How it works
A sourcing process built around your requirements.
ArgusBio is developing a managed, AI-assisted sourcing service for emerging biopharma. Your team defines the need and makes the decision. We help organize the search, vendor engagement, and proposal comparison.
Where we are: ArgusBio is recruiting founding biotech partners. This page describes how the service is designed to run. It is not a record of completed sourcing engagements.

The brief
Built around your sourcing brief
Requirements, scope, timeline, constraints, and evaluation criteria are agreed with you before any vendor is approached.
Confidentiality
You control what is shared
You approve what project information can be shared, with whom, and when. Sensitive project information is not sent to vendors without your authorization.
Proposals
Comparable, not just cheapest
We aim to set out pricing, scope, assumptions, deliverables, exclusions, and timelines side by side, rather than treat the lowest nominal quote as automatically best.
Your decision
The decision remains yours
Your team retains technical qualification, vendor selection, contracting, and applicable regulatory oversight. ArgusBio does not certify vendors or guarantee their quality, capacity, cost, or contract terms.
Where we start
Clinical biometrics first
We are beginning with biostatistics, statistical programming, clinical data management, and related services, and plan to start with a small number of founding biotech partners and their upcoming needs.
