Clinly is the automated Electronic Data Capture platform that eliminates 12-week manual EDC builds. Upload a protocol PDF and walk away with a fully structured, 21 CFR Part 11-aligned study — automatically.
Why now: Protocol extraction reached clinical-grade accuracy in 2024. Legacy vendors locked into enterprise pricing. The automation window in a $70B market is open.
* 21× and 7-day figures based on internal benchmarks vs. industry-average 12-week manual EDC build (Tufts CSDD, 2023). NEXION3 protocol validation.
"The parser ran a 248-page Phase III oncology protocol in 52 seconds and extracted 312 data fields correctly on first pass. That would have taken our team 3 weeks manually."
— CDM review, NEXION3 protocol benchmark (internal validation, name withheld)
* Internal benchmark on a Phase III oncology protocol (248pp). Human review + publish adds ~4 hours for CDM team.
Two very different audiences. Two very different reasons this matters.
Upload a protocol PDF Monday. Have a fully structured, 21 CFR Part 11-aligned EDC live by Friday. No specialist teams. No 12-week timelines. No $200K setup bills.
Pre-revenue seed round open. Platform is built, tested on real Phase III protocols, and production-ready. Raising to execute GTM — not to fund development.
The industry runs on legacy platforms that require armies of specialists, months of manual setup, and produce data locked in proprietary formats.
The average clinical trial startup takes 68–75 days. EDC build and validation alone accounts for 12–16 weeks — before a single data point is collected.
EDC setup, programming, validation, and maintenance eats 15–20% of total trial budgets. Each protocol amendment adds $20K–$80K in change orders.
Legacy platforms like Medidata Rave charge 6-figure annual contracts while locking data in proprietary formats. Switching costs exceed the pain of staying.

Clinly reads your protocol and builds the entire EDC structure automatically. Your CDM reviews and approves. Done.
Upload any clinical trial protocol PDF. Clinly parses and understands it in seconds.
Visits, forms, fields, CDISC mappings, and visit-form relationships are extracted automatically.
Your CDM reviews the generated structure, makes adjustments, and adds edit checks in the form builder.
One click publishes the study. Sites begin enrolling and collecting compliant data immediately.
The wedge that beats every competitor on first contact
Upload any clinical trial protocol PDF and Clinly automatically extracts the entire study architecture — visits, forms, fields, CDASH mappings, and visit windows. What used to take a CDM team 3 weeks now takes under 60 seconds. A human-in-the-loop review step ensures clinical accuracy before publishing.
Append-only audit trails powered by PostgreSQL triggers. Every change is captured with user ID, timestamp, and old/new values.
Six export formats covering every regulatory destination.
Pre-built CDASH-compliant eCRF templates, ready to deploy or customize.
Visual schedule builder with color-coded completion and drag-and-drop form assignments.
Direct SQL query access with preset queries for enrollment, adverse events, lab trends, and audit trails. One-click CSV export plus a reporting dashboard.
