Overview
Transformative Medicine's researchers work across scientific literature, medical data, and internal research documents.
They needed an easier way to find relevant material, see where it came from, and review it before using it in their work.
The Challenge
The existing research process involved:
- - Research knowledge spread across documents, repositories, and tools
- - Manual effort required to locate and synthesize relevant information
- - Extra review when answers were inconsistent or lacked clear sources
- - Useful institutional knowledge that was difficult to reuse
These steps slowed knowledge review and made it harder to share a consistent research process.
The Approach
Tactical Edge worked with Transformative Medicine to design an AI-assisted knowledge workflow for a defined set of research tasks.
The workflow focused on:
- - Organizing approved internal knowledge for search and review
- - Finding relevant passages from approved sources
- - Showing source context and routing the response to a researcher for review
Researchers remained responsible for interpreting the material and deciding how to use it.
What Changed
The work helped the research team:
- - Reduce time spent searching and validating research materials
- - Review AI-assisted answers more consistently
- - Provide source references to support review against approved materials
- - Establish a reusable workflow for additional research tasks
The result was a clearer path from a research question to source material and human review.
Why It Matters
The workflow gave researchers a faster way to gather relevant material without removing the checks their work required.
Source context and a defined review step made each response more useful to the person doing the research.
For a similar project, we would start with the research questions, approved sources, and review steps your team already uses, then agree on how to measure improvement.
