Five mission families.
One scientific standard.
Each mission is built around the decision to be made, the evidence available and the expertise required — never around a standard template.
R&D strategy and scientific programmes
An organisation must define, structure, prioritise or redirect a scientific programme — from fundamental research through to maturation and development.
Discuss an R&D programmeScientific direction
- Fundamental and applied research strategy
- Axis selection and prioritisation
- Targets, indications and programmes
- Go/no-go criteria
Programme design
- End-to-end R&D programme
- Scientific roadmap
- Experimental strategy
- Milestones, dependencies and resources
Scientific governance
- Scientific Advisory Board
- Outsourced scientific direction
- Work monitoring
- Independent results review
Valorisation and funding
- Benchmarking and monitoring
- Maturation and transfer
- Results valorisation
- Scientific strategy for grants and calls for projects
Scientific and technical due diligence
An investment, acquisition or partnership rests on scientific, technological and operational assumptions that must be examined independently.
Prepare a due diligenceExpertia does not replace financial due diligence. We examine the science, technology, data, teams and risks behind the projections.
Science and evidence
- Scientific due diligence
- Scientific foundation review
- Data and results analysis
- Robustness and reproducibility
Technology and product
- Technical due diligence
- Technology due diligence
- Technology maturity
- Product, platform and scalability
Programme and organisation
- R&D programme review
- Team assessment
- Critical dependencies
- Management questions
Transaction decision
- Red-flag assessment
- Technical benchmark
- Asset analysis
- Buy-side and sell-side support
IP, technology and intangible assets
A technology is not reducible to a patent. Its value depends on the science, know-how, differentiation, maturity and its capacity to be protected, transferred or exploited.
Assess a scientific assetLegal analyses are conducted with or by qualified professionals when the mission requires it.
Positioning
- State of the art
- Patent landscape
- Technology benchmark
- Scientific differentiation
Protection
- Prior-art review
- Freedom to operate
- Know-how analysis
- Protection strategy
Asset analysis
- Patent portfolio
- Software and data
- Technology platforms
- Intangible assets
Valorisation
- Licensing
- Technology transfer
- Maturation
- Transaction readiness
Evidence, content and scientific integrity
A scientific claim, a medical piece of content or a technology narrative engages the credibility of the organisation that publishes it.
Have content reviewedEvidence analysis
- Scientific review
- Literature review
- Critical publication analysis
- Evidence landscape
Validation
- Claims substantiation
- Fact-checking
- Medical or technical review
- Source validation
Content
- Scripts
- Documentaries
- Press
- Corporate communications
Experiences and mediation
- Educational content
- Museum content
- Audiovisual
- Immersive experiences
Engagement solutions
Embedded expert
A specialist joins the client team temporarily — on-site, hybrid or remote.
- rare skill absent from the team
- programme requiring senior reinforcement
- temporary replacement
- peak workload
- critical development phase
- need for daily expert support
Defined scientific or technical mandate
An expert or small team takes ownership of a precise objective with defined results, milestones and governance.
- design and execution of an experimental programme
- preclinical development
- process optimisation
- technology transfer
- qualification and validation
- AI prototype build
- LLM or RAG development
- technical benchmark or evaluation
- rescue of a struggling programme
Fractional or interim leadership
An experienced scientific or technical leader engages on a part-time basis or during a transition period.
- structuring the R&D function
- building and organising a team
- portfolio governance
- preparing for a fundraise or due diligence
- partner coordination
- rescuing a critical programme
Multidisciplinary project team
Expertia assembles a team combining several disciplines around a shared objective.
- preclinical development task force
- biotech or pharma team
- qualification and validation team
- AI, data and architecture team
- technical due diligence cell
- proof-of-concept team
- white-label scientific unit for a partner firm
Our approach
Framing the need
We understand the operational objective, context and constraints before any selection.
Defining the profile or team
We translate the need into precise criteria: discipline, seniority, availability, scope.
Selection and checks
We identify profiles, verify competencies, availability and absence of conflicts of interest.
Onboarding and execution
We organise the expert's integration, define milestones and launch the mission.
Follow-up, quality and transfer
We monitor progress, guarantee quality and ensure knowledge transfer at mission end.
