We help your business making sense of data, and offer a rigorous approach that is tailored to your needs.
At Smart Data Analysis and Statistics (SDAS), we offer a fresh alternative to the traditional CRO experience, delivering evidence-based insights with a personal touch and a commitment to innovation. Led by Dr. Thomas Debray and Prof. Tim Friede, our consultancy combines advanced expertise in biostatistics and data science with a flexible, client-focused approach.

Our boutique structure allows us to adapt to your unique needs, timelines, and challenges—offering agility and responsiveness that larger organizations simply can’t match. Whether you require complex trial design, indirect treatment comparisons, or cutting-edge AI-driven tools, we partner closely with you to deliver customized solutions that drive meaningful results. With SDAS, you gain more than a service provider—you gain a trusted partner dedicated to helping you achieve your research goals with precision, efficiency, and confidence.
