HEADLINE OUTCOMES
Three outcomes that anchor the engagement.
6+ months → minutes
An SOP overhaul, compressed
An SOP overhaul for a small-to-midsize pharmaceutical company, compressed to minutes per document, including human review time.
40 SOPs / 3 regulations
Reviewed across six functional areas
Forty SOPs reviewed against three regulatory sets, across six functional areas.
78%
Low to moderate readiness
Nearly 80% of SOPs showed low to moderate readiness, surfacing significant compliance and regulatory gaps for update. Only 9 of 40 presented high readiness.

THE CHALLENGE
40 SOPs. Three regulations. Every document at risk.
When a small-to-midsize pharmaceutical client engaged Ascendia to overhaul its SOP library, the scale of the challenge was immediate. Every document had to be checked against three regulatory sets, reformatted to a new template, and reviewed to ensure no update created a conflict across cross-functional procedures.
In a regulated environment, SOPs don’t exist in isolation. Comparing document against document across six functional areas is painstaking, expert work.
01
Manual overhead
Line-by-line reviews take months for internal teams, or weeks with expensive external consultants.
02
Cross-functional conflicts
Keeping six functional areas cohesive adds complexity that manual review handles poorly at scale.
03
Regulatory currency
Every changing regulation triggers a cascade review and a recurring drain on expert time.
04
Risk blind spots
Unknown gaps stay unknown until an audit surfaces them, often at significant cost.
“When a new regulation is issued and you’re responsible for a library of 100 SOPs, you’re suddenly forced to re-evaluate every single one to confirm alignment with that updated requirement. One change triggers a full compliance sweep across the entire SOP set.”
THE SOLUTION
A fundamentally different process.
Amy fed the existing SOP library into Max’s Sentinel. Max checked each document against relevant regulatory frameworks, flagged gaps, identified cross-functional conflicts, and produced proposed language.
The output wasn’t another report to act on. It was a red-lined, version-controlled document designed for review and immediate submission through the company’s established workflow.

01
Gap identification
Specific gaps flagged against each target regulation and prioritized by severity.
02
Risk flags
New regulatory risks surfaced, including conflicts across SOPs.
03
Proposed language
Replacement text drafted inside the document, ready for expert review.

05
Regulatory breadth
Documents checked against a wide range of regulatory frameworks.
06
Human-in-the-loop
Expert judgment stays central; the solution augments it rather than replacing it.

IN THEIR WORDS
“The GenasysAI solution is very tailored specifically for what the client is trying to get out of it. The client doesn’t need to come up with all the prompts required to get what they’re looking for like they do with Copilot or ChatGPT.”
