Defining a clear commercial opportunity We look closely at the commercial opportunity before we invest, defining a clear commercial opportunity before we invest, carefully analysing the disease setting, capital requirements and risk involved. A clear commercial opportunity, identified and modelled at the outset, is fundamental to our decision to invest and build a company.
