FDA unveils rules for bespoke gene therapies, predicting a flood of rare disease applications via a new 'plausible mechanism' pathway.
Create a 'Regulatory-as-a-Service' platform that templates FDA applications for the 'plausible mechanism pathway.' Provide the software layer for proprietary manufacturing processes that allow for rapid, templated approvals. Mitigate payer insolvency risks by building a 'reinsurance calculator' into the platform to help biotechs pitch to insurers. Target a $10B+ annual service market.
This shifts biotech from 'blockbuster' models to 'platform' models for 7,000+ rare diseases.

This is a $700B theoretical market if you can address 10% of rare diseases at $1M+ per treatment.
No private insurer can absorb a flood of $2M therapies without a federal mandate.
