ChatGPT gets protocol questions wrong, and a confident wrong answer is worse than no answer. Cora is built for this: cited answers in under 30 seconds, grounded only in your documents, with the exact page every time.
Sponsor IP doesn't disappear when your coordinator closes the browser tab
Your coordinators are resourceful. When they need a protocol answer at 6pm, they'll find one. The question isn't whether they'll use AI; it's whether the AI they use was built for regulated environments. Cora was.
When your coordinator pastes a protocol into ChatGPT, she doesn't get a warning. The sponsor doesn't get notified. And if the sponsor's legal team ever asks whether the full protocol text was shared with an unauthorized third party, the honest answer is yes. Cora was built so the honest answer is always no.
Zero Data Retention on AI
AI inference runs through AWS Bedrock with zero data retention. Your prompts and answers are not persisted by the model layer.
No AI Training on Your Data
Your documents are never used to train any AI model. Every query runs through a clinical-research pipeline, not a public chatbot.
Complete Audit Trail + Signed DPA
Every query, answer, and timestamp is logged and exportable. And we sign a confidentiality agreement and DPA with your site, so you can name us as an authorized vendor under your sponsor agreement. ChatGPT can't be that.
Why not just use ChatGPT?
Your coordinators know ChatGPT exists. Some of them are already pasting protocol text into it. Here's why that's a problem, and why Cora is built for this.
Unlimited everything. One predictable price per study.
Every coordinator, every question, every amendment. No base fee. No per-seat fees. No query limits. No surprise charges. Ever.
5 organizations lock in current pricing for 12 months.
We are in a price-discovery phase. The rate steps up as the product matures and the evidence base grows. Your locked rate does not.
Every bundle your organization adds during the lock window stays at the founding rate. At renewal, you transition to then-current pricing.
- ✓ 1 study bundle (protocol + supporting docs + ICFs)
- ✓ Up to 50 SOPs included free
- ✓ Unlimited users, queries, and amendment re-ingestion
- ✓ A founder personally onboards your team in 7 days
- ✓ 90 days of direct Slack/email access
- ✓ 30-day unconditional money-back guarantee
1 bundle × $300 = $300/year
Your annual exposure without Cora
$300/year per bundle, locked for 12 months. 5 founder slots remain at this rate.
Running 5 studies? That's $1,500/year ($125/month). Less than the cost of a single protocol deviation, and it protects you from every one after that.
Two guarantees. One simple promise: if Cora doesn't work for your site, you don't pay.
Hate it for any reason in the first 30 days? Every dollar back. No questions, no process.
Upload at least one protocol and run 10+ queries. If Cora has not saved your coordinators meaningful time within 90 days, we refund your entire first year.
Every query your team runs is logged to Cora's dashboard. You see questions asked and answer quality in real time, not as a billing surprise.
If your team can use ChatGPT, they can use Cora.
No IT department. No training sessions. No 6-week implementation. Setup takes less time than a coffee break, and once you're live, finding an answer takes about 10 seconds instead of 20 minutes.
Upload Your Study (2 minutes)
Drag and drop your protocol, lab manual, ICFs, pharmacy manual, and any supporting documents. Cora processes each one in 2-4 minutes. No reformatting. No tagging. Just drop the PDFs.
Ask Any Question (plain English)
Type like you’d text a colleague. “What are the exclusion criteria for renal function?” “When is the Day 15 visit window?” Cora searches every document in your study bundle at once.
Get a Verified Answer (with the page number)
Every answer comes with confidence scores, page-number citations, and clickable links to the source. Low-confidence answers are flagged automatically. Verify it yourself in one click.
Your coordinator gave the wrong answer, and she can't prove where she got it.
Protocols aren't documents you skim. They're 300-page decision trees: stacked amendments that override each other, dosing matrices with footnotes, visit schedules that cross-reference six other sections. A general LLM reads the words; it doesn't parse the structure. So when your coordinator asks ChatGPT about the exclusion criteria and gets an answer that Amendment 3 already superseded, she doesn't know it's wrong. She answers the PI confidently. She replies to the sponsor query. She trains the new hire on it. Cora's pipeline is built for that structure: tables, amendments, cross-references. Every answer is grounded in an exact page from your documents, so when it's right you know why, and when the protocol changes, Cora changes with it.
Purpose-built for protocols, not prose.
Built for Protocol Structure
Tables, dosing matrices, stacked amendments, cross-referenced visit schedules. Cora parses the structure a general LLM flattens, so retrieval is right before the answer is written.
Checked Twice. Page-Cited.
Every answer is verified against the source text before your team sees it. Low-confidence answers are flagged, and every claim links to the exact page.
Every Document. One Search.
Up to 30 documents per study bundle plus 50 site SOPs. One question searches all of it at once.
We built the tool we wished we had
Cora started because our co-founder was a research coordinator who got tired of putting screening calls on hold to spend 20 minutes hunting for one answer in a 300-page protocol PDF.
We didn't build a generic AI chatbot and slap “clinical” on it. We built the tool that would have saved us from amendment chaos, from juggling five protocols across different tabs, and from being too embarrassed to message our study manager the same question twice.
Every feature in Cora exists because we lived the specific pain it solves. That's why it works.
