Operator categories

Laboratory

Methods, accreditation, sample custody, results and certificates.

A category describes what you do, not what you hold. Selecting it asserts nothing about any licence, registration or accreditation.

Specific to this category

What differs for a laboratory.

Evidence this category ownsAccreditation scope, method suitability and validation, sample chain of custody, released result versions, certificates, out-of-specification investigations.
Where it hands offServes every other category. Outsourcing testing does not transfer the client's responsibility for method suitability or specifications.
State-overlay sensitivityHigh. Required panels, action limits and approved-laboratory status are state-defined.
Applicable document familiesThe shared core plus the analytical set: accreditation scope and maintenance, method suitability, validation and transfer, sample receipt and chain of custody, instrument qualification and calibration, result review and certificate issuance, and out-of-specification and out-of-trend investigation.
Typical counterparty grantsAlmost entirely a grantor of results and a recipient of sample context. Clients receive VIEW and DOWNLOAD on released result versions and certificates for their own samples only. Cross-client visibility is not a configuration option.

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.

Laboratory

Start with the federal baseline. Activate the state you operate in.

No state rule is treated as configured until its primary sources, effective dates and reviewer approval are recorded.
