The Index › Metabolic medicine

Who supplies the making and delivery of the drugs?

The companies that make the ingredients, devices and capacity the new drugs need to be made and delivered.

The waterfall's proof point: Metabolic medicine: laboratory throughput is the productivity lift's nearest proof point, and it reports in pipeline data on a clock of quarters.

Businesses keep adopting AI, but the economy-wide productivity lift does not arrive before 2028.

What would prove us wrong

Productivity jumps much sooner than we expect, or adoption stops spreading.
