Two regulatory routes with very different timescales, run deliberately in parallel so the fast one funds and de-risks the slow one.
Every item is fundable, measurable and dated. Nothing here depends on an approval we do not control.
The first use of funds. Until priority applications exist the combinations are unprotected and the company is hard to value. Filing also unlocks the scientific disclosure needed for partnership discussions.
Converts screening data into the characterisation data regulators and partners recognise. Serial passage answers the central scientific question: does resistance develop more slowly against a three-target combination?
Determines dossier scope and what may lawfully be claimed in each market. Whether the product is a feed material, a zootechnical additive or a veterinary medicine changes cost, timeline and value materially.
The single result that determines whether this becomes a product. Designed to EFSA data standards so the same study serves both regulatory tracks rather than being repeated later at full cost.
Batch-to-batch consistency is this category's documented failure mode. Botanical potency varies with growing conditions, harvest and extraction, so a validated potency assay is a competitive asset in itself.
Converts a laboratory result into a route to a customer.
Revenue, field data, and proof that producers will pay — the three things that change the terms of the next round.
The capability the founding team does not currently have, recruited once there is data worth commercialising.
The programme uses two coordinated tracks rather than pretending one regulatory route fits every market.
Programme target: reduce duplicated studies. This is not a guaranteed regulatory timetable.
