BayesPeaQ™PHARMACEUTICAL QMS · USER GUIDE
START HEREROLE-GOVERNEDEVIDENCE-FIRST

Start using BayesPeaQ in one controlled workflow.

Begin with My Quality Work, open the task assigned to your role, complete only the work you own, attach the supporting evidence, and route the record to the next accountable reviewer. BayesPeaQ keeps the record, revision, evidence and audit history connected from intake through closure.

YOUR FIRST SESSION

The shortest correct path through BayesPeaQ.

Use this sequence before exploring every QMS module.

0110 MINUTES
FIRST SESSION

Do these ten things first.

You do not need to learn the whole QMS before completing useful controlled work.

  1. Sign in with your BayesPharma account.

    Your organization, Quality role and permissions determine what you can view, change, review and sign.

  2. Open Quality Command Center.

    Start from My Quality Work rather than opening random modules.

  3. Review your assigned queue.

    Prioritize overdue, high-risk and review-required work that belongs to your role.

  4. Open one controlled record.

    Confirm record ID, record type, current revision, status, owner, due date, risk and linked evidence before acting.

  5. Read the audit/history context.

    Understand what changed, who changed it and what prior evidence or decisions already exist.

  6. Complete only your assigned step.

    For example: triage an event, investigate a deviation, implement CAPA, review evidence or perform an effectiveness check.

  7. Add the evidence that supports your work.

    Use traceable files, source references, observations, measurements and rationale. Do not convert assumptions into facts.

  8. Use the available governed action.

    BayesPeaQ shows the next server-permitted workflow states. Do not treat a missing action as permission to bypass the workflow.

  9. Route to the accountable next role.

    Investigator, QA Reviewer, CAPA Owner, Approver or another configured role receives the next controlled task.

  10. Return to My Quality Work.

    Confirm the action left your queue or changed state as expected, then move to the next assigned item.

BEST FIRST HABITAlways ask: “What is the current controlled state, what evidence supports it, and who owns the next decision?”
02ACCESS
SIGN IN & ROLE

Your role controls the actions you are allowed to perform.

BayesPeaQ is not a shared unrestricted spreadsheet. Access is organization- and role-scoped.

Identity

Use your own authenticated account. Do not share credentials or sign on behalf of another user.

Role

Your configured role determines whether you can create/update records, investigate, review or electronically sign.

Organization

Only records within your authorized tenant and scope should be available to you.

IF AN ACTION IS MISSINGDo not work around the role control.

Confirm the record is assigned correctly or ask your QMS administrator/Quality administrator to review the role assignment.

03QUEUE
MY QUALITY WORK

Use the command center as your daily starting point.

The command center is designed to show assigned work, risk, overdue actions and independent review needs.

1
Look for work assigned to you

Open items where your role is responsible for the next action.

2
Prioritize risk and due date

Critical/high-risk, overdue and review-blocked records deserve early attention.

3
Open the record before acting

Do not make a decision from a queue label alone.

4
Return after each handoff

Make sure ownership and state changed as intended.

04RECORD
CONTROLLED RECORD

Read the record before you change the record.

A record is more than its title. The revision, workflow state, evidence and history determine what the current record actually means.

CheckWhat it tells youWhat you should do
Record IDThe durable identity of the quality object.Reference it in evidence, comments and related records.
RevisionThe exact version you are reviewing.Re-open/review if the revision changes before approval or signing.
StatusThe current governed workflow state.Use only the permitted next action.
Owner / Responsible roleWho is accountable for the current work.Do not perform another role’s approval step.
RiskThe current risk classification or not-assessed state.Confirm the classification is supported; escalate when necessary.
EvidenceWhat supports the current conclusion.Check source, relevance, completeness and version.
Audit trailWho did what and when.Use history to understand changes and prior decisions.
05INTAKE
REPORT AN INCIDENT / NEW RECORD

Create the minimum accurate controlled record first.

Use New record or the Report an incident shortcut when it is available for your role and workspace.

Record type

Select the correct quality workflow: deviation, OOS/OOT, lab incident, complaint, CAPA, change control, document, training or another configured type.

Title

Use a factual description of what happened. Avoid assigning root cause before investigation.

Product / batch / site

Add the affected context only when known and applicable.

Owner

Assign the accountable person or role according to your organization’s procedure.

Due date

Set a realistic controlled due date where required.

Risk

Use Not assessed until an authorized risk assessment supports a classification.

Controlled details

Record observable facts: what happened, when, where, who/what was affected and immediate containment. Keep hypotheses and conclusions clearly separate.

GOOD INTAKE EXAMPLE“Dissolution result for Batch B24017 exceeded the registered Stage 1 limit at the 30-minute time point during routine QC testing.”

Avoid premature wording such as “operator error caused the failure” unless the investigation has established that conclusion.

06EVIDENCE
EVIDENCE & AUDIT HISTORY

Attach what supports the conclusion—not just what fills the form.

Evidence readiness is a signal for review. It is not automatic proof that the record is compliant or correct.

01
Source

Where did the information come from? File, instrument, SOP, investigation note, external report or controlled reference.

02
Identity

Keep the evidence linked to the correct record, product, batch, site and revision.

03
Meaning

State what the evidence supports and what it does not establish.

04
Review

A qualified person assesses relevance, sufficiency, contradictions and limitations.

Good evidence practice

  • Use traceable source files and references.
  • Preserve exact versions and dates.
  • Link evidence to the relevant record and revision.
  • Explain contradictions or missing evidence.
  • Keep reviewer rationale attributable.

Avoid

  • Untraceable copied text.
  • Replacing measured evidence with an AI summary.
  • Calling a hypothesis a confirmed root cause.
  • Approving based only on a completeness percentage.
  • Deleting inconvenient contradictory evidence.
07WORKFLOW
INVESTIGATION & ROUTING

Follow the next governed action returned by the workflow.

BayesPeaQ uses workflow states rather than free-form “done” labels.

Open→Triage→Investigation→Impact assessment→QA review→Closed

During an investigation

  1. Define the problem clearly.

    Separate observed event, scope and impact from suspected causes.

  2. Collect relevant evidence.

    Records, logs, analytical data, training, equipment, procedures, batch history and linked events as applicable.

  3. Generate and test hypotheses.

    Use structured RCA methods where appropriate; Quality Copilot may assist with hypotheses but cannot establish root cause by itself.

  4. Assess product/process impact.

    Document the basis for impact conclusions and any uncertainty.

  5. Route for independent review.

    The reviewer should be able to see the evidence, reasoning and record history without reconstructing the story offline.

REVISION SAFETYIf the record changes before you approve or sign, review the current revision again.

BayesPeaQ is designed to prevent an approval from silently applying to a different revision than the one reviewed.

08CAPA
CAPA & EFFECTIVENESS

Closure should depend on evidence that the action worked.

Completing an action item is different from demonstrating effectiveness.

Open→Action→Implementation→Effectiveness→QA review→Closed
Correct the problem

Define the action, accountable owner, due date and implementation evidence.

Verify effectiveness

Define what evidence and observation period will show that the action reduced the intended risk.

Independent QA closure

QA reviews implementation and effectiveness evidence before governed closure where required.

09APPROVAL
QA REVIEW & ELECTRONIC SIGNATURE

Review the exact decision and exact revision before signing.

Approval, release, rejection, effectiveness and closure may require electronic-signature authority depending on the configured workflow.

E-SIGNATUREYour signature is attributable to your authenticated identity.

Do not share credentials, sign for another user or use the signature step merely to move a workflow forward.

10READINESS
SCHEDULE M READINESS

Use the readiness view to find evidence gaps—not to self-certify compliance.

BayesPeaQ maps configured quality-system domains to controlled evidence and highlights verified domains and gaps.

Verified domain

Controlled evidence is linked for the configured requirement. Human review remains authoritative.

Gap

Expected evidence is missing or not yet verified. Assign corrective work instead of hiding the gap.

Inspection pack readiness

Shows whether the controlled evidence manifest is sufficiently assembled for review.

11INSPECTION
INSPECTION ROOM

Reconstruct the evidence trail without changing operational records.

The Inspection Room is designed as a read-only evidence-oriented view for controlled records, critical/high risks, approval metadata and evidence-pack preparation.

  1. Review readiness and open high-risk items.

    Understand what remains unresolved before assembling an inspection narrative.

  2. Open supporting controlled records.

    Use record IDs, revisions, signatures and linked evidence as the primary source.

  3. Trace the history.

    Show how the event, investigation, CAPA, review and closure connect.

  4. Do not fill missing evidence with generated text.

    If evidence is absent, the gap should remain visible and be handled through the controlled process.

12COPILOT
QUALITY COPILOT

Use AI to investigate faster, not to transfer authority.

BayesPeaQ Copilot is most useful when the question is bounded to a record, evidence set or quality problem.

Good“Summarize the evidence linked to this deviation and identify contradictions.”
Good“Generate RCA hypotheses that should be tested against the current evidence.”
Good“Show CAPAs with missing effectiveness evidence.”
Good“Which Schedule M domains currently have evidence gaps?”
Avoid“Approve this deviation for me.”
Avoid“Invent the missing evidence so we can close the record.”
RULECopilot may retrieve, compare, summarize, challenge and recommend. Authorized humans determine, approve, sign, release and close.
13ROLES
WHO DOES WHAT?

Keep task execution and independent approval visibly separate.

Exact role names can vary by organization; the separation principle should remain clear.

Reporter / Operator

Creates factual intake, records immediate containment and provides source evidence.

Does not establish final root cause or final QA disposition.

Investigator

Investigates scope, evidence, hypotheses, root cause and impact.

Routes findings for independent review.

QA Reviewer

Challenges evidence, reasoning, completeness and effectiveness.

Should remain independent from the work being reviewed where policy requires.

CAPA Owner

Implements assigned corrective/preventive actions and supplies implementation evidence.

Implementation completion is not automatic effectiveness approval.

Approver / QA Manager

Applies configured approval or closure authority and attributable e-signature.

Reviews the exact current revision and evidence before signing.

QMS Administrator

Manages users, roles, workflow configuration and system administration.

Administrative access does not itself confer QA decision authority.
14ROUTINE
DAILY WORKING ROUTINE

A simple routine keeps BayesPeaQ useful.

The QMS becomes reliable when work is captured and handed off inside the governed record rather than reconstructed later.

MORNINGOpen My Quality Work

Review overdue, high-risk, pending-review and assigned items.

DURING WORKUpdate evidence as work happens

Do not wait until closure to reconstruct the record.

BEFORE HANDOFFCheck record + evidence + rationale

Make the next reviewer’s task reconstructable.

END OF DAYConfirm ownership and blockers

Make sure incomplete work remains visible and correctly assigned.

15HELP
TROUBLESHOOTING

Common situations and the correct response.

I cannot see the action I expected.

Confirm your role, the record’s current state and assignment. BayesPeaQ exposes only server-permitted governed actions. Ask the QMS administrator to correct role/assignment issues rather than bypassing the workflow.

The record changed while I was reviewing it.

Re-open the current revision and review the changed content/evidence before approving or signing. Do not rely on an earlier revision.

The readiness score is high. Can I close the record?

No. Readiness/completeness metrics help identify evidence posture; the configured workflow, human review and required approvals remain authoritative.

Quality Copilot produced a confident answer.

Open the cited controlled records and verify the evidence, revision, limitations and applicability. Do not treat confidence of wording as proof.

The API or page cannot load.

Preserve your source work outside an unsubmitted form if necessary, refresh the current record state and retry. Do not create duplicate controlled records merely because a response was slow.

I need to find a module quickly.

Use the left navigation search or Ctrl/Cmd + K command palette in the Quality Command Center.
