The Audit Reality

What Auditors Actually Examine

During inspections, audits, and formal reviews, regulators focus on a small set of verifiable facts. These questions determine whether records are trusted or subjected to deeper scrutiny.

Question 1

When exactly was this data finalized?

Not when it was entered. Not when it was exported. When was it formally locked?

Question 2

How do you know it was not modified later?

Can integrity be demonstrated, not just asserted?

Question 3

How were corrections handled?

Is the correction history transparent and complete?

Question 4

Can this be independently verified?

Or does verification rely on internal assurances?

Traditionally, answering these questions requires explanations, screenshots, and reliance on internal audit logs.

TestLedger removes interpretation from the audit process by making the record itself the answer.

Real Inspection Scenario

During an FDA inspection, an auditor requests the full lineage of a diagnostic result generated 14 months prior, including who performed the test, when the record was finalized, whether any corrections were made, and proof that the data hasn't been altered since.

With TestLedger, the complete, time-stamped, cryptographically sealed record is retrieved in seconds, with no manual reconstruction, no explanations required.

System of Record

The TestLedger System of Record

TestLedger™ Compliance Platform is a documentation system designed to preserve the integrity of regulated test records when they are examined, challenged, or independently reviewed.

The platform captures test activity, operator actions, timestamps, and supporting evidence into a single record that is intentionally finalized and cryptographically sealed. Once sealed, the record becomes tamper-evident and independently verifiable, without reliance on internal explanations, screenshots, or reconstructed logs.

TestLedger is outcome-agnostic by design. It does not interpret results, make regulatory determinations, or replace existing quality systems. Its role is to ensure that records remain complete, traceable, and defensible whenever they are reviewed.

Built for teams accountable for regulated testing, audit readiness, and record integrity. Applicable to CLIA, DOT, and other regulated testing programs.

How TestLedger Preserves Record Integrity

TestLedger enforces record integrity through system-controlled mechanisms that remove reliance on manual processes, post hoc explanations, or internal assurances.

Each record is intentionally finalized and sealed using cryptographic hashing at the time of completion. Any subsequent modification invalidates the seal and is immediately detectable during review.

Supporting evidence, including photos and documents, is incorporated directly into the sealed record structure. System-generated timestamps and verified operator identification establish a defensible chain of custody from creation through retention.

All actions related to a record are logged and preserved, creating a complete audit trail that remains verifiable over time without reconstruction.

Integrity Mechanisms

Cryptographic Record Sealing SHA-256 hashing applied at record finalization
System-Controlled Timestamps Tamper-resistant timing preserved within each record
Operator Identification Verified user association for accountability and traceability
Integrated Evidence Photos and documents sealed as part of the record
Comprehensive Audit Trail All record actions logged and retained for inspection

TestLedger supports these requirements through platform design, not post-hoc compliance retrofits.

TestLedger™ Compliance Platform does not replace quality systems or guarantee regulatory compliance. It reinforces existing systems by ensuring the records those systems depend on are complete, verifiable, and inspection ready at all times. Automation within TestLedger is intended to reduce manual error and improve consistency, not to remove accountability.

Regulatory frameworks are not optional. Infrastructure that supports them should not be either.

Market Context

Why This Matters Now

The compliance documentation landscape is shifting rapidly. Organizations that invest in audit-ready infrastructure now will be better positioned as regulatory scrutiny intensifies.

Increasing FDA Scrutiny

Warning letters citing documentation deficiencies have increased significantly since 2020

Decentralized Testing Growth

Point-of-care and decentralized diagnostics require documentation that travels with the test

Rising Audit Frequency

Annual inspection cycles leave less time for reactive compliance preparation

Tool Inadequacy

Generic document tools lack immutability, traceability, and audit-specific workflows

Compliance Infrastructure, Not Compliance Theater

TestLedger creates defensible documentation that survives regulatory scrutiny, not just documentation that looks compliant until an auditor asks questions. When inspectors request evidence of record integrity, chain of custody, and tamper-proof timestamps, the answer should be the record itself.

Economic Reality

The Cost of Documentation Failure

Audit deficiencies and failed FDA submissions don't just delay timelines. They can devastate companies. The question isn't whether audit-ready documentation is worth the investment. It's whether your organization can afford to be caught without it.

Failed FDA Submission

$2-10M+

Repeated studies, regulatory delays, and market access postponement. Documentation deficiencies are among the most common, and preventable, causes.

Form 483 / Warning Letter

6-18 mo

Remediation timelines, corrective action plans, and follow-up inspections. Record integrity issues trigger disproportionate scrutiny.

Valuation Impact

20-40%

Stock price decline or valuation haircut following regulatory setbacks. Investor confidence erodes faster than it builds.

Prevention Costs a Fraction of Remediation

TestLedger doesn't guarantee regulatory approval. No system can. But audit-ready documentation infrastructure eliminates one of the most common, most preventable failure modes. The cost of continuous compliance readiness is measured in hundreds per month. The cost of rebuilding documentation after a deficiency is measured in months of lost time and millions in delayed revenue.

System Integration

Complements Your Existing Systems

TestLedger is documentation infrastructure, not a replacement for EDC, LIMS, or your Quality Management System. It makes those investments more successful by ensuring the records they depend on are audit-ready from the start.

EDC Systems

Electronic Data Capture

EDC captures clinical trial data. TestLedger provides the tamper-evident documentation layer for point-of-care testing records that feed into or complement EDC workflows.

Enhances EDC data quality with audit-ready source documentation

LIMS

Laboratory Information Systems

LIMS manages lab operations and sample workflows. TestLedger extends documentation integrity to decentralized and point-of-care testing where LIMS coverage doesn't reach.

Extends compliance coverage beyond centralized lab environments

QMS

Quality Management Systems

QMS defines procedures and controls. TestLedger provides the immutable record layer that demonstrates those procedures were followed: the evidence QMS audits require.

Provides the documentation evidence your QMS depends on

Why Not SharePoint, Google Drive, or Paper Logs?

📁

Generic file storage has no cryptographic sealing, no tamper evidence, no chain of custody

📋

Paper logs can be lost, altered, backdated, or reconstructed. Auditors know this

⚙️

Spreadsheets lack audit trails, can be edited invisibly, and fail inspection scrutiny

Pricing and Packaging

Choose the compliance level your organization needs. Advanced regulatory documentation fields available in Professional and above.

All plans are self-activated. No sales calls, approvals, or onboarding gates. Records are enforceable from first use.

Pricing reflects documentation risk exposure and regulatory scrutiny level, not test volume alone.
