Comparison · incumbent feasibility & intelligence vendor

A cited, auditable Citeline alternative.

Citeline (Norstella) is a deep, well-established intelligence suite. If what you need from feasibility is a fast, fully-cited, re-runnable verdict you can white-label into a bid and defend line by line, here is how we compare.

Where Citeline is strong

Citeline brings a large proprietary intelligence dataset, investigator and site databases, and a long track record across the industry. For broad market intelligence beyond a single feasibility verdict, that breadth is real.

Where we differ

  • Every figure in the verdict links to its public-source record (ClinicalTrials.gov, AACT, PubMed, FDA, EMA, Open Targets, ChEMBL) with a snapshot date — not a proprietary black box.
  • Deterministic scorers: the same inputs and snapshot reproduce the same verdict months later, which is what makes it defensible in a sponsor review.
  • A 21 CFR Part 11 hash-chained audit bundle on every run, exportable for your QA team.
  • White-label and dedicated-cluster mode so a CRO can resell the output under its own brand.
