Stability studies (ICH Q1A) produce large volumes of measurements across formulations, storage conditions, timepoints, and methods. The data arrives as messy per-instrument exports - SEC-HPLC, CEX-HPLC, DLS, HIAC, potency - with cryptic sample identifiers and no shared schema.
The question that matters is regulatory: the supported shelf life under ICH Q1E. Answering it takes three separate statistical judgements - per-batch regression, poolability of batches, and admissible extrapolation - that must line up. AssayVault models exactly that chain, end to end.
The awkward part is that none of those three judgements is independent. Whether batches may be pooled changes which regression carries the claim. The claim in turn decides how far beyond the observed data the answer may reach. A spreadsheet holds any one of them comfortably. Holding all three at once, for 24 molecules across 52 projects, is where it stops being the right tool.
