Services

Strategy and execution from the same senior team.

We help early-stage biotech and pharma teams bridge strategy and execution, combining expert guidance with AI-powered, fit-for-purpose data products.

Execution partnership

A hands-on team that does the work

  • FDA-ready SDTM/ADaM, define.xml and TFLs
  • CSRs, topline and board-ready packages
  • R/Shiny dashboards for data review
  • Data ingestion automation and warehousing
  • Fixed pricing, no change-order games

Strategic advisory

Fractional senior leadership

  • Clinical development planning with AI
  • Decision support in the planning phase
  • Data standards and regulatory strategy
  • Validated SCE design and AI adoption
  • Fixed-price projects (for example, an AI adoption pilot) or hourly support (for example, shaping your enterprise AI policy)

We work across your whole data flow, from EDC to the board deck.

ADVISE + EXECUTE
Computing environment
Guide the SAS and R environment choice, then design and validate it.
EXECUTE
Outputs
Static TFLs for board, CSR, DSUR and IB, plus interactive R/Shiny dashboards.

AI adoption in biometrics

Adopt AI on evidence, not on hype.

Can AI accelerate SDTM → ADaM → TFL programming while keeping the quality and traceability a regulatory submission demands? We answer that with you, on your own study.

1 · SETUP
Your standards encoded as AI instructions before any code is written.
2 · SDTM
One dataset: spec, SAS program, independent QC.
3 · ADaM
One dataset: spec, SAS program, independent QC.
4 · TFL
One table from an annotated shell, with independent QC.
5 · READOUT
Results measured against your completed study.
Process document
How the AI-assisted workflow runs: roles, controls, review and sign-off points.
Pilot report
Cycle time vs. baseline, QC findings and rework, traceability evidence.
Scale-up strategy
Roadmap, governance and validation approach, resourcing and cost model.

Your programmers approve every output. Nothing is final without human sign-off.

R/Shiny interactive analytics

See your data while there’s still time to act on it.

Working alongside your CRO

Your CRO runs the trial. You own the answers.

Your CRO runs the study
  • Site management and monitoring
  • Data management and EDC
  • Contracted SDTM, ADaM and TFL deliverables
  • Study operations
TrapezoidX works on your side of the table
  • Independent QC of CRO data deliverables
  • Early-look and ad hoc analyses on your timeline
  • Data quality monitoring reports
  • Interactive dashboards across studies
  • Vendor oversight and data standards

No scope overlap. You get speed and an independent view of your data without duplicated work.

Clinical development planning with AI

Make design decisions on the full body of evidence.

The choices you make before first patient in (indication, endpoints, eligibility, sample size) set the cost, timeline and credibility of your entire program.

01 · Query
AI connected to ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed and other sources pulls every relevant trial and publication.
02 · Evidence table
Findings organized by design, endpoints, eligibility and enrollment, each traced to its NCT number or PMID.
03 · Senior review
Our team checks, interprets and flags what matters for your program.
04 · Design inputs
Decision-ready inputs for your clinical development plan and protocol.
What AI gives you

Competitive trial landscape, endpoint and eligibility benchmarking, and published effect sizes for your power calculations, across your indication in days instead of weeks.

What we add

20+ years in clinical data analytics: endpoints chosen now that you can analyze cleanly and submit to FDA later. Your clinical leadership owns the medical judgment. Under NDA from day one.

Statistical computing environments

Validated environments, built by people who’ve built them before.

What sponsors usually ask us first.

How do you validate AI-assisted outputs?

Every AI-assisted output gets independent QC by a QC agent and a senior programmer, and nothing is final without human sign-off. Each output is logged to its specification, the AI instructions and model version used, and the reviewer.

Can you work alongside our existing CRO?

Yes. Your CRO runs the study; we work on your side of the table, with independent QC of CRO deliverables, early looks on your timeline, data quality monitoring and vendor oversight. There’s no scope overlap.

How do you price engagements?

Execution work is fixed-price for a defined scope, with no change orders. Advisory work is fixed-price or hourly, depending on the project: an AI adoption pilot is fixed-price, while shaping an enterprise AI policy is hourly.

How do you ensure continuity on our program?

Continuity is built in. All code is documented and reproducible in our system, so no deliverable depends on any one person. Our partner network extends the team when a program needs it.

What happens after the scoping call?

We come back with a proposed scope, timeline and price. Work runs under NDA from day one, and if the first deliverable isn’t submission-ready and on the timeline agreed in the SOW, you don’t pay for it.
