The market has the answers. Most searches never ask.
Before you open a critical search, invest in a market, or plan succession - buy the evidence first. Fixed scope, fixed timeline, and a report you keep.
Qualigence ran research-first search before the industry had a name for it. In life sciences - pharma, medical device, clinical - that discipline is the edge. You cannot screen for evidence you have never mapped.
