Built for Clinical Research Sites and SMOs

Your Sponsors Open Low. Aurora Shows Your Team Exactly How Much Higher to Push.

Aurora — The Study Economics System

AURORA NEGOTIATOR™ was built from 14 years of clinical research negotiation experience — the same consulting work that helped grow one organization from $900,000 to $3.4 million in annual revenue in 10 months. That real-world negotiating experience is the foundation of AURORA NEGOTIATOR, applied to every budget and CTA your team reviews, without adding a single person to your payroll.

Results reflect specific consulting outcomes achieved over 10 months. Individual results will vary based on protocol, sponsor, and site-specific factors.

Negotiation Is the Longest and Most Expensive Startup Bottleneck

For most clinical research sites, the bottleneck is not finding studies. It is negotiating them. Negotiation quality varies by who is in the room that day, review cycles stretch for weeks, and every position your team fails to defend is revenue your site never sees again.

Results reflect specific consulting outcomes. Individual results will vary.

Limited Capacity Per Staff Member

Negotiation capacity is constrained by individual experience and bandwidth, creating bottlenecks as study volume increases.

One person out sick means a study sits.

Days-Long Review Cycles

Inconsistent negotiation approaches and manual review cycles extend timelines and delay study activation.

Every extra day is a day the sponsor is activating someone else.

Lost Revenue Opportunities

Missed or weakly defended negotiation positions permanently reduce achievable study economics.

You will never know what you left on the table.

Delayed Cash Flow

Extended negotiations delay startup, pushing revenue realization weeks or months downstream.

Your staff gets paid. The study revenue does not arrive until you close.

Scaling Requires More Staff

Scaling negotiation capacity typically requires hiring more experienced staff, increasing overhead and training costs.

And the new hire takes 6 months to get up to speed.

Most sites don't have a study opportunity problem — they have a negotiation strategy problem

Aurora Turns Negotiation Into a Strategic Advantage.

Aurora brings the same negotiation standard to every contract review — so your results do not depend on who is available that day.

Apply Consistent Negotiation Judgment.

Every contract review Aurora supports reflects the same standard — consistent, thorough, and not dependent on which staff member handles it that day.

Consistent output regardless of staff experience or availability.

Defend Study Economics More Effectively.

Aurora surfaces negotiation positions that are commonly overlooked or inconsistently applied during manual negotiations.

Aurora Was Built From the Negotiation Floor Up.

Aurora was not built in a conference room by people who read about clinical research negotiation. It was built by someone who spent 14 years doing it — negotiating budgets and CTAs across dozens of studies, learning where sponsors push back, where they give ground, and what separates a good outcome from a great one. That experience is what Aurora brings to your team.

Most negotiation inconsistency comes from relying on whoever is available that day. Aurora removes that variable.

The $10K First Study Guarantee

Run your first study through Aurora after launch. If Aurora does not surface at least $10,000 in negotiation positions worth reviewing, your first month is on us. Here is all we ask: upload a real budget or CTA within your first 30 days, review what Aurora surfaces, submit it to your sponsor through the platform, and stay active through your first billing period.

Do that, and if we do not deliver, you do not pay for month one.

The guarantee is measured on the positions Aurora surfaces, not on what the sponsor ultimately agrees to. Applies to your first study. See full guarantee terms for conditions and exclusions.
