Deterministic scores · rules-based, not AIiHow these scores are obtained: each one is computed from this profile's listed attributes — capability checkboxes, certifications, capacity figures and coverage — by a fixed formula, recomputed on every page load. Deterministic and rules-based means the score comes from a fixed, transparent formula over listed attributes — the same inputs always produce the same score. It is not AI: there is no model, no learning, and no hidden weighting. Whether a score is relevant to you depends on your specific project: a capability that raises the number may not matter for your work, and a niche strength your project needs may barely move it. Capability scores are a directional starting point, not a verdict. A lower score does not disqualify a company or consultant, and no decision should rest on the score alone — always contact the company directly to confirm the specifics for your project.
Lab capability iCounts what the profile lists across three areas: service categories add 2.5 points each (capped at 40), analytical platforms (bioanalytical, genomics, immunogenicity, and cell-and-gene-therapy assays combined) add 2 points each (capped at 30), and therapeutic areas add 3 points each (capped at 30). Levels: 80+ Comprehensive lab | 60-79 Broad capability | 40-59 Established | below 40 Emerging. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.

Accreditation iAdds fixed points for each accreditation held: CAP 20, ISO 15189 14, CLIA 12, GCLP 12, ISO 17025 10, GLP 10, GMP 8. Inspection history adds more: 4 points per listed authority (up to 14) with a no-findings outcome, 3 per authority (up to 8) with minor findings, or 4 flat when authorities are listed without an adverse (OAI or VAI) outcome. Levels: 80+ Fully accredited | 60-79 Strong | 40-59 Established | below 40 Developing. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.

Scientific depth iAdds fixed points for each scientific capability the profile checks: genomics sequencing 18, cell-and-gene-therapy testing 18, immunogenicity testing 16, bioanalysis 16, biomarker testing 16, companion diagnostics 8, and flow cytometry 8. Levels: 80+ Cutting-edge | 60-79 Advanced | 40-59 Developing | below 40 Foundational. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
0Foundational
Logistics reach iRegions supported add 7 points each, capped at 45, plus fixed points for shipping capabilities: cold chain 12, cryogenic transport 12, customs expertise 10, and 7 each for dry ice, sample collection kits, and ambient transport. 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.

Quality iBuilt from reported metrics: on-time delivery rate contributes up to 35 points (0.35 per percent), average turnaround earns 25 at 3 days or less, 18 at up to 7, 10 at up to 14, else 3; deviation and repeat-testing rates each start at 20 and lose 2 points per percentage point. Shows Not reported (score 0) when neither on-time delivery nor turnaround is provided. 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
Trial readiness iEach supported trial phase (1 through 4) adds 9 points (max 36), therapeutic areas add 2.5 each (capped at 24), and completed studies add 1 point per 20 studies (capped at 20), plus 10 each for GCLP and GMP compliance. Levels: 80+ Trial-ready | 60-79 Strong | 40-59 Established | below 40 Emerging. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
