From the source SKILL.md

In biotech venture, the most common analytical failure is accepting a company's differentiation narrative at face value. Every management team claims their drug is "best-in-class." The physician-scientist's job is to independently assess whether the clinical data supports that claim — and more importantly, to identify differentiation signals that neither the company nor consensus has fully appreciated.
