We have 34 biopharma clients in the National Biopharma Alliance. CMS just expanded the drug negotiation list — I need a tool that tracks which of our clients' drugs are on the list, models the revenue impact, and recommends our response strategy for each one.

Got it, Niaz. I want to make sure I build exactly what you need. A few quick questions:
1. Client data — how do you want to load your 34 client portfolios?
A
Upload a spreadsheet/CSV with client names, drugs, and revenue figures✓
Give me access to your existing CRM (HubSpot) with client recordsC
Describe each client in chat and I'll build the profilesD
Start with a few key clients for now, add the rest later2. What should a drug profile include?
A
Just the basics — drug name, CMS status, and current negotiated priceB
Detailed — name, indication, CMS price, timeline, and revenue impact estimate✓
Everything — all of the above plus pipeline analysis and competitor drug comparisons3. When I detect a CMS list change, how do you want to be notified?
A
Email alerts — one per client affected, sent as changes happen✓
A daily digest — one summary each morning with everything that changed overnightC
Real-time dashboard — live view I keep updated, you check when you wantD
Some combination of the above4. How detailed should the response strategy recommendations be?
A
High-level — "This is a significant risk for Client X, here's why"✓
Actionable — specific next steps like "schedule Senate Finance staffer meeting, prepare testimony"C
Full-service — I draft the actual memos, talking points, and coalition outreach for you to reviewD
Start with B, work up to C as you trust the system5. Should I flag conflicts between clients? For example: one client benefits from a narrow CMS definition while another needs a broad one.
✓
Yes, always — this is critical, flag every conflict immediatelyB
Only if it's a direct conflict (same drug class, directly opposing positions)C
No — I'll manage inter-client politics myself1. B

Before I start building, two more quick things:
6. For the daily digest — what time do you want it delivered, and where?
✓
Email, 7:00 AM before I start my dayB
Email, 9:00 AM when I'm at my deskC
Slack message so I see it in my workflowD
Different preference — tell me7. Which clients should I start with to show you a working version fast?
✓
Biggest revenue exposure — whoever has the most drugs on the CMS listB
Most drugs on the list — National Biopharma Alliance, BioVenture Partners, PharmaPolicy AllianceC
A mix — one large, one mid-size, one with known client conflictsD
You tell me — who's keeping you up at night right now?1. A

Great, Niaz! Here's a plan file I've written for you, that describes what I'm going to build and how. Let me know if there are any changes you'd like me to make.
