimed sensitivity and specificity, operational fit for the intended deployment context, and key risks.
- A 60-minute debrief with the decision-maker.
- Open evaluation framework, confidential application. The methodology used is public; the client-specific findings are confidential within the embargo terms.
How the engagement unfolds
Materials review & vendor questions
Review the product brief, technical documentation, validation data, and any published claims. Submit a structured question list to the vendor where possible.
Analysis & memo
Independent technical review against the published evaluation framework. Deliver the diligence memo. Hold the 60-minute decision-maker debrief.
What this engagement will not do
This is not a marketing review. If the conclusion is "the claimed sensitivity is not supported by the validation data presented," that is what the memo will say. Conflict-of-interest disclosure is part of every engagement. See Operating Principles.
