Why CAHS?

In an increasingly competitive marketplace where marketing claims blend together, retail buyers demand evidence, and regulatory pressure continues to rise, brands no longer win on slogans. They win on credible, defensible, publication-grade clinical research that withstands retailer scrutiny, regulatory review, and consumer skepticism.

​

At the Center for Applied Health Sciences (CAHS), we’ve developed a proven clinical operations framework to deliver exactly that. We call it the QPS Model: Quality, Price, Speed. Every sponsor wants all three. After two decades conducting human clinical trials across dietary supplements, functional foods, and active nutrition, we know you can meaningfully optimize only two at a time without compromising scientific integrity or commercial viability.

​

And that isn’t a limitation - it’s a strategy.

​

​

The Three Levers

​

Quality protects your brand.
High-power study designs, validated biomarker analysis, robust assay control, meticulous data cleaning, and IRB oversight ensure regulatory-ready, publication-grade outcomes.

​

Price preserves your margin.
Lean protocols, optimized recruitment, integrated laboratory workflows, and predictable budgets support sustainable clinical trial pricing.

​

Speed accelerates revenue velocity.
Standing IRB relationships, on-site instrumentation, participant databases, and SOP-driven throughput shorten time-to-claim in crowded categories.

​

Choosing the right two of these levers is the difference between a defensible clinical asset and an expensive marketing liability.

​​

​

Internal Tension Is Real

​

Within sponsor organizations:

• Marketing pushes Speed

• R&D defends Quality

• Finance pressures Price

• Legal/Regulatory mitigates Risk

​​

Without alignment, clinical studies drift, budgets inflate, timelines slip, and claims weaken. The QPS model surfaces these tensions early and resolves them through governance frameworks, contingency triggers, and decision matrices. Everyone gets aligned - fast.

​​

​

When You Pick Correctly, You Win

​

• Quality + Speed: premium, first-to-market claims

• Quality + Price: long-term scientific equity on budget

• Speed + Price: tactical, time-sensitive claims in emerging categories

​​

The wrong combination isn’t random - it’s the one never discussed.

​​

​
