How it works

In 14 days, our platform reviews your labels, claims, and specs — against your SOPs and the CFR.

No procurement. No six-month implementation. One scoping call, a one-page agreement, three sample documents — and every finding lands cited, signed, and ready for your auditor.

Day 0 – 3

Step 1. The scoping call.

One 30-minute call. We decide which workflow goes first — label review, supplier docs, claim substantiation — and you send three sample documents: a label, a spec, a claim sheet, whatever that workflow runs on. You leave with a fixed scope, a fixed price, and a draft pilot agreement landing by end of next business day.

Day 3 – 7

Step 2. The one-page agreement.

90 days. Mutual NDA. Per-tenant data isolation. Liability cap. Exit clause. Six promises in plain English. Outside counsel can review it in twenty minutes.

Day 7 – 10 · The part that matters

Step 3. Grounded on your SOPs, your specs, your formulas.

Every food company runs differently. Your allergen program, your finished-product specs, your approved-claims list, your artwork checklist, your release criteria — plus a hundred conventions that live in your QA team's heads. Generic AI tools know none of it. That's why they fail the second look.

Your F&B Codex agent reads these documents before it sees its first real task. Your allergen SOP becomes what it verifies changeovers against. Your spec template becomes the format every review ships in. Your approved-claims list becomes the line it won't cross. Your document-control SOP becomes its filing rules.

Your documents live in your own workspace, alone. Another customer's SOPs never appear in your work, and yours never appear in theirs — even when you share a supplier. After 30 days, the agent sounds like a member of your team, because it works from your team's documents.

Day 10 – 14 · and every week after

Step 4. Reviews land.

You submit a task — a label PDF, a proposed claim, a supplier spec — through email or a shared folder, the way you already work. Within one business day, three things arrive:

  1. The review itself — findings ranked PASS / WARN / BLOCKER, each cited to the regulation and to your own SOP.
  2. A punch list your team can work through, item by item.
  3. The audit footer — the receipt your SQF or BRCGS auditor accepts as evidence of the review.

Every BLOCKER and every claim rewrite waits for a named person on your team to sign off — usually your VP Quality or RA lead. The agent records the signature in the audit log. Nothing closes without it.

That's the whole engagement model. No procurement. No six-month implementation. The first review can be in your inbox before the second month's invoice arrives.
The two knowledge bases

It knows the law. Then it learns your company.

Every Codex agent works from two libraries at once. The first is the law itself — 21 CFR Part 101 in full, Part 111 supplement CGMP, Part 117 FSMA preventive controls, FSMA 204 traceability, FSVP, DSHEA, FALCPA + FASTER allergens, food additives (Parts 170–189), GRAS, color additives, California Prop 65, California AB 418, FTC Act §5, FTC Green Guides, FTC Endorsement Guides, plus the state additive bills we monitor as they move. That library is the same for every customer, because the law is.

The second library is yours alone: your SOPs, your spec templates, your formulas at the right revisions, your release criteria, your brand voice, your retailer requirements, your supplier history. Every "this passes" and every BLOCKER is grounded in both — the regulation from the first library, your own document from the second — and both citations land in the audit footer.

Knowing the law is table stakes. Knowing your allergen program, your specs, and your release rules is what makes the work usable the day it arrives — and why after thirty days it reads like a member of your team wrote it.
The discipline behind the speed

Four rules we don't break.

Speed comes from constraints, not corners. These four rules are how a regulatory deliverable survives a warning letter, an outside-counsel review, or a SQF auditor's challenge.

Rule 01

Cite or strike

Every regulatory claim ships with a primary-source citation — a CFR section, an FDA guidance, an OEHHA listing, a state statute — and an access date. No claim, no ship.

Rule 02

Human checkpoint on every regulated output

BLOCKER findings and claim rewrites do not close without a named human signing the audit log. The agent never marks complete; you do.

Rule 03

Your documents stay yours

Your SOPs and specs live in your own workspace. They are never used to train a shared model and never appear in another company's work — even a competitor's who shares your co-packer.

Rule 04

Drug-claim escalation always

Any input that drifts into disease treatment or prevention claims triggers an automatic escalation. We stop, flag, and recommend you engage outside counsel.

What every audit footer contains

Every answer comes with a receipt.

Under every deliverable sits the audit footer — the record your auditor, outside counsel, or VP Quality reads on the second look. Here's what it shows, in plain terms:

Audit footer · Codex Reg · label claim review

Sources cited — 21 CFR §101.14 (accessed Jun 1, 2026) · 21 CFR §101.93 · your Label Approval SOP, §4.2

What it checked — the label file you attached, the CFR database, your allergen matrix

Waiting on a human — VP Quality signoff required before print. The agent never marks this complete; a named person does.

Confidence — high · Run completed — Jun 1, 2026, 2:14 PM

Behind the display, every run is a structured record — every input fingerprinted, every tool call logged, every citation dated — stored in your tenant's audit log and exportable any time. Your SQF auditor gets a paper trail. Your IT team gets the raw record. You never have to reconstruct what the AI did, because it wrote it down as it worked.

The first scoping call is 30 minutes. We'll know within 10 if we're a fit.
