Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to write a validation protocol?

The time and cost to write a protocol depends on your labor rate and the complexity of the equipment or process. Enter your own numbers in the calculator above to estimate it based on your team's experience and fully loaded rate.

How do you calculate validation software ROI?

ROI compares the gross savings (hours freed multiplied by your loaded rate) against the software cost. Payback period is the time in days until annual savings equal the annual license fee. ROI multiple is the ratio of gross savings to software cost.

How long does it take to write an IQ/OQ/PQ protocol?

Manual authoring time varies by equipment complexity, regulatory standard, and your team's experience. With Valiqa, you skip the blank-page problem and iteration cycles. A qualified reviewer reviews, tailors, and approves the AI-generated first draft. Enter your own numbers in the calculator above to estimate how much time your team might save.

Does Valiqa replace the reviewer?

No. Valiqa generates a first-draft protocol that a qualified reviewer (engineer or QA) must review, tailor, and approve. The reviewer owns the final document and remains accountable to your regulatory framework.
