Research

→On Controlled Access

Q1 2026

A note on timing, judgment, and the gap between a public record and the right conversation

Pharmacies

→Licensed Where

Q4 2026

Every state keeps a list of the wholesalers allowed to ship to its pharmacies. The list is longer than the pharmacist thinks, and in half the states we checked, nobody can get the whole list.

→The Second Truck

Q4 2026

When a pharmacy says "we don't have it," the medicine usually isn't gone. The truck that serves that pharmacy didn't bring it.

→What Your Patients Say When You're Out

Q4 2026

We read every public review of 142 independent pharmacies in one metro. The stock-out shows up within days, and the patient names where they went instead.

Cannabis

→The License Comes First

Q3 2026

Every new cannabis license is a business that will need a test result before it can sell anything. The state publishes the license months before the first result exists

Pre-Opening Healthcare

→$75 Billion Is Breaking Ground

Q1 2026

A census of more than 1,600 pre-opening healthcare facilities across 52 states — and why most of them are independents

→The Ribbon Is Not the Finish Line

Q2 2026

What actually happens between groundbreak and first bill, and why the compliance clock starts before the roof is on

CMS

→Ninety-Five Days Behind

Q1 2026

The median nursing-home deficiency takes 95 days to reach the public record — and that window hasn't moved in five years

→The Complaint-Driven Majority

Q2 2026

Most severe skilled nursing deficiencies don't start with an inspector on schedule — they start with a complaint already on file

→The Sealed Survey

Q3 2026

Roughly four in five American hospitals are surveyed by a private accreditor — and federal law seals those findings from public view. Permanently

FDA

→The Six-Month Head Start

Q1 2026

FDA posts warning letters within days of issuing them. The company already received its first notice six months earlier

→Three in Four Never Close

Q2 2026

Most FDA warning letters never receive a public close-out. The ones that do take another year

→Three in Four Never Close, Part Two

Q3 2026

The eventual close rate holds at one in four — but the observed floor is lower, and drug manufacturers sit at the bottom of every table

→The Record Updates on Tuesdays

Q3 2026

The FDA's public record runs on a weekly batch, a doubling internal lag, and an overwhelmingly one-strike enforcement pattern

Currently accepting 2 new engagements.
