Functional Demonstrators and Concepts for Budget Approval

Written by Michael Collasius | 31/10/2024

Securing the necessary financial resources can be a significant challenge. A working demonstrator or functional model is highly persuasive to decision makers as it significantly reduces project risk.

As a development service provider with over 30 years of experience and unique expertise in molecular diagnostics, protein and cell analysis, we can help you realise initial concepts and functional demonstrators quickly and with minimal investment.

 

1. Convincing Decision Makers Needs Trust

Decision-makers must be convinced that the project is not only feasible but also financially viable. Key challenges include:

  • Comprehensive Project Planning: Detailed timelines and resource estimates are essential to demonstrate the project's feasibility.
  • Cost-Benefit Analyses: Presenting the financial value and long-term benefits to justify the investment.
  • Risk Management: Identifying and mitigating project and technological risks to reassure stakeholders.

 

2. Trust Requires Understanding

Extensive experience in building complex life science tools and analytical diagnostic platforms, particularly in molecular diagnostics, protein, and cell analysis, allows us to develop concepts and demonstrators swiftly and cost-effectively.

Our expertise spans sample handling, sample preparation, sample modification, labeling, liquid handling, fluorescence analysis, high-resolution optics, and mass spectrometry. These capabilities enable you to make informed decisions early and advance your projects efficiently. Choose us as your partner and benefit from proven methodologies and deep understanding of these specialized areas. 

 

3. Approach: From Idea to Demonstrator

Together with you, we analyse and create the requirements for your system. We then develop initial concepts and create a functional demonstrator within a few weeks. This process ensures that your ideas are implemented quickly and efficiently, serving as a compelling tool to convince decision-makers of your project's feasibility and value.
Our approach includes:

  • Thorough Consultation: Understanding your project goals and requirements.
  • Concept Development: Crafting initial products concepts including project plan with timelines and resource allocations.
  • Rapid Prototyping: Developing a functional demonstrator to showcase the feasibility and potential of your idea.

 

4. Understanding Needs Excellent Information

Rapidly providing demonstrators allows you to gather early feedback from stakeholders and end-users, leading to more informed decisions and targeted development. A functional demonstrator significantly enhances your chances of securing budget approval and attracting investments by offering a convincing, fact-based plan with minimized risks.
This includes:

  • Alignment to a concept: A convincing concept aligns the various stakeholders towards one goal.
  • Demonstrating Feasibility: A working prototype shows that your idea is practical and achievable.
  • Highlighting Value: Clearly illustrating the potential financial and operational benefits.
  • Reducing Perceived Risk: Providing a tangible example mitigates concerns about project risks

 

5. Success Stories

Several life science tool and diagnostic firms have already benefited from our abilities. For instance, a leading diagnostics company presented a functional demonstrator within just six weeks with our support.

This swift development was instrumental in securing critical investments and advancing the project rapidly, helping them make sound investment decisions.

 

Conclusion

The rapid and cost-effective development of demonstrators can make a decisive difference in the success of your project and the approval of your budget.
With over 30 years of experience and unique expertise in biological-medical applications, we help you bring your ideas to life quickly and efficiently.
