High costs associated with engaging top-tier consulting firms, particularly for smaller biotech companies and startups facing budget constraints, often lead to delayed or scaled-back projects, limiting broader market penetration during periods of economic uncertainty or rising operational expenses.

The perception that consulting engagements require significant time and financial commitment without guaranteed immediate ROI can deter organizations from pursuing comprehensive strategic advisory, especially when internal teams prioritize core R&D activities over external support.
