Assumptions
Pre-filled from benchmarks. Tap to check or change.
- High-complexity studies
Multiple cancer types (e.g. solid tumor, basket), multi-arm, 2+ schedules of assessments
- Amendments needing an update, per new study per year
2 coverage-analysis-affecting amendments per study over its life, so about 2 per new study per year at steady state. One NCI center's actual: 1.27. Tufts CSDD 2024: about 4 amendments per oncology protocol; not all change billables.
- Effort per amendment, share of a new study
Matches published amendment fees ($450–$1,250 vs. $1,000–$3,200 for new work)
- Coverage analysis hours today, normal to medium
From an NCI comprehensive cancer center's team size and volume (≈20 hrs), including iteration and congruency review
- Coverage analysis hours today, high complexity
About 2× normal; one center reported 40–200 hrs
- Budget hours today, normal to medium
Naur estimate, to validate with each center

- With Ginseng Budgeting: hours, normal to medium
Coverage analysis + budget ≈ half a day (4 hrs), including internal review
- With Ginseng Budgeting: hours, high complexity
Coverage analysis + budget ≈ 1 day (8 hrs), including edits and sign-off
- With Ginseng Coverage Analysis and Ginseng Budgeting: calendar days, normal to medium
Coverage analysis and budget done within 1 day
- With Ginseng Coverage Analysis and Ginseng Budgeting: calendar days, high complexity

- Working hours per person per year
Net of holidays, vacation and sick time
- Share of team time on coverage analysis
Used only if you enter team size
- Vendor fee: coverage analysis, normal to medium
Observed vendor range $1,500–$4,000+. One NCI center pays its vendor about $1,855 (draft only). Published site fees: $1,700–$3,200.
- Vendor fee: coverage analysis, high complexity
Published: UT Southwestern $4,000; Utah up to $4,095; Emory $5,000 before overhead
- Vendor fee per amendment, share of fee
Published: UCHealth $600, Kentucky $1,000, UCLA $1,250, Stanford up to $1,500, UT Southwestern $1,500, Emory $2,000 before overhead
- Vendor fee: budget development
One NCI center: $1,000 per budget (conservative). Emory charges $6,000 before overhead, including negotiation. Most sites bundle budget work into start-up fees ($1,500–$13,500).
- Internal time on outsourced work, share of in-house hours
Vendors typically don't do congruency review or work with the study team
- Hybrid: share of high-complexity studies outsourced
Hybrid = normal to medium in-house, high complexity outsourced
