Product Quality Review

Annual quality reviews in minutes, not months.

BatchCortex aggregates every batch, every deviation, every sensor reading into a regulatory-ready PQR document. AI writes the executive summary. Your QP signs it.

The document every inspector asks for

What is a PQR?

A Product Quality Review is a mandatory annual review of all batches manufactured for a given product. It evaluates process performance, deviation trends, CAPA effectiveness, and whether your process remains in a validated state of control.

Why does it matter?

Inspectors ask for it. EU GMP Chapter 1 §1.10, FDA 21 CFR 211.180(e), and ICH Q10 all require periodic product reviews. A weak PQR is one of the most common audit findings in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

How BatchCortex automates it

Select a product and date range. BatchCortex aggregates every batch, every sensor reading, every deviation — runs Cpk analysis, Nelson rules, OOS/OOT detection, and trend regression — then generates an AI-written executive summary. Your QP signs it.

Enterprise-grade statistical analysis. Not just charts.

Every method used in BatchCortex PQR is validated for pharmaceutical process monitoring by FDA and EMA guidelines.

Cpk Process Capability

4-tier rating system: Unacceptable (<1.0), Marginal (1.0–1.33), Capable (≥1.33), Excellent (≥2.0). Monthly Cpk trends show capability over time. Flags parameters that need attention before inspectors do.

Nelson Rules

Six statistical rules that detect non-random variation in your process data. Consecutive points on one side of the centerline, alternating patterns, points beyond 2σ — BatchCortex flags them all automatically.

OOS / OOT Detection

Out of Specification values trigger investigation. Out of Trend values — within spec but drifting toward the warning zone — trigger enhanced monitoring. Both are broken down by parameter with event-level detail.

Linear Regression

Every parameter gets a trend classification: stable, increasing, or decreasing. Based on slope and R² goodness-of-fit. Catches slow drift that visual inspection misses.

Deviation Severity

Automatic classification from ML confidence scores. Critical (≥85% confidence or failure mode detected), Major (≥60%), Minor (everything else). Aggregated by type, parameter, and month.

CAPA Effectiveness

Tracks which corrective actions actually worked. Recurrence rate calculation identifies deviation types that keep coming back. Flags overdue CAPAs and measures closed-on-time percentage.

AI writes the first draft. Your QP owns the final word.

Mistral AI generates the executive summary and recommendations based on the statistical analysis. Every output is clearly labeled as AI-generated and requires human review before it becomes a GMP record.

What the AI generates

  • Executive summary covering process capability, deviation trends, and CAPA effectiveness
  • Mandatory action items — each assigned to a role, with a deadline, and a verification method
  • Regulatory conclusions: validated state of control, revalidation recommendations, specification changes
  • Triggered by data: Cpk < 1.33, Nelson violations, OOS events, yield < 95%, or FPR > 30%

Annex 22 Compliant

  • Human-in-the-loop: QP must sign
  • Model disclosed: mistral-large-latest
  • Labeled: "AI-Generated Draft"
  • Non-critical: advisory only

Compare this year to last year. Automatically.

Every PQR is automatically linked to the previous review for the same product. No manual lookup, no spreadsheet comparisons.

  • Automatic linkage to the previous PQR for the same product
  • Yield rate delta — year-over-year change at a glance
  • Deviation count comparison across review periods
  • Cpk parameter-by-parameter: improved or degraded flags for every critical parameter
  • Trend continuity — see if last year's issues were resolved or persisted

Built for inspectors.
