Where science, politics and business meet
- Science
PhD-level research sits inside the firm: health policy and health economics, outcome measures and clinical research, with 25 peer-reviewed publications behind it. We read the evidence ourselves, and we have produced some of it.
- Politics
We have advised policymakers, payers and dental trade unions in six countries, including on two €10bn national dental agreements. We know how a reimbursement decision is made, because we were in the room when it was.
- Business
We are advised by senior leaders from every part of dentistry: manufacturers, distributors, payers and practitioners. With 15+ commercial due diligences for funds and corporates, delivered in partnership with Candesic, the number one consultancy in dentistry worldwide, we know what a buyer needs to see and what a seller must prove.
Most firms cover one of these three. Dental decisions sit on all of them at once.
Strategy, with the implementation attached
A recommendation is only finished when it runs. We build the tool, run the survey, write the code and see the result through with your teams.
- 01Strategy and implementation together
We stay after the final presentation. The model becomes a live tool, the survey becomes a platform, the plan becomes a roadmap your teams run with us.
- 02We build it
Databases, survey engines, forecasting models, training games, field-force tools. Coded by us, tailored to the question, delivered working.
- 03Data the sector runs on
National claims data, procedure codes, registers, customs lines and company filings, read with our own workflows rather than bought as a report.
- 04Senior only, dental only
One partner on every engagement, a network of senior clinicians, operators and payer-side executives, and nothing outside dentistry.
Problems we were asked to solve, and what we built to solve them.
Anonymised where the mandate requires it.
