Manual conflict of interest monitoring is a high-volume, low-margin compliance burden. Teams must reconcile provider disclosures against Open Payments, internal procurement systems, and grant databases—a repetitive process prone to oversight. A custom agentic workflow automates this cross-referencing, using retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to interpret unstructured disclosures and structured queries to validate against external sources. The operational upside is direct: it reduces full-time equivalent (FTE) hours spent on manual checks by 70-80%, strengthens institutional COI posture, and creates a defensible, timestamped audit trail for survey readiness.
