EpiX Analytics

What EpiX Analytics does

EpiX Analytics is an independent risk-analysis and decision-analytics consultancy founded in 2003 and headquartered in Fort Collins, Colorado. The firm helps organizations — primarily regulatory agencies (USDA-FSIS, USDA-APHIS, EFSA, FSA UK, WOAH), universities, and large enterprises — quantify and manage decisions under uncertainty using probabilistic risk analysis, Monte Carlo simulation, Bayesian methods, and quantitative microbial risk assessment (QMRA). Its practice areas are organized across four verticals: Human & Public Health, Animal Health, Food Safety & Nutrition, and Business Analytics, serving clients including Pfizer, Eli Lilly, Roche, GSK, Janssen, Johnson & Johnson, Danone, Coca-Cola, and ConocoPhillips over a multi-year engagement history.

The firm's intellectual foundation rests on its PhD-level scientific bench (President Dr. Francisco J. Zagmutt, Director Dr. Solenne Costard, and Lead Scientist Dr. Jane Pouzou, plus senior scientists and a senior scientific advisor roster) and on a methodology portfolio that includes a Genomic-Enabled QMRA framework integrating whole-genome sequencing, epidemiological evidence, and AI to identify high-virulence Salmonella strains — work recognized by the 2026 IAFP Food Safety Innovation Award. It distributes ModelAssist®, a free wiki-style technical reference tool for risk analysis receiving thousands of monthly visits, as a content asset and operates EpiX Learning, an online training platform.

EpiX generates revenue through two streams: (1) quote-based consulting engagements in probabilistic modeling, risk assessment, decision analysis, research partnerships, and independent expert review; and (2) fixed-price training courses delivered in-person and online across pharma, animal health, food safety, and project-management applications, with per-seat pricing between roughly $1,490 and $2,495 and discounts for governments, academics, students, and groups. GTM is sales-led via direct outreach, website inquiries, conference presentations (IAFP, USAHA), webinars, and professional-network referrals. Since September 2025, the firm has operated under the sole ownership of Dr. Zagmutt, with no disclosed venture or external equity backing.

Scale indicators8 records

Recent moves5 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• ToxStrategies: ToxStrategies is a private scientific consulting firm providing toxicology, epidemiology, and quantitative risk assessment services to industry and government. It is a direct peer to EpiX Analytics because both operate as PhD-led boutique consultancies applying risk modeling and decision science to regulated industries (food, chemical, pharma).
• Risk Sciences International (RSI): RSI is a Canadian risk-analysis consultancy spun out of the University of Ottawa, providing quantitative risk assessment, decision analysis, and policy support to regulators and industry. It is a direct peer given its parallel focus on risk modeling, regulatory advisory, and capacity-building programs in food safety, animal health, and public health.

Broad incumbents

• Exponent: Exponent is a publicly traded scientific and engineering consulting firm with 900+ consultants delivering failure analysis, risk assessment, and regulatory science. It is a broad incumbent because it overlaps with EpiX in quantitative risk analysis and expert witness work but serves a much wider industry footprint.
• Mérieux NutriSciences: Mérieux NutriSciences is a global food safety, testing, and consulting services company serving food and beverage manufacturers and regulators. It is comparable to EpiX's food-safety risk-analysis practice but at much larger scale and with integrated laboratory testing capabilities.
• NSF International: NSF International provides testing, inspection, certification, and consulting services for food, water, and consumer products. It is comparable to EpiX in food-safety risk analysis and training but operates as a broader standards/certification incumbent.
• ICF International: ICF is a large public-sector consulting firm with deep federal health, environment, and risk-analytics practices. It is comparable to EpiX in serving USDA, FDA, and other agencies on quantitative risk and One Health-style programs, but at significantly larger scale.
• Battelle Memorial Institute: Battelle is a nonprofit R&D organization managing national-security, health, and environmental programs with quantitative risk and bioscience capabilities. It competes with EpiX for federal agency research contracts in animal disease and public health risk modeling.

Others

• Lumina Decision Systems: Lumina Decision Systems makes Analytica, a decision-analysis and risk-modeling platform used by enterprises and consultancies. It is thematically related because EpiX analysts use adjacent tools (Analytic Solver) and Lumina's software is commonly paired with EpiX-style risk-assessment engagements.
• Palisade: Palisade is the developer of @RISK Monte Carlo simulation software widely used in enterprise risk analysis. It is thematically related as an enabling tool vendor whose products are deployed in EpiX-style quantitative risk assessments, though it does not directly compete for consulting services.

Emerging players

• RAND Corporation: RAND is a nonprofit research institution applying quantitative risk analysis, epidemiology, and policy modeling to public-sector clients. It is comparable in offering risk-analysis services to government and philanthropy in adjacent domains (health, security, environment), though at much larger scale and with broader scope.
