It answers a decision, not a research question
This is scoped around what you have to decide and when, rather than around what would be publishable. Both are legitimate; only one of them is this offering.
A designed analysis run against de-identified patient-level data, in-market, under that market's own law. Treatment pathways, market dynamics, unmet need, patient flow, adherence, switching, or whatever the question requires. Delivered as a report or an interactive dashboard, with the method note behind it.

A protocol-driven study is the right instrument when the output has to be defended externally. When it has to inform a decision in six weeks, this is the right one.
You get the method note whether or not you asked for it, which means the analysis can be defended later or extended into a full study without redoing the design.
Where the question will be asked again, the output can be delivered as a view your team refreshes rather than a document that goes stale.

Named, dated and agreed at scoping. Every one of these is a thing you can hold, circulate internally and be held to, not a description of an activity.
The finding, the figures behind it, and what it means for the decision you are making. Written for the audience you name at scoping, not a single generic template.
Cohort definition, analytical approach, handling of missing data and confounders, and the limitations. This is what makes the result defensible six months later.
The underlying tabulations, exportable, so your own team can check or re-cut anything.
For questions that will be asked repeatedly, delivered as a maintained view rather than a document.
You see the direction before you see the deck. There are no surprises at the final presentation.
A working session with the person who did the analysis, not a handover to an account manager.
The cohort specification is agreed and dated. If feasibility came first, this is already done.
Credentialed analysts run the analysis inside the alliance partner's controlled-access environment. The data does not move.
A first look at the direction, so the interpretation can be shaped while there is still time to ask a second question.
Report or dashboard, method note, result tables, and a session to go through it.
Alongside every engagement: weekly updates, methodology agreed before work starts, quality control at every phase, interim reporting rather than a single reveal, and milestones you accept rather than discover.
The method note becomes the protocol skeleton for a study designed to be defended in front of somebody else.
Describe the decision you are trying to make. If a cheaper offering answers it, we will tell you that instead.
