How It Works

Evidence-Based Milestone Prediction

Input your device parameters. Our proprietary analysis framework compares your device against documented outcomes to predict probability of reaching each milestone.

Key Milestones We Track

FDA Clearance/Approval

Probability of achieving 510(k), De Novo, or PMA approval based on your regulatory strategy and demonstrated clinical evidence.

First Commercial Sale

Timeline and probability of generating initial revenue based on your market entry strategy and competitive landscape.

Reimbursement Coverage

Likelihood of achieving reimbursement policy coverage and average reimbursement rate based on your category and evidence.

Clinical Adoption Threshold

Probability of crossing adoption inflection point with physicians based on clinical adoption barriers and competitive context.

Profitability Timeline

Projected pathway to profitability based on your market size assumptions, manufacturing costs, and unit economics.

Scale-up Success

Risk factors that most commonly derail scaling in your category and your mitigation strategy.

Redacted example — Orthopedic implant company, 18-month assessment window. Shaded area represents confidence interval.

Sample Insight

Devices in the orthopedic implant category that lack a reimbursement strategy at 510(k) submission have a 78% probability of failing to reach profitability within 5 years — compared to 23% for those with payer engagement already underway.

Pattern Match

This company's pre-clearance profile most closely resembles 3 successful exits and 2 documented failures in our database. The differentiating factor: manufacturing scalability planning initiated before first commercial sale.

What Changes Between Milestones?

Your Vantage Score isn't static. As you clear FDA hurdles, your regulatory risk drops — but commercial risk often increases as you face reimbursement, adoption, and scaling challenges for the first time. Trajectory analysis tracks how each of the proprietary framework categories shifts as you progress, so you're always focused on the risks that matter now, not the ones you've already addressed.

Built on Our Framework

The Vantage Risk Methodology

Trajectory analysis is built on our proprietary framework and grounded in documented device outcomes. We assess your device across all proprietary framework categories, identify probability gaps that impact each milestone, and provide concrete recommendations for improvement.

Retrospective Accuracy: Our framework achieves 96% accuracy in predicting which devices will encounter material risk factors based on retrospective analysis of documented outcomes.
