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

  1. 01

    Take the piece as submitted — its claims, its citations, its layout and the audience, market and indication it names.

  2. 02

    Read the approved label in force, the reference pack and the piece's own history of versions and comments.

Reason

  1. 03

    Match each claim to the reference cited for it, and read whether that reference says what the claim says.

  2. 04

    Check the annotation — each citation tied to a page, table or figure a reviewer can open, not to a document alone.

  3. 05

    Read the piece against the approved indication, the safety information it carries and the audience it is built for.

Decide

  1. 06

    Surface where fair balance, prominence or the impression a reader is left with looks thin, and leave the call to a person.

  2. 07

    Hold a claim whose source does not carry it, and name the line, the citation and the page it was checked against.

Out

  1. 08

    Assemble the review package — the annotated piece, the sources opened, the open comments and the state of each.

  2. 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

  1. 1Piece submittedA new piece, a revision, a market adaptation or a re-certification falling due
  2. 2Label and sources loadedThe approved label in force, the reference pack, prior versions of this piece and the comments left on them
  3. 3Claims read against sourcesEach claim matched to the reference cited for it, and to the label statement it is said to rest on
  4. 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.

5DecisionSplits on whether the cited source carries the claim
Claims reach their sources

Reaches the reviewers as an assembled package.

Source will not carry the claim

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

  1. 6Review record written backThe state each reviewer left, the date the piece now carries and when it falls due again, where policy allows
  2. 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.

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.

Value

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

03Label & references

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.

01Approved path

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.

02Human review

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.

04

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

Integration availability depends on the client's existing systems and API access.

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.

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

  1. E1Claim-to-source evaluationDoes the cited reference say what the claim on the piece says?
  2. E2Label-consistency evaluationDoes the piece stay inside the indication and the approved label?
  3. E3Annotation evaluationIs each citation tied to a page a reviewer can actually open?
  4. E4Presentation recallWere missing safety information and thin balance raised for a person?
  5. E5Slice evaluationHow does check quality change across specific material cohorts?
  6. E6Business outcomeWhat did reviewers add that the checks missed, and what came back?

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 →

  1. 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

  2. 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

  3. 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

  4. 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

  5. 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.

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

  1. 01

    Detect

    One material cohort starts collecting comments the checks never raised.

  2. 02

    Diagnose

    The comment is set beside the claim it was written on, and the source both read.

  3. 03

    Improve

    Nothing enters the check until the person who owns that rule has signed it.

  4. 04

    Verify

    The corrected pieces go through again, to see whether the check raises them now.

  5. 05

    Learn

    A claim that had to be re-sourced is not checked from the old source again.

  6. 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.

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.

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.
