FAQs
What is the first move if our pipeline is delayed?
Re-sequence studies, lock protocol and country choices, and stand up a start-up task force with weekly issue burn-down. Tie decisions to impact on time, risk, and spend.
How do you connect regulatory and launch?
We align CMC, labeling, and evidence with payer asks. A single timeline links submission, access dossiers, pricing, and field readiness to reduce late surprises.
Can you support inspections and remediation?
Yes. We run readiness drills, build CAPA plans with owners and dates, and monitor proof packs so fixes are durable and auditable.
