BaiOS · Venture planning for diagnostics

Business planning for IVD startups.

BaiOS turns an assay into a living plan. Performance evaluation and the conformity route, runway and European funding, all in one place. It is not task management. It tells you which study to buy with the cash you have.

Get startedSee how it worksOne living plan. Evidence, regulation and money, connected.
The problem

A test that works, and no plan that survives IVDR.

The in vitro diagnostic regulation (IVDR) moved most tests into notified body scope. The plans did not move with it. A spreadsheet does not know that a notified body queue is on your critical path. BaiOS does.

01

No operator on the plan

The founder runs assay development, funding and the board update alone, with no CFO, no PMO and no regulatory or quality lead.

02

Two clocks, one model

First revenue and the next round are different dates with different requirements, and the financial model only has room for one of them.

03

Evidence planned apart from the cash

Scientific validity, analytical performance and clinical performance are three studies with three budgets and three durations, tracked outside the financial model.

04

The notified body queue is nobody's line item

The wait for a conformity assessment slot is a real date on the critical path. It rarely appears on a plan until it is late.

05

Reimbursement arrives as a surprise

A CE mark is permission to sell, not a decision to pay. The coding and coverage work starts after the launch date is already promised.

06

European funding is a maze

CDTI, ENISA, EIC, Eurostars, equity and loans, each with its own timing and eligible costs. All of it planned in disconnected spreadsheets.

Milestone-to-Money

How BaiOS connects the gate to the money.

The gate ↔ money relationship is the soul of the product. Change one assumption and the runway, the gates and the funding gap move with it.

Map the product
One master record: company, product, intended use and a living product profile. The plan is contextual, not a pretty agenda.
Sequence the gates
Decision gates, not tasks: each carries minimum criteria, evidence, cost, date, dependencies and a RAG status.
Price each milestone
Every milestone is linked to a cost and to the funding it unlocks. "What if the notified body takes two quarters longer?" is answered in seconds.
Track the runway
Burn-to-milestone and cash-out date, with the revenue line your plan actually has. A runway that knows what a gate is, recomputed server-side.

The engine

Milestone to money, in one chain.

Anyone can tell a founder they have twelve months of cash. The useful sentence names the next milestone, what it costs and what unlocks it. Change one assumption and the runway, the gates and the funding gap all move with it.

The two areas

Two areas, one connected model.

R&D planning is what has to be proven. Financial planning is what it costs and who pays for it. Nothing here is independent: a change in the intended use moves the cost, the timeline, the risk and the story with it.

R&D planning

What has to be achieved, in what order, who runs it, and what proves it.

Company & Product Profile

The master record that makes the software contextual, not just a pretty agenda.

Living product profile

Intended use and performance claims kept alive, not a dead PDF. They are the base of every assumption.

Development Roadmap

A development roadmap you build against your own conformity route, every step costed and dated.

Regulatory Gates

The differentiator: decision gates you define for your pathway. Criteria and go/no-go, not a task list.

Team, capacity & suppliers

Whether the team can actually run the plan, and the CROs and CDMOs it depends on.

Risk register & IP

Living risks with runway impact, and the patent families and exclusivity date the plan has to fit inside.

Financial planning

What it costs, where the money comes from, and what the investor is told.

Financial Plan & Runway

Beyond cash in, cash out: burn-to-milestone and cash-out date.

Milestone cost & funding gap

What each milestone costs, what is funded and what is still missing. Per milestone, not in a total.

Mixed Funding Planner

Equity, grants, loans and business development in one place. It is the European non-dilutive map that US tools ignore.

Scenario Planning

Every assumption automatically impacts cash, milestones and reporting.

Market model

Population, uptake and pricing. It is the revenue line the whole plan is aiming at.

Investor & Board Reporting

The investor and board figures, on one screen, reading from the live plan.

Positioning

What BaiOS is not.

Every alternative owns one slice of the problem. BaiOS ties gate ↔ money together, with European funding logic and Adbaio advisory built in. None of the others have that.

01

Not an eQMS

Greenlight Guru and Qualio hold the quality record beautifully. Neither tells you which study to buy with the cash you have, or what it unlocks.

02

Not Asana with a lab coat

Task tools (Asana, Notion, Monday) have no diagnostics logic: no gates, no product profile, no runway that knows what a milestone is.

03

Not an FP&A app

Runway and Pigment don't know what a performance evaluation is, or that revenue and the next round are two different clocks.

04

Not a regulatory consultancy in a box

BaiOS plans the company. It does not write your technical documentation, and it does not pretend the conformity route is automatable.

05

Not US-only

The venture tools built for this market ignore IVDR and ignore European public funding entirely.

BaiOS + Adbaio

The software keeps the plan alive. The advisor keeps it right.

Adbaio without BaiOS is a great plan that goes stale in a PDF. BaiOS without Adbaio is eighty empty fields a founder abandons. Together they are a living plan with expert judgement embedded in it. The software retains, the advisory reviews it monthly.

Pricing

One workspace, priced by how far you plan.

Monthly, no lock-in. Prices exclude VAT; 21% is added at checkout for Spanish buyers.

Other segments
