Pay for validated outcomes, not speculative transformation.

Private presentation, discussion and synthetic demonstrations. The purpose is to determine whether the opportunity merits formal discovery.

Recommended founding design-partner engagement: interviews, observation, systems and instrument inventory, baseline metrics, architecture comparison, pilot scoring and implementation specification.

• Planning range: $20,000–$35,000
• Suggested founding engagement: approximately $25,000
• Final amount depends on approved scope and access

One measurable workflow selected after discovery, with named owners, explicit data boundaries, acceptance criteria and rollback planning.

• Specimen visibility: approximately $100,000–$250,000
• Event-to-first-submission: approximately $75,000–$200,000
• Collection access or Care Signal: scope after governance review

A broader VDI LabOS program could range from a focused operating layer to multi-year laboratory, clinic and network integration. Planning ranges are not quotations.

• Phase 1 operating layer: approximately $300,000–$900,000
• Laboratory execution and instruments: approximately $750,000–$2.5M
• Larger ecosystem over time: approximately $1.5M–$5M

Possible recurring services include platform support, hosting, adapters, AI services, security validation and continuous improvement. Commercial terms require discovery and agreement.

WHL invested substantially in understanding the opportunity and building enough of the concept for serious evaluation. The request is not retroactive payment; it is a formal paid discovery engagement if VDI sees sufficient value.
