Scope of Work Digital Worker
An agentic contract & delivery controller that turns every SOW into predictable revenue and lower risk for clinical programs.
CROs and pharma teams don’t lose money in the model, they lose it in execution. Ambiguous clauses, verbal approvals, unsynced tools, and “we’ll true-up later” habits create scope creep, late billing, and audit headaches. This Digital Worker flips the script. It drafts clear, consistent SOWs, monitors live work against contract terms, and triggers fast, documented change control. Finance and Delivery stay aligned, milestones convert to cash on time, and executive visibility moves from anecdote to evidence.
Make Contracts Operational, Not Aspirational
This Digital Worker translates your SOWs and MSAs into living guardrails. As work progresses, it compares tasks, time, and expenses to the contracted scope and budget, escalating variances with ready-to-send change orders. When a deliverable is accepted, it assembles the invoice packet and routes it for approval. The result is fewer disputes, faster cycles, and cleaner audits, without adding headcount or more spreadsheets.
Protect Project Margin
Catch scope creep at the source. The agent compares activity to the contracted scope and budget, proposes changes when thresholds are hit, and routes approvals so you’re paid for the work you do.
Shorten Milestone-to-Cash
No more waiting for status meetings. As soon as acceptance criteria are met, the agent drafts the milestone certificate, compiles evidence, and prepares an accurate invoice in your ERP.
Lower Compliance and Audit Risk
Every action is traceable back to contract clauses, approvals, and artifacts. Executives and auditors see a single source of truth for scope, spend, and deliverables.
How This Digital Worker Works
What the Digital Worker does:
This Digital Worker ingests your SOWs, MSAs, and amendments from CLM and shared drives, then constructs a structured, machine-understandable model of scope, deliverables, billing terms, and acceptance criteria. It connects to the systems your teams already use, CTMS and project tools like Veeva Vault or Medidata, collaboration in Teams or Slack, and finance platforms such as SAP S/4HANA, Oracle, or NetSuite, so it can watch real work unfold in real time.
As updates flow in, the agent reasons over them using a blend of rules anchored in your contract language and LLM/causal techniques for nuance. A new task or expense is matched to a scoped line item; if it doesn’t fit or breaches thresholds, SOW Sentinel flags it, drafts a clear change order with scope, timing, and commercial impact, and routes it to the sponsor. When a milestone meets its acceptance criteria, it assembles the certificate and invoice packet, POs, tax, and backup documents, then submits them to Finance for human sign-off.
Governance is built in. Least-privilege access ensures sensitive commercial details stay need-to-know. Decisions are explainable with citations back to contract text and source systems. Leaders get portfolio-level forecasts, contracted vs. recognized revenue, burn vs. budget, exposure from pending changes, without chasing spreadsheets.
Contracts Become Controls
causaLens turns static PDFs into active guardrails that prevent leakage by default, clear SOWs at the start, disciplined change control in the middle, and evidence-backed billing at the end.
Finance and Delivery, Finally in Sync
By integrating CTMS/PM, collaboration, and ERP, the agent keeps work, scope, and cash aligned. Your teams act faster, argue less, and forecast with confidence.
Built for Regulated Clinical Work
Causal + LLM reasoning delivers precise matches and human-readable explanations. With auditable decision trails and human-in-the-loop approvals, you meet sponsor and regulatory expectations without slowing down.
