Action 5 · Task 209 · Group 11

Stress-Test Economic Models and Evidence Rigour

The founder subjects the economic model and procurement strategy to rigorous sensitivity analysis and expert peer review. They evaluate the confidence level of every clinical parameter, financial assumption, and regulatory prerequisite.

Objective

Critical validation exposes hidden vulnerabilities and unrealistic claims before encountering external procurement scrutiny. This protects the venture from catastrophic commercial rejection due to unverified ROI claims or flawed pathway logic.

What's expected from the founder

A documented sensitivity analysis and evidence assessment audit identifying key assumptions, variance ranges, and risk scores. The founder must categorise evidence strength using recognised standards and detail necessary risk mitigation steps.
