Prime matter is the base substance everything is made from. We refine it — pairing deep scientific expertise with proven operational and strategic execution. Two partners, evidence-led work, outcomes you can measure.
You work directly with the people doing the work — not an account manager and a slide deck. Every engagement is led personally by one or both partners, scoped to what we can genuinely deliver, and grounded in data rather than generalities.
We don't claim to do everything. We do a focused set of things well, and we'll tell you plainly when a problem sits outside that set.
Many engagements are governed by NDAs. Discretion is part of the service.
Each service is owned by the partner who delivers it — so you always know exactly who is doing the work.
Diagnosing where organisations lose time, money, and clarity — then redesigning the processes that fix it.
Bringing the rigour of an international evaluator to scientific strategy, regulatory pathways, and research assessment.
A consultancy is only as good as what it has actually delivered. A few examples.
Miguel leads operational and strategic engagements. Over thirteen years at Portugal's largest telecommunications operator he directed more than 150 projects in operations, process transformation, and customer experience; today he also advises the President of a Lisbon parish council on institutional reform. He holds a Master's in International Relations (IE, Madrid), a degree in Philosophy (University of Maryland), and an Executive MBA. Having spent much of his life abroad, he works fluently across cultures and institutions.
Rosa leads scientific consulting and evaluation. A researcher at iMed.ULisboa (Faculty of Pharmacy, Universidade de Lisboa) and university lecturer, she has authored 44 peer-reviewed publications — most in Q1 journals — and sits on the editorial board of Pharmaceutics. As an evaluator she has assessed research for the European Commission, EFSA, EIT Health, Eurostars, COST, the FAO, and national science agencies across Europe, and chaired a €34M+ transnational evaluation call. She brings that same rigour and scientific integrity to every engagement.
