Before we talk about what’s next, I want to start with what matters most:
Thank You. 📣🎉🍾
Thank you to the customers, partners, collaborators, colleagues, and friends who made time this year, to show up, to engage in real conversations, to share what’s working and what’s hard. Thank you for the trust you place in me and the ProcellaRX team, for the honesty you bring into the work, and for caring deeply about doing things well, even when the path isn’t straightforward.
I’m especially grateful for the communities and spaces that welcomed these conversations whether through workshops like #ReinventionLab2025, ISPE or KENX webinars, industry events #OpenTextWorld, #ISPEAnnual2025, #Pharm4.0, #Europe2025 working sessions, and the many rooms and calls in between. If we crossed paths this year, please know it mattered. This work only exists because of the people behind it.
The industry calls it trust. We call it a decision.
For decades, regulated industries have optimized for the wrong outcome. We, the royal 'we', say we measure data integrity, process compliance, and artifact completeness but what I've found is that we rarely measure the quality of the decisions those artifacts represent.
Decision Quality changes the question from:
“Did we follow the process?” to:
“Did we make a defensible decision with appropriate evidence and clear accountability?”That shift isn’t semantics. It’s the difference between compliance as performance and compliance as proof.
Trust is a decision not a deliverable.
You don’t document your way to trust. You demonstrate your way there.
The storm that clears what’s weak
ProcellaRX wasn’t built to fit in. It was built to disrupt organizations addicted to compliance theater and challenge them to do better.
The storm isn’t destruction for its own sake. It’s the force that clears away what’s weak, exposes what’s hidden, and makes space for what needs to be built.
That’s the spirit behind everything we do now: build systems and cultures that reduce harm, strengthen accountability, and make evidence understandable, traceable, and decision focused.
What we strengthened in 2025
This year was a build year.
Thanks to our strategic partnerships with OpenText, Melillo Consulting, and Foulk Consulting, ComplianceFlowTM and ArchiveFlowTM help unburden regulated organizations from technical debt that no longer serves them, creating a practical path toward data cleansing and readiness that supports responsible AI adoption.
Why this matters: AI doesn’t fail first because of models. It fails first because of foundations—taxonomy chaos, unknown provenance, broken traceability, and legacy repositories that preserve everything but clarify nothing.
ComplianceFlowTM and ArchiveFlowTM exist to help teams modernize without losing rigor—so the work becomes more scalable, the evidence more defensible, and the foundation usable again instead of just archived. In 2025 alone, these solutions helped organizations avoid more than $2M in migration costs—real, measurable value.
A reflection of the journey: our new website (early 2026)
Our new website, launching in early 2026 is a reflection of this journey. It’s designed to hold the thinking, values, and community that have grown alongside this work. Less about listing services. More about creating space for clarity, conversation, and action.
What comes next in 2026
New Reinvention Lab locations
The Reinvention Lab is an exclusive, invitation-only gathering where the industry’s boldest leaders shape the future of digital validation. No product pitches. No passive audiences. Just focused dialogue and active transformation.
In 2026, we’re expanding to new locations (stay tuned, subscribe to our newsletter or blog to get the latest updates) more rooms where Quality, IT, validation, security, and business leaders can stop speaking past each other and start building aligned decision logic together.
The final push for The Courage to Reinvent
After three years in development, my book is entering its final push:
The Courage to Reinvent: Leading Digital Validation into a Transformative Future.
It’s a practical framework for leaders who are done with compliance theater—and ready to build something that actually works.
Introducing ForgeRX: Quality Decision Intelligence
ForgeRX is our solution and it’s how we operationalize Quality Decision Intelligence.
Most quality systems manage artifacts. ForgeRX is built to strengthen what matters most: the quality and defensibility of decisions in complex, regulated environments.
ForgeRX brings together the signals that teams already generate across modern digital validation work—context of use, risk, evidence, governance logic, and traceability—so decisions become:
-
clearer and more consistent,
-
easier to defend,
-
less dependent on institutional knowledge,
-
and stronger under audit-level scrutiny.
This is how we move from “we produced documentation” to: “we can prove the decision.”
Ascend: the partner program
Ascend is the partner program.
We’re collaborating with strategic partners like Valkit.ai to integrate ForgeRX with digital validation platforms that are data-first focused, and to provide enablement support that helps customers realize value faster—implementation patterns, training, readiness support, and field enablement.
This time of year, can be difficult for many. If you’re running on empty, please be gentle with yourself. And if someone around you feels a little quieter or heavier, offer grace. Offer space.
Here at ProcellaRX we toast to the people who question assumptions, challenge the status quo, and keep showing up with integrity and curiosity even when the work is hard.
Thank you for being part of this chapter with us.
Here’s to reinvention. 🥂
We’ll see you in 2026.
