Safety2Prosperity LLC is a digital health and healthcare risk-management company focusing on preparation, prevention, mitigation, and control of infectious diseases, such as COVID-19 and its variants, and soon the Flu and Monkey-Pox. In more detail, S2P is a "SaaS, IoT, risk management, and best-of breed-bundle sales and distribution" health and healthcare software infectious disease risk-management company. S2P's current focus is on preventing, mitigating, and controlling, as well as best managing, COVID-19 and variants spread at work and at home, using a special strategy. This strategy is called a "double sanctuary" approach. It uses a complete Program to prevent workers from taking infections from a created safe work environment to home and vice versa). Its most recent challenge is applying its software, strategies, devices, tools, and models to beat the more contagious and overall more dangerous Delta variant. S2P's current chief goals, in addition to its overall chief goal of reducing infectious disease spread, are to eliminate the repeat of two huge past errors: (1) the exercise of the apparent but false "no-alternative need" for closing companies and economies, thereby doing many times more harm than good, AND (2) the failure to exercise, either alone or in combination, a far smarter strategy to eliminate the serious "right-to-work violations" created by solo "Mandated Vaccination Programs,". This latter error is corrected by giving workers a less confrontational and just-as-good alternative: a "COVID-19 and Variants Safety Program.".

Safely 2 Prosperity (S2P) is a company wholly devoted to ensure safety in the Workplace, and/or the Educational arena. S2P offers a wide ranging array of solutions, specific to the Client environment and ecosystem, whereby Personnel, Students, and Staff are healthy both at work and returning home. Solutions are achieved via rigorous, comprehensive, and all encompassing tests, air and surface cleaning, to ensure the most virulent viruses (Covid19, FLU, Covid Variants, and others) are optimally minimized. S2P’s Solutions are chosen, and deployed to ensure both Executive (Litigant Cost Control), Personnel, and their loved ones’ peace of mind. S2P’s Founding, and Leadership are directly from prior U.S. FDA CXO level and senior level personnel.

Coprindm Corporation provides pharmaceutical companies with business insights needed to make critical go and no-go decisions related to initiating or ending highly expensive clinical trials of drugs' (or devices') safety and effectiveness, under current or anticipated FDA rules and regulations. Pharmaceutical executives are under tremendous pressure to reduce the time and cost of clinical trials. The conducting of clinical trials is the most expensive phase of the entire life sciences product life cycle. It extends 5-10 years, and involves many institutions, providers, regulators and product scientists. Nearly 90% of clinical trials are completed with significant delays, and one-day delay costs about $1.3 million for a drug destined to make $500M in annual sales. Unfortunately, only 3 of 10 marketed drugs produce revenues that match or exceed average R&D.

The reforms made the FDA produced far more productive, timely, and effective new-market-access product reviews, better blocking of unsafe or ineffective products from US markets, and earlier (and continuous) consumer-access to safe and effective products.These successful reforms also substantially boosted agency-wide work quality, productivity, and morale, and enhanced the FDA's US and worldwide reputation.
