Impact
Measuring what matters, honestly.
We are early. Rather than promise specific impact numbers before we've earned them, we're building proof in a disciplined way through focused pilot collaborations.
Behind every metric is a family waiting for an answer. We measure to make sure the work moves toward them faster.
Pilot Principles
How we approach this work.
Our goal at this stage is not to make broad claims, but to demonstrate real, measurable improvements in how research moves forward.
Define before we build
For each engagement, we define the bottleneck upfront and agree on what success looks like before any work begins.
Measure what matters
We track outcomes, not activities: reduced processing time, improved efficiency, better use of data.
Share what works and what doesn't
Even early results matter, because they show how this approach can work in practice. We publish what we learn, including where we fall short.
How We Measure Impact
The areas we track.
We will publish results in each of these areas as the program matures. No pre-committed numbers, just measurement frameworks we'll report against.
- 01
Research time saved
Hours and weeks reduced on data processing, pipeline development, and analysis tasks that previously bottlenecked research.
- 02
Workflow improvements
Reusable tools, pipelines, and systems delivered to research teams that extend value beyond a single engagement.
- 03
Research outputs
Co-authored papers, datasets, and tools that result from embedded technical work, credited transparently.
- 04
Funding deployed
Direct research funding allocated, with public reporting on how each dollar is used and what it enabled.
In 3–5 years, we expect to show meaningful progress in advancing research toward therapies for rare childhood cancers. Not by claiming a cure, but by clearly accelerating the path toward one.
Cohort 1 Pilot
Pilot launching September 2026.
Cohort 1 is a focused pilot supporting 3–5 pediatric cancer research labs. We will report transparently on what we deliver, what we learn, and what we'd do differently. Applications are open for researchers and fellows.
Reports we will publish as Cohort 1 progresses
