The Problem
What Needed Solving
Before an Advisory Committee meeting, a sponsor's team has to be ready for whatever the panel asks, and answer with the right supporting slide in seconds.
The people preparing are spread across companies and time zones: internal experts, outside consultants, medical writers and presentation specialists. They need one shared, secure view of every question, every draft answer and every slide.
What I Did
Key Decisions
One Flat View of the Q&A
Each question sits with its response, its responder and its slides in a single view, so nobody has to dig through folders or email threads to see where an answer stands.
Slide-First Cards
Clinical slides are dense. Cards show each slide as a preview with its status beside it, so a team can scan a large bank of answers quickly.
Organised by How Teams Prepare
Navigation follows the preparation workflow (presentations, Q&A slides, slide requests, messages, issues and questions) rather than how the data is stored.
Find Any Slide in Seconds
A search and filter panel narrows the slide bank by keyword, category, responder, slide number and tier, so the right answer is never more than a few clicks away.
