Promotional-Content Review (MLR) AI Agent
Prepare material for medical, legal and regulatory review — claims read against the approved label, references checked against what they are cited for, expiry tracked — the reviewers who sign still decide.

What this agent does
Checks the piece before the reviewers do
In
- 01
Take the piece as submitted — its claims, its citations, its layout and the audience, market and indication it names.
- 02
Read the approved label in force, the reference pack and the piece's own history of versions and comments.
Reason
- 03
Match each claim to the reference cited for it, and read whether that reference says what the claim says.
- 04
Check the annotation — each citation tied to a page, table or figure a reviewer can open, not to a document alone.
- 05
Read the piece against the approved indication, the safety information it carries and the audience it is built for.
Decide
- 06
Surface where fair balance, prominence or the impression a reader is left with looks thin, and leave the call to a person.
- 07
Hold a claim whose source does not carry it, and name the line, the citation and the page it was checked against.
Out
- 08
Assemble the review package — the annotated piece, the sources opened, the open comments and the state of each.
- 09
Retain the label version read, the references opened, the reviewer comments and who closed each.
Product statement
The agent reads, checks, annotates and assembles. Approval, certification, clearing a claim and closing a reviewer's comment stay with the medical, legal and regulatory reviewers who sign.
Example workflow
One piece, end to end
- 1Piece submittedA new piece, a revision, a market adaptation or a re-certification falling due
- 2Label and sources loadedThe approved label in force, the reference pack, prior versions of this piece and the comments left on them
- 3Claims read against sourcesEach claim matched to the reference cited for it, and to the label statement it is said to rest on
- 4Presentation checkedAnnotation to the page, indication statement, the safety information the piece carries, audience, market and expiry
No human action required
Stages 1 to 4 run without a person in the loop — the source reading, the annotation check and the expiry check are finished before a reviewer opens the package.
Reaches the reviewers as an assembled package.
Held with the line and the page named.
Medical, legal and regulatory reviewers
Medical weighs the science and the balance, legal the risk, regulatory the fit to the label — each signs their own part, and the approval is theirs to give or refuse.
Open the pack · Comment · Send back
Signed off — handed back
- 6Review record written backThe state each reviewer left, the date the piece now carries and when it falls due again, where policy allows
- 7Outcome evaluatedClaim-to-source agreement, annotation misses, what reviewers added that the checks had not raised, by cohort
Reviewer comments
Every comment a reviewer writes that the checks had not raised is counted.
What should not run autonomously
Human approval stays in control
Outside the boundary — human approval required
8 items
- Approving a piece, or any part of it.
- Signing a review or certifying material for use.
- Clearing a claim as substantiated.
- Deciding a piece is compliant or fairly balanced.
Automation boundary
Agent acts unaided
- ✓Read each claim against the label and its cited source.
- ✓Check each citation resolves to a page a reviewer can open.
- ✓Flag thin fair balance, missing safety information, wrong audience and expiry.
- ✓Assemble the review package with the open comments and their state.
Write actions run only inside the approval boundaries agreed during implementation. Approving a piece is not one of them.
- Closing or resolving a reviewer's comment.
- Re-certifying material after a label change.
- Releasing a piece to another audience or market.
- Changing the reference pack or the check rules.
Example output
One claim on one piece, annotated
Everything the agent raises is attached to the line it was raised on and the source it was read against.
Review output · one piece, one claim
Illustrative example- Piece
- HCP detail aid, revision
- Claim under check
- Onset earlier than comparator
- Label read
- Version in force
- Claim status
- Held for medical
- Confidence

As received
The piece as submitted, the claim as written on it, and the label version the check was run against.
Evidence used
- Approved label, dated
- Cited reference, page
- Prior version comments
Why it is held
A different endpoint in a different population, so the source does not carry this line.
What the score decides
It decides how closely a reviewer reads this claim, not whether the claim is substantiated.
Action
Open the packCommentSend backValue
Where AI adds value
The same four claims, placed at the point in the workflow where each one applies.
Where the value lands
Value 01 – 04
Every piece in the queue
New, revised, adapted or falling due
Trace each claim to its source
Use the approved label in force, the reference pack behind each claim and the comments left on earlier versions of the piece.
Spend the meeting on judgement
The source reading, the annotation check and the version history are done before the meeting opens, so the hour goes on the arguable lines rather than on page numbers.
Name the line and the page behind it
A claim whose source does not carry it is raised with the citation and the page it was read at, rather than argued from memory in the third review round.
Build an evidence trail
Retain the label version read, the sources opened, the flags raised, every reviewer comment and who closed it — on both paths.
Integrations
Typical integrations
Five system groups connect to the same agent. Which of them are in scope is decided in discovery.

Agent controls
Six layers between the model and the signature
Each control wraps the one inside it. A piece clears every layer before the package is assembled, and the signature sits outside all six.
L6 · Outermost — last line of defence
Inward → L1 · closest to the model
- L1 – L2
- Test whether a claim's source carries it
- L3
- Marks what no one can open at the line
- L4 – L5
- Keep the signature with the reviewers
- L6
- Pulls automation back when signals degrade
How Nestack evaluates it
Evaluate the checking, not only the package that comes out.
Coverage runs the whole depth of the workflow, and every layer is cut by slice.
Surface — the review package a reviewer opens
- E1Claim-to-source evaluationDoes the cited reference say what the claim on the piece says?
- E2Label-consistency evaluationDoes the piece stay inside the indication and the approved label?
- E3Annotation evaluationIs each citation tied to a page a reviewer can actually open?
- E4Presentation recallWere missing safety information and thin balance raised for a person?
- E5Slice evaluationHow does check quality change across specific material cohorts?
- E6Business outcomeWhat did reviewers add that the checks missed, and what came back?
Floor — the material that is in the field afterwards
Failure modes
Where each failure originates in the agent
Seven failure modes plotted against the five stages of the agent lifecycle.
Agent lifecycle
Direction of processing →
01 · Label & references
1 mode
- ML-01
Superseded label version read
A safety change landed after the pack was built.
Stage gathers
The label in force, the reference pack and prior versions
02 · Claim checking
1 mode
- ML-02
Reference does not say it
Different endpoint, different population, same citation.
Stage reads
Each claim against the source cited for it
03 · Presentation
2 modes
- ML-03
Annotated to the file, not the page
A reviewer cannot get from the claim to the line.
- ML-04
Thin fair balance read as adequate
Risk text is present, and nowhere near the benefit.
Stage checks
Annotation, indication, safety information and audience
04 · Package / release
2 modes
- ML-05
Approved elsewhere, packaged here
Another market's audience and indication, reused.
- ML-06
Expiry passed while it waited
Certification lapsed between submission and use.
Stage returns
The package the reviewers open and its open comments
05 · Change / Version
1 mode
- ML-07
Silent check-rule regression
A rule change stops a class of claim being read.
Stage tracks
Model, prompt, rule and reference-pack changes
- Sev-1 · material may go out as it should not
- Sev-2 · the claim cannot be checked as written
- Sev-3 · the check degrades, reviewers carry it
Affected slices
The checking breaks on comparative and adapted pieces
A claim lands in this number when a reviewer re-sources, rewrites or strikes it after the checks passed it. Comparative lines are weighed against evidence rather than matched to it, and adaptations carry claims approved elsewhere.
Slice performance — reported separately, not only in aggregate
Illustrative example| Slice | Failure rate | Lift | Lift vs. threshold | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Comparative and superlative claims | 5.6% | 3.6× | Review | |
| Market adaptations of approved pieces | 3.9% | 2.5× | Review | |
| Data-on-file and unpublished sources | 2.8% | 1.8× | Watch | |
| Routine reprints, claims unchanged | 1.1% | 0.7× | Normal |
Bar: re-sourced-claim lift vs. routine-reprint baseline · scale 0–4.0× · tick at the 2.0× threshold
2 of 4 slices over threshold
Evidence-linked improvement
Reviewer comments are the measurement, not the noise
The comments worth counting are the quiet ones — a citation swapped without a word, a page number typed in by hand, a line struck with no reason given.
Improvement cycle · five stages
Switchback — the path turns at Improve and returns at Learn
- 01
Detect
One material cohort starts collecting comments the checks never raised.
- 02
Diagnose
The comment is set beside the claim it was written on, and the source both read.
- 03
Improve
Nothing enters the check until the person who owns that rule has signed it.
- 04
Verify
The corrected pieces go through again, to see whether the check raises them now.
- 05
Learn
A claim that had to be re-sourced is not checked from the old source again.
Learn → Detect
The return edge. A reviewer reads no less because of it — what changes is how much of the piece has already been traced by the time they start.
Typical build scope
Twelve workstreams across six weeks
The build scope read against the delivery timeline. Week structure follows the six-week plan — discovery, label and references, claim and presentation checks, evaluation, integration, then production validation and handover.

W6Reviewers work from the agent's packages, then Agent Care
- Reading the band
- Where a bar stops, the work it names stops with it. Week 2 rebuilds a baseline from pieces your reviewers already commented on, so the later checks are scored against people rather than against a rulebook.
- At the end of W6
- What your reviewers added that the checks never raised is counted and written down. That number is what Agent Care is held to afterwards.
- Duration
- Six-week plan shown · typical delivery 4–6 weeks depending on scope confirmed in discovery.
Next step · Biotechnology AI agent
Build an MLR agent around the review your signatories already run.
Show us one product, a piece as it really reaches review, and the reference pack its claims are meant to rest on. Two kinds of comment come out of an MLR meeting: the ones a source could have settled before anyone sat down, and the ones that need a signatory's judgement. We build for the first kind only, and the second is where your reviewers should still be spending the hour.
