Protocol-to-build, without the rebuild.
SteadFlow translates clinical protocols into structured, validated study models. A deterministic compiler that turns documents into executable clinical infrastructure — replacing the manual translation step between protocol approval and study build.
The upstream study-definition layer.
SteadFlow is the foundational layer of the Clinstead ecosystem. It replaces manual translation of study documents with a structured modeling environment — and outputs the canonical model that everything downstream runs on.
Protocol ingestion
Automated extraction of study structure, arms and schedules directly from PDF and Word protocols.
SoA interpretation
Dynamic generation of the Schedule of Assessments, mapping visits to data collection instruments with zero manual entry.
Logic validation
Pre-compile validation of branching logic, repeating instruments and cross-event calculations.
Deterministic compile
One-click generation of REDCap-ready outputs, CDISC SHARE and Clinstead-native study definitions.
From protocol PDF to validated build artefact.
Ingest
Upload protocol, CRFs and schedules. SteadFlow identifies the core study entities automatically.
Model
Refine arms, events and instruments in a visual canvas. Logic is validated as you build.
Validate
Automated checks for protocol compliance and technical feasibility across the full study lifecycle.
Compile
Generate the final study definition manifest. Ready for instant deployment to SteadEDC or REDCap.
What SteadFlow is. And what it is not.
- A structured study modeling environment
- A protocol-to-EDC build compiler
- A centralized source of truth for study logic
- A validation engine for clinical requirements
- A document storage or DMS system
- A live data capture interface
- A project management tool for sites
- A simple PDF-to-Excel converter
Connect your protocol to live operational infrastructure.
SteadFlow outputs the canonical model that powers the entire Clinstead ecosystem. From a validated build, every downstream surface stays in lockstep.
