Measure How Quality and Regulatory Processes Are Performed and Identify Where to Reduce Cycle Time

Pyze measures how deviation and CAPA handling, change control, document and SOP control, audit readiness, submission tracking and complaint handling are performed, and identifies where automation and AI agents apply.

Engagement archetypes from Pyze deployments across regulated operations rather than a single named account. Pyze measures how work is performed and does not assess the content of any record.

Quality and regulatory teams manage records of record in a quality management system, a document management system and a regulatory information system, and the work around those records is performed in email, spreadsheets and shared trackers. Deviation investigations, CAPA effectiveness checks, change impact assessments, periodic SOP reviews and inspection preparation each involve assembling evidence from several systems. Pyze measures that work. Pyze does not make quality, regulatory or compliance determinations.

Common Findings in Regulatory and Quality Operations

Four patterns that recur across engagements, each shown with the measurement and the resulting change.

Deviation investigations take longer than the target closure period, and the investigator assembles batch, equipment and prior event history from several systems.

Agentify
What the measurement shows

Pyze measures the time an investigator spends in the quality system, the manufacturing and laboratory systems and spreadsheets for each deviation type. The evidence gathering steps that repeat across deviations of the same category are identified.

What changes

Related history is assembled for the investigator at the time the deviation is opened, so the investigation time is directed to root cause analysis.

Change controls are routed to many functional reviewers, and the same impact questions are asked of each change.

Simplify
What the measurement shows

Pyze measures the elapsed time at each reviewer and the rework between initiation and approval. The change types where the reviewer set and the impact assessment are consistent are identified.

What changes

Review routing is tiered by change type and measured outcomes, so that low-impact changes follow a shorter path under the existing change control procedure.

Periodic SOP reviews and training assignments are tracked in spreadsheets alongside the document management system.

Automate
What the measurement shows

Pyze measures the effort spent reconciling document status, effective dates and training records across systems, and the number of manual follow-ups required to complete a review cycle.

What changes

Review due dates, status reconciliation and reminders are maintained from the system records, and document owners receive the work when it is due.

Preparation for an inspection or audit draws on the same people who run daily quality operations.

Standardize
What the measurement shows

Pyze measures how much time the preparation takes from daily operations, which records are requested most often and where they are retrieved from. The retrieval steps that repeat for each request are identified.

What changes

A documented retrieval path for frequently requested records is built from how the fastest team members locate them, which reduces the load on subject matter experts.

Opportunity Register

A sample register, sorted by the lever that resolves each opportunity. In an engagement, each line carries measured hours, a named owner and the evidence it was derived from.

Automate and Agentify are distinct findings. Scheduling a report is deterministic work with a stated rule. Diagnosing an exception is a decision. Separating the two prevents a register from over-scoping the first and missing the second.

Instrumentation is configured per application rather than per person, so the population in scope is set during scoping and is not a deployment constraint.

How an Engagement Runs

Baseline, blueprint, transform, prove

The same four stages apply in every sector. The fourth stage repeats the baseline measurement, which makes the engagement an ongoing operating capability rather than a one-time report.

01

Baseline

What the work costs today, measured across every person and application.

02

Blueprint

Procedures, application rules and execution evidence, read as one target state.

03

Transform

Where each of the five levers applies, priced and owned.

04

Prove

The after state measured against the baseline, using the same method.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Pyze make quality, regulatory or compliance determinations?
No. Pyze does not make quality, regulatory or compliance determinations, and it does not assess the content of any record. It measures how the work around deviations, CAPAs, changes, documents and complaints is performed. Decisions remain with qualified staff under existing procedures.
What data does Pyze collect?
Interaction metadata only: application, screen, sequence and timing. Collection is limited to a whitelist of business applications. Pyze never captures keystrokes, field values, free text or screen contents, and identifiers are pseudonymous.
We already report deviation and CAPA cycle times from our quality system. What does this add?
The quality system records the dates a record changed state. Pyze measures the work between those dates, including evidence gathering across systems, review rework and tracker maintenance, which allows the effort within each stage to be priced.
Does measurement affect our validated systems?
No. Pyze observes interaction metadata and does not modify the quality system, the document management system or any record. Any later automation of a step is a separate change that follows the validation and change control procedures for that system.

Start with a measured baseline

Six weeks from instrumentation to a priced opportunity register, and the baseline stays in place so later quarters are measured rather than re-estimated.
