This philosophy drives both of our proprietary systems: Access Threat Response™ and Launch Shield™.

Our Core Focus: Speed, Alignment, & Evidence That Works Now

In a shifting access landscape, delay is the wrong decision. Our process is designed to:

  • Move faster than the access threat.

  • Align cross-functional teams under pressure.

  • Build decisive cases with relevant evidence today, not perfect data tomorrow.

The Alkemi Access Threat Response System™

The ideal choice for when access or evidence is already under threat. This 4-step system is proven to address and resolve acute threats in 90 days. You’ll achieve fast resolution, stronger positioning, and renewed payer confidence.

CIRAAS: Our Framework For Success

Innovative treatments fail commercially because of avoidable mistakes

  • Missed opportunities to build the right evidence

  • Focusing on the wrong decision-makers

  • Reacting too slowly to competitive, policy, or payer shifts

Markets move fast, especially in disruptive therapeutic areas with high unmet need. But when value and access strategies can’t keep pace, even breakthrough innovations lose momentum.

That’s why we built a six-part framework for evidence, value, and access planning—helping biotech teams anticipate threats, align stakeholders, and secure lasting access.

Our Framework is CIRAAS.
To successfully address any present and future evidence or access threat, a response or plan must deliver on these six objectives.

This success requirement applies to working with both your internal and external decision-makers.

Our promise: every project we deliver meets this criteria.
Credible
Stakeholders believe it
Insightful
It reveals what others miss
Robust
Works when conditions changes
Articulate
Audience understands it
Actionable
Team can execute it
Sustainable
Solves long-term problem

Senior experts lead every project. No hand-offs. No wasted time. Just clarity and results.

Why Teams Under Pressure Trust Alkemi

Alkemi was founded by industry veterans who saw too many preventable access crises. Treatments lost ground not from weak science, but from delays, siloed plans, and slow consultants.

We built our systems to change that. The result?

  • Policy reversals contained in 6 weeks.

  • Competitor evidence neutralized in 45 days.

  • Teams aligned and ready when it mattered most.
