How it works
We calculate an operational-readiness score
Unassigned tasks, protocol complexity, and staff training gaps all reduce readiness, with an extra penalty when task volume is high and ownership gaps are large.
Get a setup action plan
The result tells your study team what to fix before activation, from finalizing schedules to closing training gaps.

Frequently asked questions
Who is Protocol Task for?
Study coordinators and research operations staff who need to convert a written protocol into an operational task list and visit schedule before or during study startup.
Does this generate an actual visit schedule?
It gives you a readiness score and task-volume estimate, not a full auto-generated schedule. Use it to see where operational gaps exist before building the detailed schedule.
Why does staff training affect the score so much?
Untrained staff running a complex protocol is one of the most common sources of protocol deviations, so training gaps are weighted heavily.
Is this a substitute for a CTMS or study startup checklist?
No. It's a quick estimate from the numbers you provide. Formal study startup should still follow your organization's full checklist and any CTMS in use.
