4DS - Anything but Charting, page-15240

I don't expect any hiring much at 4Ds. Consultants can manage this from here and that's very common on the M&A side. Neutral, incentive-driven, experts. There are ~10-20 buyers really and maybe 3-5 to run down a funnel in reality. Dr Wilbert with the aid of some expert consultants can manage this. The 200 people you're thinking of are spread across multiple organisations inc the JDA participants, IMEC and consultants and also recall the many, many years for data to be developed and IP catalogued. Now the deal sheet / price drivers can come down to a few metrics given all the other data has been packaged already.
