How do you define structure in this context? I'm unsure which definition is appropriate from the dictionary.
P1: Healthy, fit people that can't die are like poison to big pharma. The new technology won't replace the lost profit from slinging drugs by a longshot.
P2: How can you possibly say this without having the slightest clue of the potential demand and cost structure of this treatment?
I guess, here the whole expression "cost structure" should be defined, not only the word "structure" itself. And "cost structure" is something like the expenses that a firm is supposed to take into account while manufacturing a product.
