Product Opportunity Scanner

Score molecules and dosage forms on market attractiveness, competition advantage, technical fit, margin, regulatory feasibility and speed to market — the engine for Rubicon's R&D capital allocation.

Modeled estimates
What this shows

A decision tool that scores drug molecules on how attractive they'd be for Rubicon to develop — balancing market size, competition, technical difficulty, margin, regulatory ease and speed into a single 0–100 score.

How to use it

Click any row in the table to see that molecule's score broken into its six ingredients on the right. In the bubble chart, top-left (big market, few competitors) is the sweet spot. Higher complexity is good here — it means fewer rivals can copy it.

Key terms
Opportunity score
Weighted 0–100 blend of the six factors; higher = more attractive to pursue.
Price erosion
How fast a generic's price falls as competitors pile in — the core risk of generics.
Complexity
How hard the dosage form is to make. High complexity = a barrier that protects margins.
Para IV
A patent challenge in an ANDA that can win first-mover exclusivity if successful.
