Independent Structural Risk Assessment for Cryo-EM Programs

Built for decision workflows in structural biology and drug discovery.

Designed to integrate with existing structural biology workflows without disrupting internal processes.

Evaluates reconstructed cryo-EM maps for decision support.
Delivers a concise risk memo to support program-level Go/No-Go alignment prior to additional structural or experimental investment. i Decision-focused assessment of reconstructed cryo-EM maps, summarized in a concise risk memo to support program-level Go/No-Go decisions prior to further structural or experimental investment.

Operates as a risk assessment function with experience in large-scale structural data environments.

Standard NDA template available. Compatible with standard client procurement processes.

Scope

  • Accepted inputs: reconstructed maps (.mrc / .map)
  • Evaluation focus: map consistency, regional confidence, ligand pose support (if applicable) iMap-level review of density evidence for structural consistency and region-specific confidence. Where a ligand interpretation is provided, ligand pose support is assessed from density evidence only (not docking, pose generation, or simulation).
  • Exclusions: no raw data processing, no particle picking, no map reconstruction, no full structure delivery iScope excludes micrograph preprocessing, particle picking/extraction, 3D reconstruction, and atomic model building/delivery. This service is a decision-oriented map assessment based on reconstructed cryo-EM maps.

Deliverables (Decision-Ready)

  • Executive Risk Memo with explicit assumption & uncertainty framing iDecision-focused document summarizing structural evidence quality and uncertainty.
  • Quantitative structural consistency indicatorsiQuantitative measures describing density coherence and interpretability.
  • Region-level confidence assessmentiLocalized reliability estimates across spatial segments of the density map.
  • Decision-impact summary suitable for internal review decks
  • Applicable before downstream computational modeling (including FEP) or experimental commitment

Engagement Model

  • Engagement format: rapid triage, case review, or program support iFlexible scope based on a single decision point or broader program needs.
  • Procurement-ready: one-off or repeat engagements under NDA iCan be set up as a single assessment or repeated work under an existing NDA.
  • Decision timing: aligned to stage-gates and Go/No-Go checkpoints iDesigned to support internal decision points before further modeling or experiments.
  • Commercial model: project-based billing, case-specific scope iPricing is scoped per case based on complexity and turnaround.

Built for industry decision workflows and lean team operations.

Confidentiality & Data Governance

  • Reconstructed maps only (no raw data required).
  • Encrypted transfer options available.iSecure data transmission using industry-standard cryptographic protocols.
  • Client data is segregated per engagement.iData isolation ensuring no cross-project access or commingling.
  • No cross-project reuse or incorporation into shared datasets.
  • No model training or data retention beyond the agreed scope.iDuration of stored client data prior to secure deletion.
  • Default deletion within 30 days unless otherwise agreed.
  • NDA available upon request.
  • Designed to minimize IP exposure and align with client confidentiality requirements.
