How It Works

From Draft to Defensible, Before MLR

A seven-step process that evaluates promotional material against a curated regulatory corpus, then feeds an explainable, citation-backed output directly into your existing review workflow.

1

Intake

Submit the material — script, storyboard, print ad, social post, website copy, leave-behind, or video — along with context: indication, claims being made, target audience, and channel.

2

Claim & Element Extraction

The platform identifies the discrete promotional claims, presentations, and risk-relevant elements — the units FDA actually evaluates individually.

3

Precedent Cross-Reference

Each claim and element is checked against the curated corpus: enforcement letters, statutes, regulations, guidance, and case law.

4

Regulatory Principles & Evaluation Gateways

Findings run through a structured framework of gateways — fair balance, substantiation, risk presentation, net impression — rather than one collapsed score.

5

Evidence Weighting & Risk Output

Each finding is weighted: a direct precedent match, an analogous case, or a general regulatory principle with no direct citation. Full citation trail included.

6

Explainable Remediation

Sourced, specific suggestions for reducing each identified risk — often more than one defensible option.

7

Handoff to MLR & Legal

The structured output feeds into your existing MLR and legal review process. It informs that process — it does not replace it, and issues no approval or rejection.

The output is a citation trail, not a black-box score.

Every risk finding traces back to the specific precedent, statute, regulation, or guidance passage behind it — tiered by how directly it applies. That's what makes it usable in a regulated environment: your team can see the reasoning, not just the conclusion.

Handoff, not replacement

MLR, legal, and regulatory sign-off remain yours.

OPDP Intelligence informs your review process. It does not sit in place of MLR, legal, or regulatory review, and it does not issue approvals or rejections.
