Supplier scorecard · deterministic, rules-based — not AIiHow these scores are obtained: each one is computed from this profile's listed attributes — capability checkboxes, certifications, capacity figures and coverage — by a fixed formula, recomputed on every page load. Deterministic and rules-based means the score comes from a fixed, transparent formula over listed attributes — the same inputs always produce the same score. It is not AI: there is no model, no learning, and no hidden weighting. Whether a score is relevant to you depends on your specific project: a capability that raises the number may not matter for your work, and a niche strength your project needs may barely move it. Capability scores are a directional starting point, not a verdict. A lower score does not disqualify a company or consultant, and no decision should rest on the score alone — always contact the company directly to confirm the specifics for your project.
Compliance iCounts agency registrations (FDA, EU GMP, MHRA, PMDA, WHO GMP, NMPA, PIC/S) at 6 points each capped at 35, ISO certifications at 5 each capped at 20, GMP status (cGMP commercial 25, GMP 18, Pharma-grade 10), plus DMF 7, CEP 7 and TSE/BSE statement 6. Levels: 80+ Fully GMP-compliant | 60-79 GMP-compliant | 40-59 Developing compliance | below 40 Research-grade. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
25Research-grade
Quality iBlends the reported audit score (up to 40 points), CAPA closure rate (up to 25) and deviation history (starts at 20 and loses 2 points per deviation), plus 8 for CoA availability and 7 for validation packages. Levels: 85+ Excellent quality | 65-84 Strong quality | 45-64 Good quality | below 45 Developing. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
—Not disclosed
Delivery iBlends on-time delivery percentage (up to 50 points), lead time (up to 30 - shorter is better, 2 points lost per week; 15 if not reported) and service level (Emergency supply 20, Expedited 14, Standard 8). Levels: 85+ Highly reliable | 65-84 Reliable | 45-64 Standard | below 45 Variable. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.

Documentation iCounts documents in the profile vault at 5 points each, capped at 35, plus flags for a Certificate of Analysis (15), validation packages (15), DMF (10), CEP (10) and a TSE/BSE statement (5). Levels: 80+ Full documentation | 60-79 Strong documentation | 40-59 Established | below 40 Basic. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
0Basic
Regulatory iCounts regulatory regions declared at 7 points each capped at 40, QMS maturity scaled by 1.5 (Validated 30, Established 18, Basic 6) capped at 30, and 15 for a declared FDA registration. Only the sub-scores a supplier has actually published count, and the total is rescaled to 0-100 over those - a missing input is never scored against it. Reports the dimension as undisclosed - no number, no bar - when neither a region nor a QMS tier is on file. No band claims inspection evidence; that lives in the cited certificate register. Levels: 80+ Strong regulatory | 55-79 Established | below 55 Developing. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
—Not disclosed
Breadth iCounts product categories at 7 points each capped at 35, catalog size at 3 points per listed product capped at 30, modalities served at 4 each capped at 20, plus 8 for sterile-grade and 7 for GMP-grade offerings. Levels: 80+ Broad portfolio | 60-79 Multi-category | 40-59 Focused | below 40 Specialist. Whether this dimension matters for you depends on your specific project.
