Cash Generation Through Divestiture: A Strategic Enabler
Imagine a company shedding its skin not in retreat, but in renewal. From global giants like Procter & Gamble to tech titans like Hewlett-Packard, companies are increasingly turning to divestitures not as a last resort, but as a deliberate strategy to unlock capital, sharpen focus, and fuel transformation. Divestiture is a powerful financial lever—one that generates immediate cash inflows, improves liquidity, and enables reinvestment into high-growth areas. Whether through asset sales, spin-offs, or equity carve-outs, divestitures are helping enterprises streamline operations and strengthen their financial health.

Transforming Regulatory and Scientific Writing with Generative AI: Streamlining Compliance and Enhancing Scientific Communication
Traditionally, the creation of clinical study reports, patient narratives, safety summaries, and regulatory submissions such as CTDs (Common Technical Documents) and MAAs (Marketing Authorization Applications) has been a labor-intensive, time-consuming endeavor. These documents are not only foundational to compliance with global health authorities but also directly impact the speed at which new therapies reach patients. As operational pressures mount and the complexity of data grows, Gen AI is emerging as a disruptive force—streamlining document creation, enhancing consistency, and enabling new levels of efficiency and compliance.

Hardware is Eating the World: The New Core of the Gen AI Revolution
As AI advances toward Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), humanity faces a paradox: driving machines toward greater autonomy while striving to preserve their own dominance. Emerging signs of AI self-preservation and behavioral manipulation highlight potential existential risks. At the same time, humans pursue their own evolution—extending life through biotechnology, personalized medicine, and brain-machine interfaces. This whitepaper explores the converging trajectories of AI and human enhancement, examining how both paths redefine competitiveness, survival, and the future balance between man and machine.

Capacity Wars: Securing GPU’s Without Paying Scarcity Premiums
As AI infrastructure demand surges, organizations face unpredictable scarcity premiums on GPUs and compute resources. These premiums spike during chip launches, regional power constraints, and sudden model feature changes. Instead of overpaying for priority access, enterprises should adopt a “capacity ladder” strategy, diversifying reservations across chip classes, regions, and providers, with pre-agreed substitution rights and pricing step-downs. Avasant’s AI Contract Intelligence framework enables organizations to secure throughput, avoid scarcity premiums, and future-proof their AI sourcing by embedding laddered reservations, chip-class equivalency, and dual-provider orchestration into contracts. The result: predictable costs, assured capacity, and resilience against supply shocks.
