Independent Assessment That Identifies Root Causes — Not Just Symptoms

Most Quality and Compliance Problems Get Misdiagnosed

Organizations pursue ISO certification when the real issue is validation evidence. They overhaul their QMS when the problem is specific and fixable. They invest in new tools when the gap is process documentation. Without independent assessment, you solve the wrong problem — expensively. Prior assessments may have identified gaps, but generic compliance checklists without effort estimates or implementation sequencing don't tell you what to do Monday morning.

  • Root cause identification — distinguish between process gaps, resource constraints, organizational issues, and technology limitations
  • Findings-driven methodology — start with known issues from prior audits, client feedback, and CAPA history rather than rediscovering the same gaps
  • Severity classification — observations rated Critical, High, or Medium with regulatory, commercial, and operational risk types
  • Executable action plan — task-based remediation with level of effort, duration, dependencies, and resource requirements
  • Provenance tracking — every finding tagged as prior, partially remediated, closed with evidence, or newly identified
  • AI governance readiness — dedicated evaluation of AI capabilities against FDA AI/ML framework, GAMP 5, and emerging guidance

Who This Is For

Software Vendors Scaling Upmarket

You're moving from SMB to enterprise pharma clients and need to demonstrate quality maturity for vendor qualification reviews and RFP responses

Organizations Facing Audit Findings

You have findings from regulatory inspections or client audits and need a clear remediation path with realistic effort estimates

Companies Considering Major Investments

Before committing to ISO certification, new QMS platforms, or validation overhauls — verify you're solving the right problem

Teams Preparing for AI Adoption

You need to understand your governance and validation readiness before deploying AI capabilities in regulated workflows

What We Assess

Quality Management

Document control, CAPA, change control, training, internal audit — evaluated against your target market's expectations, not abstract standards

Validation & Documentation

SDLC practices, CSV methodology, requirements traceability, and evidence quality for current and planned systems

Regulatory Compliance

21 CFR Part 11, EU Annex 11, GxP requirements, HIPAA, GDPR — scoped to your actual regulatory obligations

Security & Infrastructure

Access controls, encryption, cloud architecture, business continuity — assessed against SOC 2, ISO 27001, and client expectations

AI Governance

Architecture review, risk classification, intended use definition, human oversight, audit trail coverage for AI-generated outputs

Supplier Management

Vendor qualification status, cybersecurity posture, contract management, and ongoing oversight processes

Our Approach

  1. Pre-Engagement Review: We review prior assessments, audit findings, client feedback, and CAPA history before we start — so we verify remediation rather than rediscover known issues
  2. Systematic Discovery: Document review, personnel interviews, system evaluation, and comparison of documented procedures against actual operational behavior
  3. Root Cause Analysis: Determine why problems exist — not just catalog symptoms — distinguishing between gaps that require different solutions
  4. Gap Analysis Report: Each observation documented with supporting evidence, regulatory references, severity classification, and provenance
  5. Action Plan Delivery: Task-based remediation roadmap with effort estimates, duration, dependencies, and sequencing — enabling informed resource allocation, not aspirational planning

What You Get

Gap Analysis Report: Verified observations with supporting evidence, regulatory and standard references, severity classification (Critical/High/Medium), and risk type (regulatory, commercial, operational). Prior findings are tracked with remediation status so you can see progress, not just current state.

Action Plan (Primary Deliverable): Executable tasks with level of effort estimates, calendar duration, dependencies, resource requirements, and priority sequencing. Organized into phases aligned with your business objectives — whether that’s market tier progression, audit preparation, or certification readiness. This is a planning framework, not a compliance checklist.

Summary Session: Working session to walk through deliverables, discuss priorities, and calibrate recommendations to your operational reality.

The assessment and action plan are yours regardless of next steps. You decide whether to execute internally, engage another firm, or bring us in for implementation.
