Our Evaluation Framework

In a market as dynamic and complex as Indonesia’s health tech sector, intuition and surface-level analysis are recipes for failure. At Health Tech Bali, every recommendation, every piece of analysis, and every introduction we make is underpinned by a rigorous, data-driven, and transparent methodology. This framework is our commitment to providing our clients with objective, defensible, and actionable intelligence. It is how we separate hype from true potential and identify the opportunities poised for significant growth. Our methodology is executed by our team of experts and governed by our strict editorial standards.

The HTB Scorecard™: A Proprietary Evaluation Rubric

At the core of our evaluation process for startups and investment opportunities is the Health Tech Bali (HTB) Scorecard™. This proprietary rubric provides a standardized, multi-vector framework for assessing the viability and potential of any health tech venture. Each component is weighted to reflect its importance in the Indonesian context.

1. Market Opportunity & Problem-Solution Fit (Weight: 30%)

Total Addressable Market (TAM/SAM/SOM): We analyze the market size not just in Bali, but across Indonesia and Southeast Asia. Is the solution targeting a niche or a massive, underserved population?
Problem Urgency: How critical is the problem the venture is solving? Is it a ‘vitamin’ (nice-to-have) or a ‘painkiller’ (must-have)?
Competitive Landscape: We map out existing competitors, from incumbents like Halodoc and Alodokter to emerging players. What is the venture’s unique value proposition and defensible moat?

2. Technology, Product & IP (Weight: 25%)

Technical Scalability: Is the platform built on a modern, scalable architecture (e.g., microservices, robust cloud infrastructure)? Can it handle 10x or 100x user growth?
Proprietary Technology: Does the venture possess unique intellectual property, such as a proprietary AI algorithm, a novel biotech process, or a patented IoT sensor design?
Interoperability: How well does the solution integrate with the broader healthcare ecosystem? We place special emphasis on compatibility with the national SATUSEHAT platform mandated by the Ministry of Health (Kemenkes).
Data Security: We conduct a thorough review of data security protocols, encryption standards, and compliance with Indonesia’s Personal Data Protection (PDP) Law.

3. Team & Execution Capability (Weight: 20%)

Founder-Market Fit: Do the founders have deep domain expertise in either healthcare, technology, or the Indonesian market? Have they demonstrated resilience and adaptability?
Technical & Clinical Talent: What is the caliber of the engineering and medical teams? Do they have the skills to execute the product roadmap?
Go-to-Market Strategy: Is there a clear, realistic, and well-costed plan for acquiring customers and scaling operations?

4. Regulatory & Compliance Pathway (Weight: 15%)

Regulatory Awareness: Does the team have a clear understanding of the relevant regulatory bodies (Kemenkes, BPOM, Kominfo) and the specific licenses or certifications required?
Compliance Roadmap: Is there a proactive plan to achieve and maintain regulatory compliance? For digital platforms, this includes registration as a Penyelenggara Sistem Elektronik (PSE).
Ethical Considerations: For sensitive areas like genomics and stem cell research, we assess the venture’s commitment to ethical guidelines and patient consent protocols.

5. Financials & Business Model (Weight: 10%)

Unit Economics: Is the business model sustainable? What are the Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) and Lifetime Value (LTV)?
Capital Efficiency: How effectively has the company used previous funding? What is the current burn rate and runway?
Monetization Strategy: Is the revenue model clear, validated, and scalable?

Due Diligence and Partner Audit Process

Our methodology extends beyond startup evaluation to our entire network. Every partner, from medical institutions to service providers, undergoes a thorough vetting process.

On-Site Audits: We conduct regular site visits to our key hospital partners (Bali International Hospital, BIMC, etc.) to verify their facilities, technology, and service quality firsthand.
License Verification: We verify that all partners hold the necessary operational licenses, such as a Surat Izin Usaha Perdagangan (SIUP) and relevant healthcare permits.
Reputation Check: We conduct discreet reputational checks within the industry to ensure we only partner with organizations that share our commitment to quality and integrity.

This disciplined, multi-faceted approach ensures that our advice is not based on speculation, but on a solid foundation of verifiable data and expert analysis, making us the most trusted guide to the Bali health tech ecosystem.
