Deficiencies Kill Timelines. Most Are Predictable.

You spend months preparing a submission. Then regulators come back with questions that could have been anticipated — if you knew what they were looking for.

What Regulators Actually Cite

🧬 Biologics/Pharma (CMC)

  • Process validation incomplete
  • Stability data insufficient
  • Comparability not demonstrated
  • Analytical methods not validated
  • Data integrity gaps

🔬 Medical Devices (QSR/QMSR)

  • Design Controls (21 Warning Letters in FY2024)
  • CAPA failures (16 Warning Letters)
  • Complaint handling gaps (12 Warning Letters)
  • Risk analysis incomplete
  • Software validation missing
— ECA Academy, FY2024 FDA Warning Letter Analysis

The patterns are hiding in plain sight: warning letters, 483s, CRLs, EPAR assessments. These aren't random — they're systematic documentation gaps that keep appearing across submissions. Our platform screens for them before you file.

Predict What Regulators Will Ask — Before You Submit

Sigmatwin screens your CMC documentation against 60+ deficiency themes derived from real regulatory enforcement actions. You see exactly where your submission is weak — and get specific guidance on what to fix.

This isn't another enforcement database. It's a pre-submission screening engine that tells you what FDA, EMA, or PMDA will likely flag — before they see your filing.

How Pre-Submission Screening Actually Works

We're transparent about what this platform does — and what it doesn't.

📋

Pattern Matching, Not Prediction

We don't "predict" deficiencies for your specific product. We check whether your documentation addresses the themes that regulators consistently cite across the industry — regardless of product type.

Documentation Completeness

The platform screens for systematic documentation gaps: missing data, incomplete validation, unaddressed requirements. These are the preventable issues that appear in 74% of CMC-related CRLs.

📜

Standardized Requirements

CMC requirements are largely standardized. FDA doesn't stop requiring process validation because your drug is novel. We screen against requirements that apply to every submission in that category.

🎯

Theme-Based Analysis

Each theme maps to specific CFR citations or ICH guidelines. When we flag "Process Validation incomplete," we're checking: Are 3 batches documented? Is commercial scale addressed? Are CPPs defined?

Example: How We Screen for Process Validation

Your Document
CMC Module 3.2.P.3.5
We Check For
  • 3 consecutive batches documented?
  • Commercial scale mentioned?
  • Critical process parameters defined?
  • Acceptance criteria specified?
  • Protocol referenced?
Output
⚠️ HIGH RISK

"Commercial scale validation not demonstrated. See 21 CFR 211.100, FDA Process Validation Guidance (2011)."

What We Don't Do (Honest Limitations)

Scientific adequacy judgments

We can't assess whether your specific analytical method is scientifically sound

Product-specific clinical questions

Clinical review issues are outside CMC scope

Guarantee approval

Regulators make final decisions — we reduce preventable gaps

Predicate equivalence (510k)

Substantial equivalence requires case-by-case analysis

The Honest Value Proposition

"We don't guarantee approval. We guarantee you won't get rejected for preventable documentation gaps that others have already been cited for."

Purpose-Built for Your Product Type

Each module has specialized themes, jurisdiction weights, and regulatory citations tuned for that vertical.

Common Questions

How is this different from Redica or other enforcement databases?

Enforcement databases are excellent for post-inspection analysis and supplier due diligence. Sigmatwin is different — we screen YOUR documents against deficiency patterns BEFORE you submit. They tell you what happened to others; we catch what will happen to you. We're complementary, not competitive.

How can you screen a novel product with no predicate?

We don't predict product-specific scientific questions — those require regulatory expertise. What we screen for are DOCUMENTATION gaps: the systematic issues in 74% of CMC-related CRLs. Process validation requirements don't change because your drug is novel. Stability data expectations don't disappear for first-in-class. We check themes regulators consistently ask about — regardless of product type.

Could competitors like Redica build this?

Yes — the data is public and the technology isn't magic. But we're focused exclusively on pre-submission screening while they're focused on post-inspection analysis. Different buyer (Regulatory Affairs vs Quality), different use case, different sales motion. By the time they pivot, we'll have deeper vertical expertise and validated customer workflows.

Which jurisdictions do you cover?

FDA (CBER, CDER, CDRH), EMA, PMDA (Japan), MHRA (UK), Health Canada, TGA (Australia), ANVISA (Brazil), NMPA (China), CDSCO (India), Swissmedic, and COFEPRIS (Mexico). Each vertical has jurisdiction-specific theme weights calibrated to local enforcement patterns.

What document formats do you accept?

PDF, Word, and structured XML (eCTD Module 3 format). You can upload individual sections or entire CMC packages. Our parser extracts the relevant content automatically.

How accurate is the screening?

Our themes are derived from real enforcement actions with specific regulatory citations. We don't claim to catch every possible deficiency — but we systematically check against the patterns that appear most frequently in actual CRLs, warning letters, and assessment reports. Think of it as a pre-flight checklist, not a crystal ball.

What's the difference between screening and scientific review?

Screening checks documentation completeness: "Did you include process validation data?" Scientific review assesses adequacy: "Is your validation approach scientifically sound?" We do the first — systematically and automatically. The second still requires human expertise and regulatory judgment.

Can I use this for CDMO partner due diligence?

Yes. Upload their CMC documentation or quality agreements and screen against relevant themes. You'll see exactly where their processes may have gaps before you commit to a partnership.

How often is the enforcement data updated?

We continuously ingest new warning letters, 483s, and assessment reports. Theme weights are recalibrated quarterly based on enforcement trends. Enterprise customers can also ingest their own proprietary data to customize screening.

Do you guarantee approval if screening passes?

No. Regulators make final approval decisions based on many factors beyond CMC documentation. What we guarantee is that you won't be rejected for preventable documentation gaps that others have already been cited for. We reduce risk; we don't eliminate it.
