What I do

Product and cost decisions

Should you buy that equipment? Does the margin survive scale-up? I build a model with your real numbers and tell you what it says.

Claims and label review

If your label says a product treats, prevents or cures something, FDA can treat it as a drug. I find those lines and rewrite them so they still sell.

Case study

Case study: Mora Cué, chia protein

David came to me to choose equipment. The real question was which product to make and at what scale. I modeled three directions with his numbers. The answer was protein concentrate at mid scale, with a 41% gross margin. They built it and launched.
