A master file built for you (11 zones, 48 sections, 268 artifacts), AI-suggested filing that a person confirms, and approvals signed against the exact version.
About this episode
Your file
- Every trial keeps a master file. And every document in it has to be findable, current and approved.
- Create the master file for a trial, and MAESTRO builds its structure: 11 zones, 48 sections, and 268 artifacts.
- Choose the study type, and the structure adapts: seventy-seven artifacts change their requirement.
Filing
- File one document at a time, or drop a whole batch into Bulk Upload.
- For each file, AI suggests where it belongs, with a confidence score. Below eighty percent, it is tagged Needs Review.
- Nothing is filed until a person confirms.
Approval
- Then the document moves: request review, request approval, and the approver signs with their password.
- The signature is bound to that exact version and its checksum, so a swapped file is detectable.
- Upload a new version, and it returns to draft. The approved version stays on record.
Oversight
- Document Trackers show the file as a grid: sites across, artifacts down, and a click opens the documents.
- Completeness counts the artifacts that hold an approved or final document. Not-applicable ones are left out.
- Before a document expires, whoever filed it gets a single digest, starting ninety days out.
- And if you allow filing without a second person, a sample of those documents is drawn for a human check.
Site file
- Sites file into their own investigator site file, and see only their own site.
- It is the same document, not a copy. The sponsor sees it as soon as the site files.
The trial master file in MAESTRO: filed once, approved under signature, and tracked until it expires.
