The Science

What it is

The Science is where we find out what the evidence actually says about your product or idea: what it supports, what it doesn’t, and what’s possible. It’s rigorous, honest, and always oriented toward what will move your brand forward.

This isn’t a literature dump. It’s a clear, actionable picture of where you stand and exactly how to get where you want to go. Every piece of work is carried out personally by Dr Carlene Starck, protein biochemist, published researcher, and one of a small number of people globally who sits at the intersection of deep protein science and commercial application.

This is right for you if...

…you have a protein-focused product, ingredient, or idea, and you know the science matters, but you’re not sure what it actually says, or how to make it work for you. Whether you’re starting from scratch, sitting on existing data you don’t know how to use, or trying to understand what’s possible, The Science meets you there.

Evidence Review
Systematic and narrative reviews, meta-analyses, and evidence mapping. We find out what the literature actually says about your product or ingredient.
New Data Generation
Study design and execution, from methodology through to data collection and analysis. If the evidence doesn't exist yet, we can create it.
Modelling
Dietary modelling, mathematical modelling, nutrient priority analysis. Quantifying what your product delivers and for whom.
Peer Reviewed Publication
Manuscript preparation and submission. Published evidence that carries weight with regulators, retailers, and the scientific community.

What you'll leave with

Your science will be delivered in the format that works for you, whether that’s a comprehensive report, a concise summary, or a slide deck that allows you to easily share what you’ve got with your stakeholders. The Science will be fully explained and provided in an easy to digest format, regardless of your starting point.

  • A clear picture of where the science stands on your product.
  • An honest assessment of what the evidence supports.
  • Where your product sits in the context of the wider body of literature.
  • The gaps, and the research that would close them
  • The opportunities: where the white space is.
  • Fully referenced and explained, so you understand it not just receive it.
  • Research conducted to best practice, robust, and credible.
  • A clear scientific roadmap for what comes next and why.

Any questions?

It depends entirely on scope. An evidence review might take three to four weeks. New data generation or a clinical trial runs to months. We scope this properly in the discovery conversation so you know exactly what you're committing to before we start.
Then you'll know that, clearly and early, before you've built a product or a campaign around it. That's not a failure of the process, it's the point of it. And in most cases there's still a path forward, just a different one to the one you expected.
No. Some clients come with a folder of studies they are not sure how to interpret, while others start from scratch. Both are perfect: The Science meets you wherever you are.
Yes. If the evidence doesn't exist, we can create it: from study design and methodology through to data collection, analysis, and peer-reviewed publication.
Yes, that's often where we start. Part of the work is identifying which questions are worth answering, which gaps matter commercially, and what order to tackle them in. You don't need to arrive with a research brief. You just need to know what you're trying to achieve.
