Mission: "Fuse the best elements of medical research and mathematical analytics to win the war on human disease and suffering."
The $70 B Problem Nobody Has Fixed
Clinical sponsors spend US $40–70 B yearly on trials that creep phase-by-phase.
Median Phase III oncology cost = US $41 K per patient (JPMorgan 2024 cost study).

30–70% of that spend is avoidable waste (Tufts CSDD brief).

Static Trials = Snapshot Science
Traditional Clinical Data Management (CDM) relies on one-off "snapshots," manual queries, and placebo arms that halve enrollment.
Pulser turns these snapshots into movies—creating continuous data streams.
