Seven methodologies, each with a declared purpose

They are chosen by the decision in front of you, not from a catalogue. They almost always combine: one maps the terrain, another keeps it measured over time.

  1. 01

    Targeting

    continuous platform · 4 waves/year

    Epidemiology, Usage & Attitudes, Brand Tracker and dynamic forecasting in a single living model, recalibrated every quarter against real prescription. Interactive dashboard included.

  2. 02

    Patient Journey

    ad hoc study · 8–12 weeks

    The full patient route, from symptom to 12-month adherence: diagnostic barriers, intervention windows and the points where the clinical decision is actually made.

  3. 03

    Usage & Attitudes

    quantitative · 6–10 weeks

    Real prescribing habit measured on a verified panel: choice drivers, switching barriers and perceived efficacy and safety against the competitive set.

  4. 04

    Brand Tracker

    longitudinal · quarterly wave

    Positioning measured wave after wave on a fixed panel: Top of Mind, share of prescription, NPS and brand equity, with a read on competitive movement.

  5. 05

    Epidemiological models

    modelling · 4–8 weeks

    Eligible-patient sizing by indication using ENSANUT, IMSS, Ministry of Health data and systematic review. Diagnosis-to-treatment funnel by biomarker, sector and institution.

  6. 06

    Pharmacoeconomics / HEOR

    dossier · 12–20 weeks

    Cost-effectiveness, cost-utility (QALY / ICER) and budget impact built to ISPOR standards, designed to withstand payer review.

  7. 07

    Ad hoc research

    bespoke · per design

    Message recall, copy testing, KOL mapping, advisory boards and real-world evidence. If the question does not fit a format, we design an ad hoc study from scratch.

Compare the seven methodologies

Each page declares minimum sample, field timing, deliverable and the function it answers to.

02 · Methodological rigor

The method is declared before fieldwork begins

Every study ships with its protocol: what was asked, of whom, how the sample was selected and the margin of error each figure carries. Without that, a finding is an expensive opinion.

  1. Phase 01

    Design

    We translate the business question into measurable hypotheses and define universe, sampling frame, inclusion criteria and statistical power. The protocol is signed before recruitment starts.

  2. Phase 02

    Field

    Recruitment from our own panel with professional license and active practice verification. Double quality control: validation at capture and audit of 20% of interviews. We also field on the client's own panel, according to the needs and definitions of the study.

  3. Phase 03

    Analysis

    Weighting to the physician universe, declared significance testing and 95% confidence intervals. Every table travels with its base and its error level.

  4. Phase 04

    Decision

    The report closes with the action: what to do, in what priority, what gets re-measured and when. Working session with your team included.

Standards we apply

  • ISPOR for cost-effectiveness, cost-utility and budget impact models.
  • PRISMA for the systematic review feeding the epidemiological models.
  • LFPDPPP and informed consent for every personal data point collected in the field.
  • Pharmacovigilance: reporting protocol for adverse events detected during interviews.

03 · Who we answer to

Three functions, three different questions

04 · Proprietary panel

Verified specialists, not rented panels

Data quality starts with who answers. We recruit and validate every physician: professional license, specialty, institution and real consultation volume. No one joins the panel without documentary verification.

That enables something a rented panel cannot: reaching exactly the same cohort wave after wave and reading the change instead of the noise.

How the panel is built
  • Validated professional license100% of the roster
  • Verified active clinical practicesemi-annual review
  • Public, institutional and private coverageIMSS · ISSSTE · IMSS-Bienestar · private
  • Stable cohort for longitudinal studiesretention > 80% per wave
  • Typical field time3–6 weeks
  • Specialties with sufficient base15+ · n ≥ 60 each

05 · Case studies

Studies that changed a decision

Projects anonymised under confidentiality agreement. We publish the challenge, the methodology and the decision the study enabled; quantitative results remain the client's property.

Oncology · NSCLC

Time to confirmed diagnosis

The Patient Journey isolated a referral barrier between pulmonology and oncology. Redesigning the message to first-contact physicians shortened the patient route.

Patient Journey

Diabetes · GLP-1

Porcentaje de uso

Four Brand Tracker waves caught the competitor's narrative shift a quarter before the planning cycle. The brand reacted in time.

Biologic · Access

Inclusion in institutional formulary

The pharmacoeconomic dossier withstood review and secured inclusion in the first evaluation cycle, with no round of clarifications.
