Before you commit budget to a product launch, an R&D programme, or an engineering brief you haven't validated, someone needs to tell you honestly whether the science and the regulatory pathway actually support it. That is what I do. I am a bioprocess engineer and innovation strategist. I use lean, design-thinking methodology to de-risk science-based product concepts before you commit to the full build: validating the mechanism of action, stress-testing feasibility through structured stage-gates, and mapping the regulatory pathway that applies. I work with founders and programme owners in functional food and beverage, nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, herbal products, and early-stage bioproducts. I also conduct cross-jurisdictional regulatory research and translate complex scientific evidence into actionable insights. You get a defensible Go/No-Go grounded in first principles, not a hedged summary. Recent work includes: an 80-hour feasibility study that produced a stage-gated Go/No-Go and advanced a product to its next phase; cross-referencing EU and South African regulatory frameworks to produce parliamentary and stakeholder advocacy briefs; structured evidence reviews of botanical and bioactive ingredients; and rigorous claim substantiation work under FDA and FTC frameworks. If you have a process concept, a product question, or an evidence gap where being wrong is expensive, message me to schedule a consultation.
