      An analysis of the pharmaceutical industry shows that only a small percentage of Phase I products ever make it to the market. Typically, the percentage rises to 40% in Phase II and 70% in Phase III. Thus, a drug at Phase I is clearly a riskier investment than at Phase III. Market potentials can be determined using publicly available data on patient populations and current prices per patient/year. An analysis of competitor activity will demonstrate the number of companies conducting research on the same disease, and the level of their progress. The analysts claim that as a result, all major risks in a product development are quantifiable, such as clinical and competitor risk. It is possible to calculate the net present value or its net value to the company by adding up the risks.
