Decision Support For Committee Modelling

Keep sourced hub facts separate from committee assumptions while still running allocation scenarios.

DEAP Crash now ships with separate single-hub demos for Edinburgh BioQuarter, LifeArc, and BioCity Scotland. Each demo frames the decision as one hub manager selecting the portfolio that best advances that hub's own goals and milestones.

Who It Helps

Analysts and funding committees that need a defensible split between sourced public material and round-specific modelling assumptions.

Core Promise

Show the observed facts, the committee assumptions, and the calculated outputs as separate layers throughout the workflow.

End Result

A committee-ready scenario pack that does not pretend guessed budgets or rubric scores were public facts.

The Question This Product Answers

Given limited capital, lab capacity, translational support, and policy constraints, how should resources be allocated across a biomedical portfolio, and what trade-offs does that choice create?

What You Can Learn In 10 Minutes

The seeded single-hub demos are the fastest way to see the product working honestly.

Open one hub manager context at a time instead of a blended multi-hub portfolio.
See each hub's own goals, target milestones, and candidate project mix.
Compare equal, need-based, frontier, and hybrid allocation scenarios.

1. Capture portfolio reality

Store hub, public stage, public funding facts, and evidence summaries as the observed layer.

2. Make assumptions explicit

Store requested budgets, minimum viable budgets, milestone costs, screening passes, and rubric scores as committee inputs.

3. Compare outcomes clearly

Run the same portfolio through equal, need-based, frontier, and hybrid strategies with capped redistribution.

Recommended Starting Point

Start with one hub-specific manager demo before creating your own portfolio.

Each seeded demo is scoped to one hub, carries that hub's own goals and target milestones, and asks which project portfolio best advances that mission under a constrained committee budget.

Edinburgh BioQuarter Demo

Which project mix best advances BioQuarter's imaging and diagnostic translation goals inside a constrained committee round?

LifeArc Demo

Which project mix best advances LifeArc's MND validation and early-detection goals in the current round?

BioCity Scotland Demo

Which project mix best advances BioCity's capability-expansion and manufacturing goals under a limited round budget?

How The Workflow Fits Together

A new user should be able to move through the product in this order.

Overview: understand the budget tension and the current portfolio shape.
Projects: review observed facts, committee assumptions, and calculated outputs side by side.
Policy: inspect the fixed DEAP formulas and capping rule used in the demo.
Scenario Lab: run the same portfolio under equal, need-based, frontier, and hybrid strategies.
Results and Brief: compare the trade-offs and capture the reasoning.

What Makes This Different

The product is designed to support judgement, not hide it.

Observed facts are explicitly separated from committee assumptions.
Scenario outputs are deterministic rather than generated by a hidden model.
AI assistance is optional and limited to memo drafting at the reporting edge.
