Site Qualification
This is the due diligence phase. Potential sites are rigorously vetted through feasibility questionnaires and Site Qualification Visits (SQVs). This isn't just a checklist exercise. It’s about verifying a site's claims, understanding their competing trial landscape, assessing staff experience and turnover, and confirming they have the specific patient population needed. This is where you separate the truly capable sites from those that just look good on paper.
