Bioprocess engineer and independent consultant for supplement and biotech founders, operators, and programme owners. I am brought in before you commit capital to a claim, a formulation, or a process, to provide evidence and regulatory due diligence, R&D feasibility, and claims review. You get a science-grounded strategic recommendation on whether a claim is defensible, a process concept is viable, and the evidence can survive independent review. Top Rated Plus. 100% Job Success. Selective by design. 🔬 Evidence and regulatory due diligence I deliver rigorous, traceable analysis of whether proposed claims and products are supportable within the regulatory frameworks that govern them. Across seven engagements, I have assessed 47+ individual ingredients and scored 155 marketing claims against their evidence packages. In supplements, this includes FDA structure/function and FTC substantiation analysis. I have applied the same method to pesticide-safety evidence dossiers prepared for parliamentary and civil society use, analysing regulations, global harmonised standards, and cross-jurisdictional application. Typical engagements: A claims-versus-evidence review for a supplement or functional product An ingredient evidence assessment before a formulation is finalised FDA or FTC substantiation analysis for proposed claims Independent verification of evidence produced by your supplier, manufacturer, or AI tool Cross-jurisdictional regulatory analysis and regulatory intelligence, including FDA, FTC, Health Canada, EFSA, EU, and South African frameworks A substantiation dossier or toxicology summary for a specific ingredient ⚙️ R&D, feasibility, and strategy I work at the decision point before engineering spend or build capital is committed, assessing whether the process concept is technically sound, the pathway is practical, and the business case is robust. My feasibility work has supported formal Go/No-Go decisions, operating models, stage-gate governance, and risk registers that address commercial and technical risk together. Typical engagements: A feasibility study or Go/No-Go assessment for a product or process concept A regulatory landscape scan for a new product or market entry An R&D programme structure with a risk register and stage-gate governance A process concept review before engineering spend is committed A strategic recommendation on whether to build, partner, or walk away 🔗 My work is defined by method. I establish the assessment framework before the analysis begins. Every claim, paper, or option is tested against explicit criteria and traced to primary sources, so the reasoning is auditable rather than asserted. I benchmark my findings against the version you already hold: a manufacturer's evidence package, a competing classification, an AI-generated dossier, or a study that reaches a different conclusion. Divergence is where risk concentrates, so I identify it before it emerges under review. Gap disclosure is built into the deliverable. You receive a clear view of what is defensible, what is not, and what would need to change for an item to move from unsupported to supportable. If you have a claim, formula, process concept, or evidence pack where the cost of being wrong is high, book a consultation or send me the brief.
