Describe the work. Approve what comes back.
Every project runs the same way, whatever the regulation. Here Foresight answers a customer’s substance questionnaire from your own records, and asks your suppliers for the rest.
Illustration of one project. The request reads: Answer this customer’s substance questionnaire from our records, and ask suppliers for what’s missing. Foresight reads the customer’s 86 questions and replies: I’ll answer what I can from your formulations, ask suppliers for the rest, and send you the answers to approve. It plans the work: Read the questionnaire, Match each question to your records, Ask suppliers for the rest, Draft each answer with its source. Your records answer 79 of 86 questions. Foresight asks 3 suppliers for the other 7. Priya Nair, Product Stewardship Manager, checks each answer against its source, such as a supplier’s declaration that no PFAS are intentionally added, and approves the completed questionnaire. The answers go into the customer’s own file, each with its source, ready to send back.
Say what you need in plain words, and share what you already have.
Foresight sets the scope, plans the work and drafts each deliverable with the sources it rests on.
The person you name reviews each deliverable against its sources. Nothing is final until they sign it off.
Approved work comes back ready to use.
Your data, kept secure
Your data is kept in your organisation’s own workspace, separate from every other customer’s. It is encrypted in transit and at rest, including nightly backups, and is not shared with model providers for training. Foresight runs regular penetration tests.
How Foresight protects your data
What consultancies ask
Is each client’s work kept apart?
Yes. Each client’s work can run in its own Foresight workspace, with its own profile, alerts and files, apart from every other client’s.
Who gives the advice to our clients?
Your consultants. Foresight runs the research and links each finding to the official text it comes from, so your consultants can check it before they advise. The judgement and the advice stay yours.
Can a client check the sources behind our work?
Yes. Every finding links to its source, such as a regulation, a consultation page or a journal article, so a client can follow the evidence behind each point in your deliverable.
Can Foresight keep our consultants’ own knowledge current?
Yes. Horizon scanning scores new rules against the substances and markets your practice follows, and literature monitoring scores new papers against its substances and endpoints. Each change links to its source.
What do you need from us?
A description of the work for one client, and the products, substances and markets it covers. Useful inputs include the client’s product lists, formulations or safety data sheets, and the questions they have asked you. You also name the consultant who approves each deliverable.
Bring one client’s work to a demo
Foresight talks through one client’s products, substances and markets with you. You’ll see the scope and the price before the project starts.
