LivePrioritisation PanelWhich of these 13 proposed post-marketing studies should we fund first?
Post-Marketing Study Triage is a ready-made use case for Medical Affairs. It ships under the Prioritisation Panel template.
For medical affairs leads. You get each seat's ranking, the aggregated list with a cut line, where the seats disagree and how stable the line is. Claims are cited or marked as gaps.

The decision
Which of these 13 proposed post-marketing studies should we fund first?
Who ranks
Some post-marketing studies are required by regulators, and others are chosen by the company. The panel ranks both against their value and the effort needed.
| Seat | What it ranks from | Why it is at the table |
|---|---|---|
| Global Real-World Evidence Lead | Which studies the available data can answer reliably.2 | The EMA reflection paper on real-world data. |
| Global Medical Affairs Director | Which studies answer questions that clinicians and guidelines are waiting on. | Guidelines. |
| Head of Pharmacovigilance | Which studies address open safety questions or regulatory commitments.1 | FDA postmarketing requirements. |
| Clinical Operations Director | Which studies are feasible and how long they take. | Operational feasibility. |
What the run does
Required studies come first. A required study with a due date is not ranked against optional ones on value alone. The report separates commitments from choices.1
Value versus effort. Optional studies are placed by the value of the answer and the effort and time to get it.2
Sensitivity. The report shows how the order changes if the weight on safety questions rises.
Recommended length
Standard
Four angles weigh the list differently. Standard depth gives each a seat, with disagreement, value versus effort and sensitivity, in about four pages.
You can pick another length on the form. The other two stay available.
Assumptions the run makes
The run states the assumptions behind its criteria and its cut line, and says what each gap limits. Examples for this list:
- The studies are independent and can be funded in any order.
- The effort estimates are comparable across studies.
- Required studies are identified correctly.
Standards, guidance and sources
Frame
The decision practice behind the memo itself is on the template page.
What gets flagged
Any study with a regulatory due date ranked as optional, any effort estimate not supplied by operations, and any study on which seats split widely.
What arrives
- The question, criteria and items
- The cut line and the top group
- How each seat ranked
- The aggregated ranking
- Where the seats disagree
- Value versus effort
- Sensitivity of the cut line
- Limits and what would change the ranking
What it will not do
The agreement is a simulation by AI specialists and not a panel of real experts. The criteria are fixed before ranking, and the cut line is a recommendation that the decider can move.
It does not decide which studies are required.
It is a simulation by AI specialists and not a panel of real experts. Seats that share a base model are not independent confirmations of each other.
It does not compute a value-of-information analysis. That needs a decision model. It ranks by proxies and says so.
It does not set the weights for you. If none are supplied, the criteria are weighted equally and the report says so.

About the Panel service
Each panelist answers in their own voice, then the discussion is drawn together. You get the question and who was in the room, every position in full, what they agreed on, where they split, and what follows. Disagreements are written down rather than smoothed into a consensus nobody actually holds, because the split is usually the part you needed.
