I couldn't find any info on what they'd ACTUALLY DONE; or what SPECIFIC technology or capability they actually have. Before the CGIX purchase, I'd never heard of them before.
I would tend to give less value to a company with lofty objectives but no documented achievements. However that would still be an uninformed conclusion. That's why I was seeking insights here.
Their words are nice, but they're totally devoid of any reference to an actual collaboration or achievement. an example from their website:
