Prediction text

Big pharma companies will transition into longevity business in next 3 years. | these companies are beginning to realize that, you know, their previous business model of basically treating chronic disease as a longtail revenue engine um will and may in in success will disappear and their job is now to actually get into the longevity business. So I think it's, you know, the next 3 years before they start making that transition.

Watch events: Life Biosciences ER-100 Phase 1 first readout (likely late 2026/early 2027)

What if this resolves?

Clamp this prediction TRUE or FALSE and run a counterfactual Gibbs sample. Surfaces the predictions whose marginals shift most under that assumption.
