Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation	1. Nature of the Business and Basis of Presentation Organization Akili, Inc. (collectively referred to with its wholly-owned, controlled subsidiaries, as “Akili” or the “Company”) operates as one business segment and is a leading digital medicine company, pioneering the development of cognitive treatments through game-changing technologies. Akili’s approach of developing and commercializing technologies designed to directly target the physiology of the brain has established a new category of medicine—medicine that is validated through clinical trials like a drug or medical device, but experienced like entertainment. In June 2020, EndeavorRx, the first product built on Akili’s platform, was granted marketing authorization and classified as a Class II medical device by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (the “FDA”) through FDA’s de novo process. EndeavorRx is indicated for use to improve attention function for children ages 8-12 with primarily inattentive or combined-type ADHD, who have a demonstrated attention issue. In June 2023, the Company released EndeavorOTC, which is built on the same platform as EndeavorRx, nationwide without a prescription to improve attention function, ADHD symptoms and quality of life in adults 18 years of age and older with primarily inattentive or combined-type ADHD, under the FDA guidance entitled “Enforcement Policy for Digital Health Devices for Treating Psychiatric Disorders During the Coronavirus Disease 2019 Public Health Emergency” (the “COVID-19 Guidance”). The COVID-19 Guidance allows for the marketing of certain digital therapeutics without premarket clearance, de novo classification, or approval so long as certain criteria are met for the duration of the COVID-19 Guidance. The COVID-19 Guidance is expected to remain in effect until November 7, 2023. Additional FDA guidance allows for the continued distribution of devices falling under the COVID-19 Guidance without marketing authorization so long as the manufacturer has submitted a marketing submission to FDA, the submission has been accepted by FDA prior to November 7, 2023 and FDA has not taken a final action on the marketing submission. EndeavorOTC has not been cleared or authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for any indications. The Company’s efforts are primarily focused on obtaining regulatory clearance and commercializing EndeavorOTC in adults with ADHD, commercializing EndeavorRx in children ages 8-12 with ADHD and obtaining an expanded label for EndeavorRx in adolescents ages 13-17 with ADHD. Further development of Akili’s programs outside of the ADHD space will be contingent upon capital raising and supportive business development activities. The Company is headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts. On August 19, 2022, (the “Closing Date”), Social Capital Suvretta Holdings Corp. I (“SCS”) consummated the previously announced merger pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), dated January 26, 2022, by and among SCS, Akili Interactive Labs, Inc. and Karibu Merger Sub, Inc., pursuant to which Karibu Merger Sub, Inc. merged with and into Akili Interactive Labs, Inc., with Akili Interactive Labs, Inc. becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of SCS (the “Business Combination”). Upon the closing of the Business Combination (the “Closing”), SCS changed its name to Akili, Inc. In connection with the Business Combination, SCS completed the sale and issuance of 16,200,000 shares of Akili, Inc. common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”) in a private placement transaction for a purchase price of $10.00 per share for $162,000 in the aggregate (the “PIPE Investment”). Gross proceeds from the Merger totaled approximately $164,283 which included funds held in SCS’s trust account (after giving effect to redemptions). In connection with the Business Combination, approximately $31,438 of transaction costs and other fees were incurred. References to SCS refer to the Company prior to the consummation of the Business Combination and references to “Legacy Akili” refer to Akili Interactive Labs, Inc. (now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Akili, Inc.) prior to the consummation of the Business Combination. Legacy Akili was deemed the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination. This determination was primarily based on Legacy Akili’s stockholders prior to the Business Combination having a majority of the voting power in the combined company, Legacy Akili having the ability to appoint a majority of the board of directors of the combined company (the “Board”), Legacy Akili’s existing management comprising the senior management of the combined company, Legacy Akili comprising the ongoing operations of the combined company, Legacy Akili being the larger entity based on historical revenues and business operations, and the combined company assuming Legacy Akili’s name. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Akili issuing stock for the net assets of SCS, accompanied by a recapitalization. Under this method of accounting, SCS who was the legal acquirer, is treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. The net assets of SCS are stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. The equity structure has been restated in all comparative periods up to the Closing Date to reflect the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share, issued to Legacy Akili stockholders in connection with the Business Combination. As such, the shares and corresponding capital amounts and earnings per share related to Legacy Akili’s convertible preferred stock (“Legacy Convertible Preferred Stock”) and Legacy Akili common stock prior to the Business Combination have been retroactively restated as shares reflecting the exchange ratio of approximately 1.15 pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination. Legacy Convertible Preferred Stock previously classified as mezzanine was retroactively adjusted, converted into Common Stock, and reclassified to permanent as a result of the reverse recapitalization. Akili, Inc. (formerly SCS) is a Delaware corporation incorporated on December 1, 2020. Akili Interactive Labs, Inc. is a Delaware corporation incorporated on December 1, 2011. Going Concern The Company is subject to risks common to companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, new technological innovations, protection of proprietary technology, dependence on key personnel, compliance with government regulations and the need to obtain additional financing. The Company requires a significant amount of capital to fund its current operating requirements as it pursues its strategic goals. The Company’s efforts are primarily focused on obtaining regulatory clearance and commercializing EndeavorOTC for the adult ADHD market, commercializing EndeavorRx in the pediatric ADHD market and obtaining an expanded label for EndeavorRx in the adolescent ADHD market. There can be no assurance that the Company’s product development and commercialization efforts will be successful; that adequate protection for the Company’s intellectual property will be obtained; that any products developed will obtain necessary government regulatory approval; or that any approved or commercialized products will be commercially viable. Even if the Company’s product development and commercialization efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will generate significant revenue from product sales. The Company operates in an environment of rapid change in technology and substantial competition from pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies. In addition, the Company is dependent upon the services of its employees and consultants. The Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Company has experienced negative operating cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and had an accumulated deficit of $272,758 at June 30, 2023. The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments at June 30, 2023 of $105,842, will be sufficient to fund the Company’s planned operations and existing obligations for at least one year after the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The future viability of the Company is dependent on its ability to generate cash from operating activities or to raise additional capital to finance its operations. The Company’s failure to generate cash from operating activities or to raise capital when needed, or on terms favorable to the Company, could have a negative impact on its financial condition and ability to pursue its business strategies. Basis of Presentation The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and include the accounts of the Company, after elimination of all intercompany accounts and transactions. As permitted for interim reporting, certain footnotes or other financial information that are normally required by U.S. GAAP may be condensed or omitted, unless otherwise required by U.S. GAAP or Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations. These condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared on the same basis as and should be read in conjunction with the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 (the “Annual Report”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature, considered necessary for fair presentation, have been included in these condensed consolidated financial statements. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the year ending December 31, 2023 or for any other interim period or future year. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2022 was derived from the audited annual consolidated financial statements but does not include all information required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements.
