Technology decisions in life sciences have long half-lives. Build a data warehouse with rigid assumptions and you'll be working around it indefinitely. Skip documentation today and you'll spend months reconstructing your architecture tomorrow. Choose the wrong EDC and you're stuck with it for years. We've watched companies paint themselves into corners they didn't see coming. This pattern is avoidable. You don't need to predict exactly how your company will change. But you do need to build systems that can change with you. Future-proofing requires you to invest resources *strategically* so you're not rebuilding every time your business evolves. #expertisedelivered #lifesciences #slipstream
