Ways to collaborate — and their status

Ways to collaborate — and their status
Model	What it involves	Status
Fee-for-service sequencing / bioinformatics	Coordinated sequencing and analysis for a defined project.	Available via validated / partner workflows
Pilot study support	Scoped pilots to test feasibility before a larger study.	Available
Report-framework co-development	Co-designing a structured, method-bounded report layer.	Requires scoping
Cohort & longitudinal studies	Cross-sectional and repeated-measure microbiome designs.	Requires scoping
Validation-oriented collaborations	Method/workflow validation projects (not clinical validation unless approved).	Requires scoping
Publication / grant support	Discussed during scoping; offered only where founder-approved.	Discuss during scoping

FAQ

Collaboration questions

Can you work with university or hospital research teams?

Yes — we work with academic, clinical-research and biotech teams on research-use, consent-aware projects. Data governance and ethics context are confirmed during scoping.

Can you help with study design?

Yes — we can help decide sample type, method, metadata, cohort design, sequencing depth, deliverables and reporting framework during scoping.

Do you support publications or grants?

This is discussed during scoping and offered only where founder-approved. We do not claim publication or grant outcomes.

Are outputs diagnostic?

No. Outputs are research-use and method-bounded unless a separately approved, formally contracted pathway exists.

How is consent and data governance handled?

Consent and governance context are confirmed during scoping. De-identified aggregate reporting is only used where consent and governance allow.
