Navigator

Build a readiness plan around the milestone your team actually has.

Choose the role, target date, deliverable, and generalized context. The Navigator first gives you a live situational brief, then turns the same context into dated actions, handoffs, risks, and evidence checkpoints.

Readiness model

Eight dimensions shape every readiness plan.

Each dimension stays visible so the planning logic is understandable before you generate anything.

01Role

Sets the accountability lens. The same milestone produces different responsibilities across Programming, Biostatistics, Data Management, Regulatory, Clinical, Safety/PV, and Submission Operations/Data Standards.

02Milestone

Defines the event you are preparing for, such as database lock, dry run, health authority response, startup, submission, safety update, or late change.

03Target date

Anchors the workflow to real calendar dates so actions become scheduled checkpoints rather than an undated checklist.

04Deliverable

Narrows the plan to what is actually being delivered, such as ADaM + TLFs, SDTM, pooled analyses, metadata, figures, or a regulatory response package.

05Dependencies

Surfaces the upstream inputs, decisions, transfers, access, reviews, and handoffs that can prevent the work from progressing.

06Risk

Highlights failure points that can threaten quality, timing, interpretation, reproducibility, or submission readiness.

07Evidence

Defines what proves a checkpoint is truly closed, such as QC records, approvals, reconciliation evidence, logs, or final package references.

08OutputAction plan

Combines the selected context into dated, role-specific actions with collaborators, ownership and handoffs, and evidence expectations.

The information is intentionally visible in every tile. Hover or keyboard-focus adds only a subtle motion cue; no planning detail is hidden behind an interaction.

Ready when you are

Your plan will appear here.

Choose your role, milestone, target date, and deliverable. You can then save the plan to Workspace, copy it, print it, or add the dated actions to your calendar.

Role-specific by design

The milestone backbone is shared. Your responsibilities should not be.

A database lock has common cross-functional gates regardless of role, but the action expected from Programming, Statistics, Data Management, Regulatory, Clinical, Safety/PV, and Submission Operations/Data Standards is different. The Navigator keeps a common milestone backbone while adding a distinct role action and collaborator view to every generated step.

Programming

Implementation & reproducibility

Specifications, derivations, code readiness, QC, rerun control, traceability, and technical dependency escalation.

Biostatistics

Analysis decisions & interpretation

Estimands, populations, assumptions, statistical interpretation, review priorities, and acceptance of analysis-impacting decisions.

Data Management

Source-data readiness

Cleaning status, transfer completeness, query closure, external-data reconciliation, and transparent disposition of unresolved data issues.

Regulatory

Submission purpose & package

Authority question, response strategy, delivery expectations, submission components, timing, and consistency of technical content with the regulatory objective.

Clinical / Study Lead

Clinical context & escalation

Protocol intent, clinically meaningful issues, protocol deviations, prioritization, decision ownership, and cross-functional escalation.

Safety / PV

Safety interpretation & reconciliation

Safety cutoff, medically important events, coding/reconciliation, exposure context, aggregate consistency, and escalation of safety-significant changes.

Submission Operations / Data Standards

Technical package & regional readiness

Applicable standards, metadata, validation findings, publishing dependencies, package inventory, regional technical requirements, and transfer evidence.
