Assemble multidisciplinary diligence for research programs

Bring scientific, legal, and market evidence into one review packet before experts compare program priorities.

6 implementation stepsAdvanced

How this works

Bring scientific, legal, and market evidence into one review packet before experts compare program priorities. Scientific promise, legal rights, and market opportunity can point in different directions. A combined diligence packet should expose those disagreements rather than average them into a confident score that hides a decisive unresolved issue.

Organize separate evidence tracks for scientific, legal, and commercial questions, using common program identifiers and dates. Specialists retain responsibility for their conclusions. The assistant assembles cited findings and contradictions so a decision panel can focus on material uncertainties.

Before you start

Decision mandate

Define the program decision and the depth of diligence requested.

Discipline questions

Agree the questions each specialist must answer.

Evidence access

Identify approved program documents and public materials with access limits.

Prepare the inputs

program_profile
Required

Identity and scope

Resolve the specific asset, indication, or application.

scientific_packet
Required

Studies and technical records

Retain methods, dates, and limitations.

rights_packet
Required

Ownership and agreement evidence

Do not infer legal rights from marketing claims.

market_packet
Required

Demand and competitive evidence

Separate observed data from forecasts.

decision_criteria
Required

Panel priorities

Identify blocking questions and non-compensable constraints.

Implementation, step by step

  1. Scope the diligence questions

    • Translate the mandate into discipline-specific questions and required evidence.
    • Identify issues that cannot be offset by a strong score elsewhere.

    Checkpoint: A diligence plan.

  2. Inventory evidence

    • Record document versions, source types, access limits, and missing materials.
    • Keep confidential data within the approved workspace and preserve originals.

    Checkpoint: An evidence manifest.

  3. Draft separate discipline findings

    • Summarize what each packet supports and where interpretation remains uncertain.
    • Attach passages and avoid allowing one track's optimism to fill another track's gaps.

    Checkpoint: Three distinct finding sets.

  4. Check cross-track consistency

    • Compare program identity, dates, population, ownership, and commercial assumptions across the tracks.
    • Surface contradictions such as a market model using a different intended use.

    Checkpoint: A material-issue register.

  5. Prepare the panel packet

    • Present supported findings, contrary evidence, blocking gaps, and focused follow-up questions.
    • Avoid a composite score unless the panel supplied a justified scoring method.

    Checkpoint: A review-ready diligence brief.

  6. Capture specialist resolution

    • Record corrections and the evidence that resolves or leaves each issue open.
    • Maintain decision status separately from the assistant's draft assessment.

    Checkpoint: A revised packet and decision log.

Decisions along the way

A decisive rights question is unanswered

Treat it as blocking for the relevant decision rather than offsetting it with market potential.

Scientific evidence concerns another population

Flag limited applicability and request expert interpretation.

Commercial forecasts use unsupported assumptions

Show sensitivity or leave the estimate unresolved.

What you will produce

diligence-evidence.csv

CSV

Supports specialist verification.

Include: question_id · discipline · finding · source_ref · limitations · reviewer · status

program-diligence-packet.md

Markdown

Focuses the decision panel on material evidence.

Include: mandate · findings · contradictions · blocking_gaps · next_actions

Check the result

  • Verify each material conclusion has a source locator.
  • Check the same program and use case are assessed across tracks.
  • Keep legal, scientific, and commercial uncertainties distinct.
  • Confirm qualified reviewers approved conclusions attributed to them.

When something goes wrong

A source is inaccessible

Retain the gap and narrow the conclusion.

The assistant collapses disagreement into an average score

Restore separate findings and blocking issues.

New evidence invalidates a premise

Mark dependent sections for revision before panel use.

A worked example

SYNTHETIC EXAMPLE · NOT A REPORTED BUSINESS RESULT

Request

Prepare diligence for an early research program.

Inputs

Synthetic example. Synthetic scientific records concern population A; the market forecast assumes population B; ownership documents are incomplete.

Expected result

Synthetic expected result. The packet flags applicability and ownership as separate unresolved questions. It does not conclude the program is safe, legally available, or investment-ready.

Run a small pilot

Start small

One bounded program and a limited set of questions per discipline.

Record the baseline

Record expert review time and material omissions in the existing process.

Agree success criteria

Agree citation completeness and issue-detection usefulness with the panel.

Stop or revise

Stop decision-ready labeling when a blocking question lacks specialist review.

Keep the scope clear

  • The workflow does not establish clinical safety, legal rights, or investment suitability.
  • Preparing a packet does not authorize transactions or disclosure of confidential material.

Check before using

Qualified specialists must validate conclusions. The workflow organizes evidence; it cannot establish clinical safety, legal rights, or investment suitability.

Business activities

  • Research customers and markets
  • Plan products and business changes
