Batch release in days instead of weeks
PITCHED AT THE SAN FRANCISCO NIGHT ON 5 AUGUST 2026
Every drug batch waits on a quality review of batch records and logbooks, much of it still handwritten, and the wait ties up capital in inventory nobody can sell. Quail reads and reviews those controlled documents so people spend their time on the real exceptions.
Pharmaceutical manufacturing ends with a person reading paperwork. Batch records, logbooks and controlled documents have to be reviewed before a batch can be released, and a great deal of it is still handwritten on the factory floor. The review takes days to weeks and it is almost entirely routine.
Quail automates the routine majority and surfaces the genuine exceptions for a human, which is the only version of this that a regulator will accept. The prize is capital: inventory that currently sits unreleased while somebody works through a binder.
These founders pitched at the same startup events. The room is usually the reason people find each other.
