Questions
What people ask before they trial it.
Do you need access to our IUCLID installation?
No. We never ask for its address, an account on it, or a network route to it. The extension
works inside the IUCLID tab you opened and logged into yourself, which is why it works the same
on IUCLID Cloud, on a server behind your firewall and on a local installation.
What happens to our study reports?
They are stored while they are being worked on, and used to draft the records you review.
Once every endpoint a report was tagged to has been approved, the stored file is deleted. A
rejected draft keeps its source for a short grace period so you can retry without uploading
again. Excerpts are sent to our AI provider for drafting and are not used to train models.
Can it write something we did not approve?
No. An approval is what turns a draft into an action plan, and the extension only ever
executes plans that carry one. Before writing it verifies that the record open in front of you
is the record the plan targets. A wrong substance stops the run and is never recovered from
automatically.
Can it overwrite or delete work we already have in IUCLID?
It cannot delete. The instruction set an approved plan can express is limited to opening a
tab, creating a record or a reference, filling a field, adding a repeatable entry and saving.
No delete or clear operation exists in it. Where a record for that endpoint is already there,
the extension reopens it instead of duplicating it and writes only the fields the plan names,
which will replace the content of those specific fields exactly as typing into them would.
Everything else in the record is untouched, and more than one existing record stops the run.
Can the AI act on our IUCLID by itself?
No, and not because we forbid it. The model has no network access to your systems, no
credentials and no mechanism to trigger anything. It reads a report and returns structured
data. That data is checked against the IUCLID field schema, then a person approves it, and only
an approval produces something the extension will execute. Remove the human and the pipeline
stops at a draft.
How accurate is the drafting?
Accurate enough to be worth reviewing, never accurate enough to be trusted unread. That is
the whole design. Drafts arrive with authoring notes, a schema format check, and explicit flags
on every derived value. The reviewer is the quality gate, and the tool is built to make that
review fast rather than to remove it.
Our study reports are scanned, not digital text. Does that work?
Yes. When a report's pages carry no extractable text, those pages are transcribed by a vision
model before drafting starts, and the resulting record is flagged so you know to check the
transcription along with the interpretation.
Which IUCLID versions do you support?
IUCLID 6, version 10.0.0 today. Version support lives in a pack on our side rather than in
software you install, so a new release is something we publish, not something you upgrade. If
you run a different version, tell us and we will give you a straight answer on timing.
Are you affiliated with ECHA?
No. IUCLID is published by the European Chemicals Agency. Dossier Flow is an independent
product and is not affiliated with or endorsed by ECHA.
What does a team need to get started?
An account, a browser, and the reports. Create your organisation, add the people who will
review, install the extension in the browser you use for IUCLID, and pair it once with a short
code that an owner confirms. That is the whole setup.
