Based on what one of the engineers of edison were saying, if they could acquire more than a "drop of blood" for analysis, they would have been able to get more accurate results.

You might be able to consider that a pivot, since she had been saying "drop of blood" the whole time.

It was Holmes' unwavering attitude to imitate Steve Jobs that got in the way of her decisions, and I think more than a pivot of product, that a pivot away from this ideology could have saved Theranos. Willingness to give up on perfect design in order to acquire a working engineered product could have made a world of a difference.
