Clinical Research
For the teams that run trials, and the systems the trials run on.
BC Consulting works with sponsors and the service providers that support them in two ways. We train clinical teams to build with AI and develop the applications they cannot buy off a shelf. And we consult on the eClinical systems underneath the work: IRT, RTSM, and the clinical supply chain systems around them, from vendor selection through go-live and optimization.
Who this is for
Sponsors, and the CROs, IRT and RTSM vendors, clinical supply companies, and eClinical providers that serve them. On the AI side, the people who get the most out of our work are closest to the repeated tasks: the clinical operations lead writing the same visit summary forty times a year, the supply planner rebuilding a resupply scenario by hand, the data manager reading listings for the same discrepancies. On the systems side, it is the clinical supply and operations leaders choosing an IRT vendor, building a study, or trying to get more out of the system they already have.
Two services, one standard
The AI work sits on top of the systems work. The founder leads both, scopes each to a defined deliverable, and has done the job himself.
Service one
AI Training and Development
Hands-on AI training that ends with working tools, custom agents and applications built for a GxP posture, and the governance that turns scattered experiments into an operating model.
90% less effort per RFI response; 75 clinical supply professionals trained in one program at a global top-5 pharma; ten working agents built in a day.

eClinical Systems Consulting
Vendor selection, implementation oversight, UAT, and optimization for IRT, RTSM, and the clinical supply chain systems around them, from twelve years on the vendor side of those systems.
IRT/RTSM and packaging category search for a top-3 pharma; IRT vendor implementation oversight for a biotech; clinical supply chain reorganization support at a top-10 pharma.

Twelve years inside the systems
I am Bryan Clayton, and I run BC Consulting. I spent twelve years on the vendor side of IRT and RTSM systems and the wider eClinical stack: running the project teams that delivered studies for major pharma at Cenduit, growing YPrime from Series A through private equity as Senior Vice President of Strategic Solutions, and serving as Chief Commercial Officer at Endpoint Clinical. I chaired the Informa IRT conference for four years and have presented there nine times.
Before that I taught high school music for nine years. The two services on this page are the two halves of that career: the systems knowledge from the vendor years, and the training that ends with every person holding a working tool from the classroom years.

Thirty minutes to find out which service fits the problem, and whether you need us at all. If the honest answer is that you do not need us yet, we will say so.
Writing for clinical teams
Where the Safety Limit Lives When an AI Agent Runs Lab Hardware
Anthropic's Model Hardware Standard puts an AI agent's safety limits in the device driver, the layer closest to the equipment. Layered software design, GxP, and CSV have kept limits there for years, and that experience tells you exactly what to check before an agent reaches your instruments.

Loops, Graphs, and Verification in Regulated GxP Workflows
Loops and graphs are the same idea at two sizes. What decides whether either one works under GxP is the verifier: something that cannot argue back, checking the output before anyone acts on it.
