The Platform

Every feature built around
pharmaceutical compliance

Six deeply integrated capabilities that take your C&Q documentation from specification to signed, submission-ready document.

Feature 01

AI Document Authoring

From specs to first draft in minutes.

Protokol AI reads your uploaded equipment specifications, URS documents, and templates, then generates a fully structured C&Q document — complete with numbered sections, regulatory references, acceptance criteria, and test steps.

Every section is grounded in your actual project documents via Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). The AI does not make up specifications; it cites them. If a spec value isn't in your vault, the section flags it for your review.

What's included
Supports IQ, OQ, PQ, DQ, FAT, SAT, and RTM document types
Section-by-section generation with regulatory citation
AI suggestions panel showing source references in real time
Configurable templates — start from yours or ours
Inline refinement: accept, reject, or rewrite any AI suggestion
Feature 02

21 CFR Part 11 E-Signatures

Electronic signatures built for pharmaceutical compliance.

Protokol implements electronic signatures that meet the technical requirements of 21 CFR Part 11 — the FDA regulation governing electronic records and signatures in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Each signature captures a unique identity verification, an acknowledgement statement confirming the signer's understanding and intent, a timestamp, and a link to the exact document version signed. Signatures are cryptographically linked to the document and cannot be transferred or reused.

What's included
Role-specific signature flows: Author, Reviewer, QA Approver
Required acknowledgement statement on every signature
Immutable: signatures cannot be edited, deleted, or backdated
Full Clerk-based identity verification behind every signature
Audit-traceable to user account, timestamp, and document hash
Feature 03

RTM Auto-linking

Requirements traceability — automatically.

The Requirements Traceability Matrix (RTM) is one of the most time-consuming documents in a C&Q project, requiring manual cross-referencing between URS requirements and test protocols. Protokol eliminates this with AI-powered auto-linking.

Upload your URS and test protocols. Protokol AI reads both, identifies requirement references, and populates the RTM automatically — linking each requirement to the test cases that verify it. Gaps are flagged immediately. Run it on demand or schedule a nightly refresh.

What's included
Auto-populates RTM from uploaded URS and test protocols
Confidence scoring on each AI-made link
Gap detection: requirements with no linked test highlighted
On-demand run or nightly scheduled scan
Export the completed RTM as DOCX or PDF
Feature 04

Knowledge Vault

Your documents become your AI's knowledge base.

The Knowledge Vault is a project-level library where you upload SOPs, equipment manuals, P&IDs, URS documents, and historical protocols. Protokol indexes every document using Voyage AI embeddings, making the content available for AI retrieval during document generation.

When the AI writes a section, it searches the vault for relevant content, pulls the right passages, and cites them. This means every generated section is grounded in your specific equipment and process — not generic boilerplate.

What's included
Supports PDF, DOCX, and plain text uploads
LlamaParse-powered extraction with high accuracy on technical PDFs
Voyage AI vector embeddings for semantic search
Chunk-level citation — AI shows exactly which vault document it used
Per-project vault with organisation-level template library
Feature 05

DOCX & PDF Export

Submission-ready documents with one click.

Once a document is reviewed and approved, export it in the format your customer or DMS requires. Protokol generates professional Word (.docx) files with correct heading styles, numbered sections, tables, and formatted acceptance criteria — ready to drop into any Document Management System.

PDF export is handled via Chromium-based rendering for pixel-perfect output. Both formats carry the document metadata, revision number, and approval status in the header/footer.

What's included
DOCX generation with full heading hierarchy and styles
PDF rendering via Puppeteer/Chromium for precise layout
Document header/footer with protocol ID, revision, and status
Bulk export: download all approved documents in a project
Revision history included as an appendix
Feature 06

Immutable Audit Trail

Every action. Every version. Forever.

Protokol maintains a complete, append-only audit log of every action taken on every document in the platform. This log cannot be modified, deleted, or backdated by any user — including administrators.

At the time of approval, the full document content is hashed (SHA-256) and the hash is stored in the audit log alongside the approver's identity and timestamp. This provides cryptographic proof that the approved content has not been altered since approval.

What's included
Append-only audit log — tamper-evident by design
Document content hashing at approval time (SHA-256)
Records: create, edit, comment, review, approve, reject, export
All versions retained indefinitely — roll back to any point
Export audit trail as PDF for regulatory inspection
