Producer
Producer / cultivator / tissue source
Plant tissue, genetics, cultivation, harvest and raw-material evidence.
Origin. Everything downstream inherits what is or is not recorded here.
Open the producer page →United States | operator categories
Ten categories.
One shared record.
Different obligations.
An organization can be several of these at once. Select every function you actually perform — the workspace adapts to the combination rather than forcing you into one box.
A category describes what you do, not what you hold. It asserts nothing about any licence, registration, accreditation or quality status.
Pick your function
Where you sit in the material chain.
Roles are not exclusive. A producer that also extracts is a producer and a processor, and the evidence obligations of both apply.
Processor
Processor / manufacturer
Extraction, manufacturing, packaging, batch and cGMP evidence.
Transformation. Where botanical material becomes a defined product, and where most quality obligation concentrates.
Open the processor page →Laboratory
Analytical laboratory
Methods, accreditation, sample custody, results and certificates.
Assertion. Produces the results other parties rely on to release material.
Open the laboratory page →Dispensary
Medical dispensary
Receiving, inventory, dispensing, security and patient-facing operations.
Terminal. The last controlled custody before a patient.
Open the dispensary page →Distributor
Distributor / transporter
Qualified transfers, manifests, custody and downstream trace.
Movement. Adds no transformation and must subtract no provenance.
Open the distributor page →GMP supplier
GMP input / packaging supplier
Ingredients, excipients, contact materials, packaging and component evidence.
Upstream input. Usually holds no cannabis authorization at all, and is still inside the quality boundary.
Open the gmp supplier page →Research
Research organization
Protocol-controlled receipt, use, return, storage and destruction.
Consumption under protocol. Material is accounted for rather than sold.
Open the research page →Drug sponsor
Drug sponsor / pharmaceutical organization
IND, NDA, CMC and pharmaceutical quality evidence streams.
Accountability holder. Answers for the product even where every activity is contracted out.
Open the drug sponsor page →Buyer
Buyer / sourcing organization
Counterparty qualification, specifications and controlled purchase decisions.
Demand side. Sets the specification that upstream evidence has to satisfy.
Open the buyer page →Waste service
Waste / destruction service
Controlled residue custody, witnessing, destruction and disposition evidence.
Exit. The only category whose output is an absence, which is exactly why it needs the strongest record.
Open the waste service page →Same for every category
What the platform does, for every category
No authority transmission. FederalCompliance does not file, submit or transmit anything to FDA, DEA, a state authority or any other body.
01
Capture
Records enter under controlled custody with their origin, version and hash intact.
02
Screen
Deterministic checks run against the configured rule pack. Model output is candidate wording only.
03
Tidy
Gaps, conflicts and missing evidence are surfaced rather than filled in.
04
Review
An accountable person decides. The platform never decides.
05
Approve
A frozen, source-linked package is created with an exact manifest.
06
Download
The customer downloads and submits through their own authorized channel.
Order of precedence
The applicability stack, in this order
Every rule version records authority, citation, source version and hash, effective date, applicability condition, reviewer, confidence and supersession. A state overlay stays NOT_CONFIGURED until its primary-source pack passes qualified review.
01
Federal statute and current regulations
02
DEA registration and activity rules
03
FDA product, development and quality rules, when applicable
04
State statute, regulation, licence conditions and official guidance
05
Local fire, building, security and business requirements
06
Customer quality agreements, specifications and SOPs
07
System-integrity rules
The shared rail
The record every category writes into
Events
Inventory, custody, transformation and disposition, each attributable and timestamped.
Claims
Falsifiable statements with provenance, confidence and supersession.
Signatures
Who decided what, when, against which exact bytes.
Evidence objects
Versioned source material under one of four custody modes.
Export packages
Frozen manifests, reviewed and approved before download.
Access
Getting in
Not a trial and not a demo. The open house creates no evidence, so nothing has to be honoured or unwound later.
01
Open houseSign up, confirm your email, and read. Your workspace and the regulatory catalog are open immediately. Nothing is recorded, because nothing is writable yet.
02
ApprovedOrganization review completes. You may now activate a subscription.
03
ActiveEvidence entry, counterparty sharing, review packages and downloads switch on.
Boundaries
What is never claimed, for any category
—
FDA approval, DEA registration and state licensure are three separate status objects. No interface combines them into a generic "federally compliant" badge.
—
Selecting a category asserts nothing about whether an organization holds, or is eligible for, any licence, registration, accreditation or quality status.
—
Adult-use operating records may be preserved as starting evidence for a transition assessment. They are never silently relabelled as medical, federal or GMP records.
—
Model output is candidate extraction or suggested wording. It is never authority, and it is never described as verification.
Every category
Look before you commit.
Sign up, confirm your email, and read the workspace and the regulatory catalog. Nothing is recorded until your organization is reviewed and a subscription is active — so nothing has to be unwound if you walk away.
