Side-by-side matrix of up to 4 real contract research organizations — the seven deterministic scoring engines, clinical scale and safety metrics, and therapeutic-area, modality, service, phase and regulatory-region matrices, with the best value in each numeric row highlighted.
Sterile trial focusiHow far the CRO's declared trial work sits toward sterile, biologic and advanced-therapy products — scored from its sterile-pharma focus flag, how many of its modalities are advanced, and its therapeutic-area count.

Clinical scaleiHow large the CRO's clinical operation is — scored from countries covered, investigator sites in network, active trials, and the breadth of services and phases it runs.

CTMS healthiHow the CRO's own studies are tracking — scored across its study records from enrollment against target, site activation against planned sites, and each study's risk level. This reads real study rows; a CRO with none recorded shows ‘no records on file’ rather than a zero it did not earn.

Site oversightiHow well the CRO's investigator sites are being managed — scored across its site records from source-data-verification rate, query resolution, major deviations, audit readiness and risk level.

PV readinessiHow ready the CRO is to run safety — scored from its safety database, MedDRA coding, literature surveillance, E2B(R3) capability, PV regions covered and annual case volume.

Capability scores are a directional starting point, not a verdict. A lower score does not disqualify a company or consultant, and no decision should rest on the score alone — always contact the company directly to confirm the specifics for your project.
Synthetic and historically-framed capability flags · not a vendor-qualification determination — verify directly with the CRO before any sourcing decision. All scoring is deterministic and rules-based; no AI/ML inference is involved.
