Every upgrade your admins make can take 20 to 60 hours of work, and Veeva ships three releases a year on top. Ask Wardian for the upgrade in plain words, or let it watch the releases. It drafts the configuration package and the validation documents each one needs, sized to its risk. Your team reviews and approves in your own system.

Sized to the risk. A new field would get far less.
A new field might need a line in the change log. A workflow upgrade needs a risk assessment, test scripts and a QA review: 20 to 60 hours, depending on the complexity. So upgrades wait for the next release, and the fix is late nights, early mornings or another consultant.
You know this system better than anyone. You should be spending your week improving it, not writing about it.
In the first month, one team saved 40+ hours of test script writing across eTMF and Quality Vault, and moved its upgrade timeline up by 6 weeks.
Estimates from our work with Vault teams: a simple upgrade takes about 20 hours of work over 1–2 weeks, a complex one about 60 hours over up to 8 weeks. Drafting takes about 10 minutes per upgrade in Wardian; in a real product run on demo data, a full test protocol took 4 min 40 sec. Both sides leave out testing and approval, which your team does either way, and the time your team spends reviewing the drafts. Cost uses $180 an hour, within the $160–200 consultant rates we hear. Veeva's own three releases a year are not counted.
Watch, Classify, Document. You decide.
We model your Vaults and build a feature risk map. Your QA unit approves it in your own quality system. One team was live in under two weeks.
Ask for a change in plain words, or let Wardian watch every Veeva release. Each change is classified against your risk map, so the drafts match the risk.
You review and import. Your team approves in your own document management system.
Videos use a fictional company and demo or synthetic data.
Pick an upgrade from your backlog, the kind that's waiting for the next release, and describe it in plain words. Ryan reads every one. You get back what that upgrade needs, ready to review and to show whoever signs off.
Leave out anything confidential; a plain description is enough. Drafts are graded against a reference risk map until your QA unit approves your own.
Wardian was built by Ryan Hoffman after ten years implementing validated GxP systems alongside the admins who run them. The build is usually the quick part. Wardian does the drafting around it.
A one-page brief for your IT Director or Head of Quality: the cost estimate, how approvals stay in your system, the validation position and the proof points.
We use it only to draft your documents and send them back. Leave out anything confidential; a plain description of the upgrade is enough.
From our work with Vault teams. A simple admin upgrade takes about 20 hours over 1–2 weeks, a complex one about 60 hours over up to 8 weeks. Wardian drafts the paperwork in about 10 minutes per upgrade; your team still reviews, tests and approves. Cost uses a rate within the $160–200 an hour consultant rates we hear. The estimate covers your upgrades only. Veeva’s three general releases a year add more; USDM estimates 40–120 hours of validation effort per Vault for each one.
Wardian reads and never writes. It drafts the configuration package, and you review it and import it into Vault.
Your team does. Every output Wardian produces is a draft until a qualified person approves it, and that person’s approval is the GxP record. This is enforced by system design, not by policy.
Wardian is validated as an indirect-impact system. It supports your GxP processes while your GxP records and decisions stay in your systems, and that is what sets the classification. We take your supplier qualification through the classification rationale and the evidence behind it.
Start every upgrade from drafts sized to its risk, so it can move as soon as your team has reviewed it, without the late nights.
