Sanction Risk Pattern Checker
A descriptive pattern check, not a predictive model or legal risk score. It compares the flags you enter against what our FDA enforcement database already has on file for the company you name. It cannot and does not forecast future FDA action.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Sanction Risk Pattern Checker a prediction of future FDA action?
No. It is a descriptive pattern check comparing the flags you enter against what our FDA enforcement database already has on file for the company you name. It cannot and does not forecast future FDA action.
Where does the score come from?
A baseline of 2 points plus flags on file in our database (prior warning letters, a recent action) and any checkboxes you select (open Form 483, warning letter in the past 24 months) — every point is shown in the score breakdown, nothing is hidden.
What if my company isn’t in the database?
The score still reflects the flags you entered manually; the tool tells you plainly when no company record was matched, rather than guessing.
Is this tool free?
Yes, no signup or card required, with a fair-use daily rate limit per IP address.
Does a low score mean a company is compliant?
No — it only reflects what is on file in our tracked database and the flags entered. Absence of a record is not proof of compliance, and see methodology for our coverage window.
