Beyond the numbers

  • Higher first-time approval rates — fix issues before they reach review.
  • Increased content reuse — approved elements, used again and again.
  • Reduced cost per asset — less rework, less external spend.
  • Systemic issues identified — see root causes across content, not one-offs.
  • Lighter reviewer workload — reviewers focus on judgement, not error-chasing.

1 Pre-authoring

Start compliant.

Approved templates, a governed brand design system and locked components mean content is on-brand and review-ready before a word is written.

  • Approved, locked templates
  • Brand design system
  • Reusable content cards and components

2 During authoring

Stay compliant as you build.

Author with approved elements and modular content, while Shaman manages references, annotations and versioning in sync with Veeva — so nothing falls out of compliance as you work.

  • Add approved Legal & Regulatory elements and modular content
  • See Veeva reviewer comments at resubmission
  • Versioning fully in sync with the Veeva lifecycle
  • Approval numbers added automatically

3 References

References that manage themselves.

The Reference Manager keeps each document’s reference block accurate and audit-ready — every citation sourced from Veeva and PubMed, never hand-typed.

  • Manage the reference block in place — add and organise references as you author, right inside the document.
  • Link to Veeva, verify with PubMed — select the reference document in Veeva, and the official cite text is retrieved from PubMed automatically.
  • No manual cite text — cite text comes from the validated source and can’t be edited by hand, so reviewers can trust every citation.
  • Auto-renumber — add or remove a reference and every citation updates and renumbers itself.
  • Nothing missed — unused or missing references are detected automatically.
  • Veeva annotations, built for you — link-document annotations are created on the MLR document in Veeva automatically, ready for review.

4 Pre MLR checks

Get it right before review.

Shaman compliance assistants help content creators optimise for first-time approval, before content goes into MLR review.

  • Quality check — replaces manual QC: checks your email against your checklist — mandatory items, links, correct tokens, layout elements, brand consistency and more.
  • Proofread — catches spelling, grammar and punctuation, checks brand inverse triangle and copyright, and ensures text consistency and clarity.
  • MLR Compare — checks content against everything already approved in the market or brand, surfacing partial matches such as wording differences and changed or approved references used.
