Centivence vs traditional consultancies: full analysis
Traditional consultancies deliver bespoke evidence, market access and strategy work through expert human teams. They bring deep domain knowledge and tailor each engagement to your brand — but on a per-project basis, with lead times of weeks and a cost that scales with every new question.
Centivence takes a different approach: it’s an always-on agentic evidence system. Instead of commissioning a new project each time, it continuously monitors the literature, competitors and regulatory landscape, reasons only over your validated evidence, and turns it into strategy — instantly, at no marginal cost, and always with a verifiable citation.
In this comparison we analyse both options so you can decide which one fits your way of working, your budget model and the real needs of your Medical, Market Access and Marketing teams.

Ideal cases for Centivence
Manager running a product portfolio
Centivence continuously monitors the scientific evidence, competitors and regulatory landscape around your product, and turns it into value messages ready for your strategy. Stop chasing papers and decide with data.
Director who wants the full picture
All of your team’s knowledge — validated evidence, analysis and decisions — stays centralized in a single repository. See the real status of every product without depending on who holds the information.
Junior analyzing data every day
Centivence’s agents search, filter and synthesize the literature for you, always with a verifiable citation. Hours of manual work shrink to minutes, so you focus on the analysis, not the searching.
Ideal cases for consultancies
You need deep, bespoke analysis
Consultancies bring senior experts who tailor a study to a specific, one-off strategic question with full human judgment.
You need independent validation
A third-party report can add external credibility for boards, payers or regulators on a high-stakes decision.
You have a one-off, complex project
For a large, non-recurring piece of work, a dedicated consulting team can own it end to end.
