The problem

Validation isn’t hard. The evidence chain is.

Every audit finding lives in the same place: the seam between one document and the next. Four breaks, every time.

Qualitum keeps the chain intact - as data, not documents.

Documents & standards

End-to-end validation. Authored, traced, defended.

Nineteen deliverables across the CSV and CQV lifecycle, each linked to the requirement it proves.

Qualitum vs. Kneat, ValGenesis, Veeva

Digital validation was step one. Agentic is step two.

Legacy platforms built a paperless environment for human authors. Qualitum makes the agents the authors. The system of record is the byproduct.

Legacy digital validation

Paperless, still manual.

The templates moved into a browser. The authoring, the traceability matrix and the audit defence stayed with your people.

  • Humans author every protocol
  • Traceability rebuilt by hand at each change
  • Multi-quarter rollouts and implementation fees
  • Audit packs assembled the week before the audit
Qualitum

Agentic, and defensible.

Agents author and execute the lifecycle. The system of record, and the defence pack, is the byproduct, not the project.

  • Agents author URS to PQ, experts approve
  • Trace graph maintained continuously
  • Live in weeks, inside your own tenant
  • Defence pack exportable at any moment

Why not a QMS AI add-on?

Searching “AI for computer system validation” also surfaces point solutions bolted onto QMS platforms: MasterControl’s AI CAPA analytics, Veeva’s AI partner ecosystem, batch-record-review copilots such as Leucine. Those add an AI feature inside a system built to digitise paperwork; the validation lifecycle around it stays human-authored.

Qualitum’s agents author, execute and defend the CSV/CQV lifecycle itself, and the platform is validated as a GAMP 5 Category 4 baseline in its own right. You keep your eQMS. We sit above it and feed it cleaner records.

What buyers actually ask

Fifteen questions a Head of Validation asks first.

Clause-fluent answers you can forward to InfoSec, QA and procurement without editing.

How does Qualitum handle GAMP 5 categorisation across Categories 3, 4 and 5?

The agent classifies each system per GAMP 5 Second Edition: Category 3 (non-configured COTS), Category 4 (configured), Category 5 (custom developed). Classification drives test depth, supplier assessment and lifecycle artefact requirements.

Classification is reviewer-assistive, never autonomous. The agent proposes the category and reasoning. Your CSV lead confirms, escalates or overrides. The decision and rationale enter the audit trail.

How is CSA applied? Risk-based testing, native or bolted on?

CSA is native. Test scripts are scoped against patient-safety, product-quality and data-integrity risk, not a defaults checklist. Low-risk functionality gets unscripted dynamic testing; high-risk gets the full scripted approach with formal evidence capture.

The FDA Draft Guidance Computer Software Assurance (Sep 2022) is operationalised, aligned with ISPE GAMP 5 Second Edition and the ISPE CSA Concept Paper.

21 CFR Part 11: electronic signatures, audit trails, record retention. Walk me through it.

Electronic signatures (§11.50, §11.70, §11.100, §11.200). Each signature captures printed name, date/time and meaning, linked to records so they cannot be excised, copied or transferred.

Audit trails (§11.10(e)). Computer-generated, time-stamped, independent of operator action. Tamper-evident at the platform layer.

Record retention (§11.10(c)). Records protected for accurate, ready retrieval across the retention period. Configurable per record class; legal-hold supported.

EudraLex Annex 11, specifically §4, §7, §9 and §17. How do you handle each?

§4 (Validation). The platform is validated as a GAMP 5 Category 4 baseline; site configuration is validated in your CSV lifecycle.

§7 (Data storage). Data resides in your tenant, encrypted at rest with customer-managed keys.

§9 (Audit trails). Computer-generated, time-sequenced, tamper-evident. Reviewed continuously, not sampled.

§17 (Archiving). Data integrity preserved for the regulatory retention period; migration controls maintain readability.

Is the platform itself validated? Where is the VSR? Is there a Configuration Management Plan?

Yes to all three. The platform is validated as a GAMP 5 Category 4 baseline. The validation evidence pack is available under MNDA: Validation Plan, Risk Assessment, IQ/OQ summary, Traceability Matrix and Configuration Management Plan. Site configuration is validated in your CSV lifecycle.

Who validates the AI? Model governance, EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, ICH Q9(R1)?

The model layer is governed against multiple frameworks. EU AI Act: high-risk documentation per Articles 12 and 13; risk management per Article 9; human oversight per Article 14; post-market monitoring per Article 72. NIST AI RMF: GOVERN, MAP, MEASURE, MANAGE per agent. ICH Q9(R1) risk-based QRM on the AI lifecycle. Model cards per agent, signed releases, drift detection.

How do you integrate with our system of record: Kneat, ValGenesis, Veeva Vault?

Bi-directional, validated connectors. Three patterns: (A) author here, archive there. (B) author there, augment here: deviation triage, RTM maintenance, ALCOA+ audit on top of existing records. (C) replace the document layer, keep the eQMS.

Can we use this for legacy retrospective validation, or only forward-looking projects?

Both. Retrospective validation is a common entry point. The agent reads legacy documentation, reconstructs the trace graph, identifies gaps against current GAMP 5 expectations and drafts the remediation evidence pack.

How is ALCOA+ enforced? What does “continuously audited” mean operationally?

Every record passes the nine ALCOA+ criteria on every cycle: write-time validation at capture, plus independent review-time validation against the persisted record. Drift surfaces as a deviation draft. The sample size regulators expect (100%) at a throughput humans cannot sustain. Aligned with MHRA GxP Data Integrity Guidance, WHO TRS 1019 Annex 5 and PIC/S PI 041-1.

Deviation handling during test execution: who owns it? Who signs the CAPA?

The agent owns triage. Your QA owns the decision and the signature. The agent drafts the deviation record: what failed, what was expected, what was observed, impact, proposed root cause with citations. Handoff to your eQMS is bi-directional.

Inspection readiness: when the inspector arrives, what do they see?

Three things, on request, in real time. The narrative: walkthrough mode generates a guided narrative from VMP through every system, deviation and CAPA. The defence pack: every action attributable, tamper-evident, citable to the SOP clause. The trace graph: live and queryable, “show me the evidence for URS-014” in two clicks.

ATMP, cell-and-gene, Annex 1 (2022) sterile: does the platform handle those today?

Yes. Per-batch evidence assembly in line with manufacturing, chain-of-identity and custody captured as data, and Annex 1 (2022) aseptic alignment including CCS, PUPSIT, media fills and environmental monitoring. The CCS is maintained as a living artefact across sites, products and inspection cycles.

Deployment: private tenant, EU/US/UAE residency, on-prem. Walk me through the architecture.

Single-tenant VPC on AWS, Azure or on-prem. EU, US or UAE residency. Air-gap capable. Customer-managed keys (AWS KMS, Azure Key Vault, GCP KMS). No prompt content, completions, embeddings or telemetry leaves your network. Inference runs inside your VPC.

Models: frontier or local open-weights? Who chooses? Who retrains?

You choose, per workflow. Frontier (Claude, GPT, Gemini) via your hyperscaler partnership. Or local open-weights (Llama, Mistral, your fine-tune) on your GPU pool. Retraining on customer data is architecturally disabled.

Pricing model: perpetual, subscription, outcome-based? What does Year 1 look like?

Annual subscription on the platform; volume-based on the agentic systems you activate. No per-seat lock. Year 1 typically opens with a Pilot (8–12 weeks, one system, fixed fee) then an Enterprise agreement. See pricing.
