Manufacturing iCounts how many of the 22 core manufacturing capabilities this profile lists (7 drug-substance, 6 drug-product, 5 advanced-therapy, 4 specialized) - each adds 3.6 points, capped at 78 - plus 2.4 points per therapeutic area covered, capped at 22. Levels: 80+ Full-spectrum CDMO | 60-79 Broad capability | 40-59 Established | below 40 Focused. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
7Focused
Advanced therapy iCounts the 5 advanced-therapy capabilities (cell therapy, gene therapy, viral vectors, CAR-T, exosomes) at 11 points each, capped at 50, then adds bonuses for related depth: biologics drug substance 14, mRNA 12, viral vectors 10, CAR-T 8, plasmid DNA 6. Levels: 80+ ATMP leader | 60-79 Advanced | 40-59 Emerging | below 40 Limited. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
0Limited
Fill-finish iCounts the 6 fill-finish capabilities (vial, syringe, cartridge, blow-fill-seal, isolator, RABS) at 8 points each, capped at 42, plus 16 for sterile injectables, 12 for isolator filling, 8 for RABS. Suite count adds up to 22 more (22 at 20+ suites, 16 at 10+, 10 at 5+, 5 for any). Levels: 80+ High-capacity sterile | 60-79 Strong | 40-59 Capable | below 40 Developing. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
0Developing
Quality iBlends GMP certification (16), Annex 1 compliance (14) and a data-integrity program (10) with reported metrics: inspection pass rate up to 24, quality score up to 18, plus bonuses for low CAPA counts (up to 8) and few audit findings last year (up to 10 for zero). Shows Not reported (score 0) when no GMP flag, pass rate, quality score or data-integrity program is on file. Levels: 80+ Exceptional | 60-79 Strong | 40-59 Solid | below 40 Developing. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
0Not reported
Regulatory iCounts entries in three profile lists: regulatory history (6 points each, capped at 46), inspection authorities (7 points each, capped at 30) and geographic coverage (6 points each, capped at 24). More filings, more agencies and wider geography all raise the score. Levels: 80+ Global reach | 60-79 Multi-region | 40-59 Regional | below 40 Limited. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
6Limited
Capacity iTiers four scale metrics: facilities (up to 28 points at 30+), manufacturing suites (up to 24 at 40+), annual unit capacity (up to 26 at 1,000,000+) and employee count (up to 22 at 10,000+). Each metric earns partial points at lower tiers, so any reported scale contributes. Levels: 80+ Global scale | 60-79 Large | 40-59 Mid-size | below 40 Boutique. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
