FOR REGULATORY REVIEWERS

AI Analysis You Can Verify

For regulatory bodies reviewing AI-assisted submissions, and quality teams evaluating AI tools: we provide the documentation, lineage tracking, and audit trails needed to assess AI-powered analysis with confidence.

WHY IT MATTERS

A regulator-defensible framework for AI-derived behavioral data

EMA/CVMP has indicated that AI-based pruritic behavior scoring may be appropriate in preclinical efficacy studies when used within a defined context of use and supported by a regulator-defensible validation approach.

OneKind’s validation architecture is designed around that standard, including component-level validation, temporal concordance analysis, and explicit treatment of uncertain outputs to support auditable, reproducible measurement.

This creates a framework for AI-derived behavioral data that is structured for regulatory review in controlled preclinical settings.

OUR SOLUTION

Documentation for Defensible AI

Built on the ORIGIN platform, our AI systems come with comprehensive documentation designed for regulatory scrutiny.[1] Every analysis includes these core components, with automated behavioral detection validated against published methodology.[2]

Model Documentation & Ground Truth

Complete documentation of model architecture, training methodology, and ground truth data. Training datasets are annotated by expert veterinary behaviorists under documented guidelines with measured inter-annotator agreement.

Version Control — Models & Datasets

Full versioning for models, configurations, training datasets, and inference datasets. Every model traces to the exact data it was trained on. Every analysis traces to the exact input it processed.

Lineage Tracking

Automated data-to-decision lineage. Every transformation, preprocessing step, and model inference is linked — from raw input to final endpoint output.

Reproducibility Evidence

Deterministic inference ensures identical inputs produce identical outputs. Any historical analysis can be replayed against its exact model state with bit-identical results.

Audit Trail & Change Control

Every action is logged with full attribution. Model updates follow formal change control with documented impact assessment and approval workflows.

Human Oversight & Review

Human review is integrated at defined stages. Reviewers can override AI outputs — all override decisions are recorded in the audit trail with full attribution and rationale.

Uncertainty Handling & Performance Monitoring

Low-confidence predictions and out-of-distribution inputs are flagged for human review. Deployed models are continuously monitored for performance degradation and data drift. Substandard video quality is detected automatically.

Transparency & Limitations

Published documentation of model scope, known limitations, supported species, and validated behavioral classes. No black-box claims — every capability boundary is stated.

We have participated in multiple rounds of regulatory feedback with the European Medicines Agency through a pharmaceutical sponsor, and our platform is built to meet both EMA and FDA-CVM standards.

Report outputs are structured to align with standard clinical study report formats, with additional evidence layers for model provenance, reproducibility, and audit documentation.

IN PRACTICE

Auditability & Explainability in Practice

Concrete scenarios showing how the ORIGIN platform responds to the questions regulators ask most.

Auditability in Practice

Scenario: An FDA auditor asks, “How was this model’s output on Subject 47 calculated?”

1

Retrieve the exact input: The ORIGIN platform provides the raw video file, preprocessing parameters, and metadata from the original trial.

2

Trace the model version: See exactly which model weights, hyperparameters, and dependencies were used at that point in time.

3

Reconstruct the decision: Replay the exact computation path, showing transformations, confidence scores, and intermediate outputs.

4

Export the proof: Generate a cryptographically-signed audit report showing the complete lineage — ready for submission.

Explainability in Practice

Scenario: A CVMP reviewer asks, “What model version was active during the pruritus scoring window, and has it changed since?”

1

Identify the model state: The ORIGIN platform returns the exact model version, threshold configuration, and runtime environment active at study lock.

2

Confirm no changes occurred: The model registry shows no releases between study start and lock date — cryptographically verified.

3

Demonstrate reproducibility: Re-run a sample of inferences against the locked model state — output is bit-identical to the original.

4

Export the evidence package: Generate a signed report showing model lineage, change history, and reproduction results — ready for submission.
