Faster, smarter product development.

From first conversation to a differentiated, compliant product in as little as 6 months — up to 4x faster than the industry standard. Without the chaos.

System, Not Services

Consultants, designers, manufacturers and regulatory providers sell you disconnected services.

We embed a complete system. Every project runs through our proven Take Friday Off Launch Engine™ — built on decades of Tier-1 hands-on operator experience, regulatory expertise, and commercial delivery.

One team. One system. Total accountability.

What We Build. How We Build It.

Every project runs through our proven Take Friday Off Launch Engine™ — from product development and manufacturing through to regulatory compliance, testing, and packaging.

One proven team, managing every stage so nothing falls through the gaps.

Product Development

From the first spark of an idea to a shelf-ready, market-tested formulation — we manage every stage of product development with scientific rigour and commercial intent.

Manufacturing

World-class manufacturing across every major format — managed through our Tier 1 global network of audited facilities.

We handle the complexity so your product is built to specification, on time, and ready to scale.

Testing & Validation

Rigorous analytical testing across every stage of development — because what you can't measure, you can't defend.

We ensure every product is scientifically sound, regulatory-ready, and built to perform.

Regulatory Compliance

Compliance built in from day one — not bolted on at the end.

We treat regulation as a strategic tool that protects your IP, unlocks your highest-value claims, and accelerates your path to market across TGA and FSANZ frameworks.

Packaging

Packaging that works as hard as the product inside it. From format selection to label compliance, we manage every detail — ensuring your packaging converts on shelf, performs in transit, and meets every regulatory requirement. And where a client has a specific vision that goes beyond standard formats, we have the capability to help bring it to life.

Product Development

From the first spark of an idea to a shelf-ready, market-tested formulation — we manage every stage of product development with scientific rigour and commercial intent.
