A Trial Master File that stays inspection-ready while the trial runs.
The VP Clinical Operations carries personal accountability for TMF (Trial Master File) inspection-readiness. ICH E6(R3) GCP requires the TMF to be complete, current, and producible to the inspector. Most clinical operators run quarterly inspection-readiness reviews and find gaps every time. The fix is the same each cycle; the gap recurs.

"My TMF is constantly out of date. We pay for an inspection-readiness review every quarter and find gaps every time."

What TeamSync gives the VP Clinical Operations.
1. The TMF as a TeamSync structured document type.
ICH E6(R3) DIA-Reference-Model TMF zones, sections, and required artefacts modelled as TeamSync document types with completeness rules. Each artefact's expected metadata (study ID, site ID, version, date) typed; missing artefacts visible in real time.
2. Real-time completeness monitoring.
The Business Process Automation workflow runs continuous completeness checks against the trial protocol's expected artefact list. Gaps surface as the trial runs; site coordinators are alerted; gaps closed before the quarterly review.
3. Document Templates for repeatable TMF artefacts.
Site-initiation packets, monitoring visit reports, deviation reports, IRB submission packages — generated from templates with site + study metadata pre-populated.
4. DocuTalk grounds the TMF audit conversation.
"Show me every monitoring visit report for site 042 in 2024 and every deviation that resulted" — DocuTalk returns the answer with citations.
5. Audit-ledger anchors every TMF artefact event.
ICH E6(R3) section 4.9.4 audit-trail requirement satisfied by Merkle-anchored ledger. FDA / EMA / MHRA / PMDA inspection cooperation pre-formatted.
