What believers are saying

  • PINNACLE launched in late 2025 and gained multiple pharmaceutical adopters by February 2026.

What critics are saying

  • Pharma clients can pressure pricing if measurable ROI becomes the only buying criterion.
  • A few leadership hires cannot offset dependence on healthcare budgets and narrow life-sciences demand.

  • Lauren Boyer’s team added Keith Betz on February 24, 2026 for client accountability.
