Three teams, three versions of the same SOP, each believing theirs was current.
A contract research unit came to Praveg after a difficult inspection. The regulatory finding was about data integrity; the diagnostic found something more basic: no governance mechanism for SOP version control across sites, in an organisation that had grown from twelve people to ninety in four years. The gap was visible inside a week. A process governance board, a single SOP repository and a quarterly compliance review took eight weeks to implement. The next inspection outcome was materially different.
