CDISC Validation Agent

H1ST-AI-STAT-004 · Task 3.1

Hundreds of findings shouldn't be yours to decode

Before every data cut and submission, the validate-interpret-fix loop is the part you dread, and the part that eats your evenings. This agent runs conformance validation against CDISC and FDA rules, then triages the findings, separating true defects from expected explainable conditions and telling you exactly what to fix and where. The slow, iterative loop compresses into a report you can act on.

The grind you know

Hundreds of findings shouldn't be yours to decode

A Pinnacle 21 report drops hundreds of findings in your lap, and the real work isn't running it, it's deciding which are true errors, which are expected, and how to fix each one. Get that triage wrong and you either burn hours over-correcting benign findings or let a genuine conformance defect slip through to become an agency question with your name on it.

How it works

  1. 1

    Submit the datasets

    Provide the SDTM or ADaM datasets and the define metadata to validate against the current rule set.

  2. 2

    Validate and triage

    The agent runs conformance checks, then classifies each finding as a defect, an explainable condition, or noise.

  3. 3

    Explain and recommend

    It returns a report that explains every finding in context and recommends the specific remediation for each actionable item.

Capabilities

What it takes off your plate

Conformance validation

Runs the full CDISC and FDA rule set against SDTM and ADaM datasets and consolidates results into a single report.

Finding explanation

Translates each rule ID into a plain-language description of the cause and the specific records affected.

Error triage

Separates true defects from expected, explainable conditions and proposes documented justifications for the latter.

Remediation guidance

Recommends the concrete dataset or mapping change needed to clear each actionable finding.

What you get

  • Pinnacle 21 conformance validation report
  • Categorized findings list with severity and record references
  • Plain-language explanation of each rule triggered
  • Draft explanations for expected, justified findings

In practice

What this looks like on a real study

Where the agent shows up in the day-to-day of a live trial — the moments the grind usually lives in.

Hundreds of findings, one data cut

A Pinnacle 21 run returns 400 findings the night before a deliverable. The agent triages them into true defects, expected-explainable conditions, and noise, so you fix what matters instead of manually decoding every rule ID.

Justifying an expected finding

A rule fires because your study design legitimately produces that pattern. The agent drafts a documented justification you can drop into the Reviewer's Guide, rather than over-correcting a benign finding to make the report clean.

Catching the one real defect

Buried among expected warnings is a genuine SDTM conformance error. The triage layer surfaces it with the specific records affected and a targeted remediation, so it doesn't slip through to become an agency question.
