FDA-VALIDATION ADVISORY

Ship AI features at AI speed.
Keep FDA discipline.

Validation paperwork is the bottleneck between your AI feature and your FDA submission. We use AI agents to compress the paperwork without compromising the rigor.

The problem we solve

PROBLEM 1

The paperwork bottleneck

Design controls, V&V, traceability matrices, risk files. Every release. Manual. Expensive. Slow. The team that ships the product is the team that documents it, and they do not scale.

PROBLEM 2

AI/ML needs new patterns

FDA's AI/ML guidance (Predetermined Change Control Plan, Good Machine Learning Practice, SaMD framework) is evolving. Off-the-shelf consultants do not yet know how to translate it into shipping code.

PROBLEM 3

Agents augment, they do not replace

Agents draft what your team would have drafted anyway. Your team reviews and signs. That is how AI gets into a regulated workflow safely, with accountability intact.

What we deliver

Three tiers. Fixed-price engagements with named deliverables. Discovery call is free.

TIER 1

FDA Architecture Review

2-4 weeks

gap analysis + 12-month roadmap

A senior outside read on your current AI/DSP/ML architecture in the context of FDA requirements, plus a 12-month prioritized roadmap.

  • · 25-40 page architecture report
  • · Gap analysis vs IEC 62304 / ISO 14971 / 21 CFR 820
  • · Risk register (severity x reversibility)
  • · Prioritized 12-month roadmap
  • · 2-hour executive readout, recorded

TIER 2 · POST-REVIEW

FDA Implementation

8-16 weeks

scoped in writing up front

Scoped build of priority items from your Architecture Review roadmap. We deliver draft regulatory deliverables produced by our pipeline and reviewed by your qualified team, plus application code built under your design controls where in scope. You remain the manufacturer of record; we do not certify compliance and we do not deliver validated software.

  • · Risk file draft (ISO 14971), for your review and approval
  • · V&V plan draft and test evidence for the software we build, for your DHF
  • · Design controls documentation drafts (21 CFR 820 / ISO 13485)
  • · Traceability matrix
  • · Application code built under your design controls, where in scope
  • · Tool assurance package for the agents we use (see below)
  • · Handoff session + 30-day support window
Discovery call

TIER 3

FDA Retainer

Monthly

rolling · 3-month minimum

Monthly engagement for clients who finished an Implementation and want ongoing access to the architect and the regulatory pipeline.

  • · Monthly design control review
  • · On-call regulatory + technical advisory
  • · Quarterly readiness audit
  • · Optional small build slots
Discovery call

All engagements are a fixed fee agreed in writing before kickoff. No hourly billing, no surprise bills.

OUR APPROACH

AgentMedReg, in production

AgentMedReg is our proprietary multi-agent architecture for FDA-regulated software development. Ten agents covering regulatory strategy, risk management, design controls, V&V, human factors, and CAPA, with a bookend pattern that opens and closes every engagement.

We invented it because we needed it. It runs on our own engagements before it runs on yours.

Who this is for

RIGHT FIT

  • ✓ You ship Class II or Class III medical device software, or DiTx under FDA jurisdiction.
  • ✓ You have an AI/ML feature shipping or planned, with FDA implications.
  • ✓ Your team is stretched on validation paperwork.
  • ✓ You have a pre-sub or 510(k) on your roadmap.
  • ✓ $5M-$500M revenue, $20-100M sweet spot.

NOT A FIT

  • ✗ Pre-IDE with no formal QMS yet.
  • ✗ Hardware-only with no software.
  • ✗ Pharma / drug-only product.
  • ✗ You want a regulatory strategy consultant only. We are software-first.

Why we can credibly deliver this

FOUNDER BACKGROUND

Abel Villca, founder and architect. Background includes Roche and Silicon Valley health-tech startups. Has sat through pre-sub meetings, written design control documents, and shipped software and prediction ML algorithms under FDA regulation.

BOARD OF ADVISORS REVIEW

Every engagement is reviewed by a matched advisor from our Board of Advisors. PhD in Computer Science with distributed-systems expertise (University of Geneva), PhD in laser physics and DSP (Belarusian State University), Daxtro SA embedded-systems industry experience (Switzerland). The matched advisor signs off on the architecture report's domain-specific section.

WHAT WE ARE NOT

You stay the manufacturer of record

  • · We do not deliver validated software and we do not certify compliance with any regulation or standard.
  • · We are not a notified body, a registrar or a regulatory law firm, and we do not issue regulatory opinions.
  • · Every document our agents produce is a draft. Your qualified people review, edit and approve it under your QMS before it enters your design history file.
  • · Software we build for your product is developed under your design controls and your purchasing controls; validation and release decisions are yours.

TOOL ASSURANCE PACKAGE

So your quality team can assure our tools quickly

Software used in a quality system has to be validated for its intended use by the manufacturer. Our drafting agents are that kind of software. With every engagement we hand your quality team what a risk-based assurance under FDA's Computer Software Assurance approach needs:

  • · Intended-use statement and risk assessment for each agent
  • · Version control of prompts, rules and models, with change history
  • · Audit trail of inputs, outputs and the human review gate on each output
  • · Installation and operational evidence, test cases and results

How we work

FAQ

Do you replace our regulatory consultancy?▸

No. We complement them. They handle submission strategy and FDA interactions; we handle the software, AI, and the agent-augmented documentation that connects the two.

Are your agents themselves FDA-validated?▸

No, and we do not claim they are. Two cases. Software we build into your product is device software: it is developed under your design controls and validated and released by you as the manufacturer. Our drafting agents are tools used in your quality system: you validate them for their intended use, and we supply the tool assurance package that makes that a risk-based, short exercise. In both cases every output is reviewed and approved by your qualified people. The agents do not sign off; your team does.

What about 21 CFR Part 11 / data integrity?▸

Part 11 considerations are part of every engagement. We help you map workflows to Part 11 requirements; we do not sell Part 11 software as a product.

How do you stay current with FDA's AI/ML guidance?▸

We actively track FDA's AI/ML lifecycle program, GMLP, PCCP guidance, and SaMD framework. Public references on our blog.

Do you sign NDAs?▸

Yes, mutual NDAs as standard. Template available on request.

Can you work under our existing QMS?▸

Yes. Our deliverables are designed to slot into your QMS, not replace it.

Where are your engineers?▸

Seattle, WA. Architecture, sales and client-facing work are Seattle-based, with full overlap with US business hours. All client-facing work is in English.
