The problem we solve: In Life Sciences, marketing materials face slow, error-prone compliance reviews that can drag on for weeks or months. Drug and medical device companies hire communications agencies to prepare product materials to educate and promote their products. These agencies manually evaluate these materials prior to review by the Medical, Legal and Regulatory (MLR) team to ensure they are ready for approval. However, manual processes introduce mistakes that must be fixed by expensive MLR subject matter experts —wasting time, driving up costs, and delaying critical information about prescription products from reaching HCPs, patients and payers. These delays hurt launch velocity, sales, and patient outcomes. The current system isn’t just inefficient—it’s broken. The need for automation is urgent.
About our solution: SecureCHEK AI solves a costly, time-critical problem in Life Sciences: the slow, manual review of regulated marketing content. Our proven SaaS platform uses a powerful combination of Analytical and Generative AI to flag compliance risks—so medical, legal, and regulatory teams spend less time reviewing and more time approving. By verifying scientific accuracy and medical integrity, SecureCHEK AI helps ensure that HCPs, patients and payers make informed decisions, which is central to every government agency’s public health mandate. The software prevents risky communication by identifying omissions of risk information, overstatements of efficacy, and unsubstantiated comparisons. The result: materials get to market faster, unlocking commercial impact with launch velocity and helping patients and providers access critical drug information sooner.
Progress to date:
SecureCHEK AI is in market and scaling. We are the first AI-powered prechecking tool for Life Sciences that combines Analytical and Generative AI to accelerate compliance reviews. We’re integrated with Veeva and Aprimo—the two leading compliance workflow platforms—enabling faster adoption through trusted channels. Aprimo alone drove $1M in licensing revenue. Current clients include a top 5 pharma company, a top 5 medical device company, and four onboarding biotech firms. Our solution is live, delivering measurable ROI, and earning strong validation across the industry .

Thank You
Join us in transforming how critical information about prescription products reaches HCPs, patients and payers quickly, accurately and truthfully. SecureCHEK AI accelerates Medical, Legal and Regulatory (MLR) compliance reviews, eliminating costly bottlenecks that prevent fairly balanced content from reaching providers, patients and payers. Life Sciences is an innovation-driven sector facing rising content volume, regulatory complexity, and pressure to cut costs. The need for automation is urgent. Our AI platform meets this moment—and the market is ready. Let’s lead this disruption together.
Market Size
SecureCHEK AI is targeting the global life sciences industry, which allocates over $100 billion annually to marketing and promotional activities. Approximately 9% of this spend—roughly $9 billion—is directed toward categories directly aligned with SecureCHEK AI’s capabilities, such as promotional review, regulatory compliance, and medical content validation. Our estimated Total Addressable Market (TAM) is $2.5 billion, based on our target segments and serviceable functions.
There are over 11,000 marketed prescription products globally across pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and veterinary medicine. Each product typically requires support across multiple functions, including commercial promotion, medical affairs, and investigational use in clinical research. Based on licensing fees for core platform functionality, value-added services, and premium capabilities, our projected annual spend per client is approximately $230,000 per product. This pricing reflects the high regulatory stakes, the complexity of the review process, and the cost savings clients can realize by reducing risk, cycle times, and manual effort.
Projected 3 Year Growth
SecureCHEK AI is projecting steady and strategic revenue growth over the next three years, with a strong emphasis on building long-term enterprise value. In 2025, the company expects to generate $0.9 million in revenue, reflecting a focus on customer onboarding, pilot testing, and initial market penetration at introductory pricing levels. Revenue is anticipated to grow to $2.5 million in 2026 as early adopters convert to paying customers and additional pilots are brought online. During these early years, gross margins are expected to be approximately 65%, accounting for higher support and implementation costs typical of early-stage SaaS deployments in regulated industries.
By 2027, SecureCHEK AI anticipates a significant inflection point, with revenue reaching $12.5 million. This growth is driven by the transition to full-scale commercialization and expansion across pharmaceutical, medical device, and veterinary markets. Gross margins are projected to improve to 75% as the company benefits from increased automation, standardized onboarding,, operational efficiencies and a strong customer referral pipeline.. This margin improvement signals a scalable model with strong unit economics, laying the foundation for long-term profitability and enterprise value.
Revenue Model
SecureCHEK AI is a subscription-based SaaS platform with annual licensing fees tied to the number of brands supported. This scalable, modular pricing model creates highly predictable recurring revenue and positions us for significant expansion within each client organization. Most life sciences companies manage dozens of commercial and pipeline brands, providing ample opportunity for conversion over time. Adding additional products to an existing client account is virtually costless from an infrastructure standpoint, allowing gross margins to scale to 90–95% per license.
Our land-and-expand strategy begins with a focus on high-priority, promoted products, then extends into pre-commercial and investigational brands. The platform’s high stickiness comes from its deep integration into clients’ medical, legal, and regulatory (MLR) review workflows, content approval systems, and compliance protocols. Once embedded, SecureCHEK AI becomes central to daily operations—making replacement both technically disruptive and operationally risky.
Clients are often reluctant to consider alternative solutions after implementation due to the high switching costs, the need for cross-functional retraining, and the complexity of integrating a new system into established review and compliance processes. This entrenched position not only enhances long-term retention but also drives sustained account growth and maximizes customer lifetime value.
Competitors
SecureCHEK AI is redefining how life sciences companies manage compliance and accuracy in their promotional and scientific content. Our platform uniquely combines the power of Analytical AI and Machine Learning with the creative flexibility of Generative AI to deliver a next-generation prechecking solution that is not only fast and efficient, but also verifiable, audit-ready, and deeply reliable.
While most competitors rely solely on GenAI—which excels at tasks like summarization, drafting, and Q&A—it also comes with a critical flaw: the tendency to produce factually incorrect yet convincing content, known as hallucinations. In regulated industries like life sciences, where misinformation can lead to serious regulatory, legal, and reputational consequences, this is simply unacceptable.
SecureCHEK AI eliminates that risk. Our hybrid architecture ensures that every insight is grounded in structured, validated data while still offering the usability benefits of GenAI. The result: higher accuracy, greater transparency, and significantly reduced compliance risk.
By addressing the industry’s top concerns—data security, regulatory confidence, and factual integrity—we give our clients a clear advantage: a trusted, scalable solution they can confidently integrate across their product portfolios.Please tell us about your current interest and sales (traction) with customers and partners or potential customers if you have not finished your product yet.
