Compliance Scanner
Paste any healthcare marketing content. Get a 0-100 compliance score with flagged phrases, risk ratings, rule citations, and compliant rewrites in 30 seconds.
Short verdict
The scanner is the front door. Every piece of healthcare marketing should run through it before publishing - and every piece already published should be audited against it.
What it is
The compliance scanner is an AI-powered rule engine that reads your marketing content, identifies phrases matching FDA warning letter and FTC enforcement patterns, assigns a 0-100 compliance score, and surfaces specific compliant alternatives for each flagged phrase. It runs on Anthropic's Claude (Haiku for speed, Sonnet for rewrites) with our curated rule set of 300+ active patterns sourced from actual enforcement actions.
Capabilities
What it does
0-100 compliance score per piece of content
Every scan returns a numerical score you can track over time and use as a publish/hold threshold. Scores correlate to severity and count of flagged issues.
Phrase-level flagging with rule citations
Each flagged phrase includes the specific rule category, the source authority (FDA, FTC, state board), and why the phrase triggered the flag. Not just 'problem here' - here's the specific rule and the specific evidence base.
Risk level per flag (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW)
Not every flag is equally urgent. HIGH flags typically reflect disease claims, FDA-approved misuse, or safety absolutes. MEDIUM reflects substantiation issues and superlatives. LOW reflects disclosure gaps and style considerations.
Context-aware matching
The scanner doesn't just pattern-match on words. 'Our treatment helps manage joint discomfort' is different from 'Our treatment treats arthritis' even though both mention joints. Context determines whether claims cross lines.
Specialty-specific rule sets
Rules calibrate to your specialty - med spa scans use different patterns than weight loss scans. Same engine, specialty-appropriate detection.
Multiple input types
Paste text, upload files (.txt, .pdf, .docx), or scan by URL. All inputs produce the same scoring format so results are comparable across content types.
How it works
Step by step
1. Submit content
Paste marketing copy into the scanner, upload a file, or enter a URL to scan. The scanner accepts website copy, social posts, ad creative, emails, scripts, landing pages - any text-based marketing surface.
2. AI analysis against rule set
Content runs through our rule engine (built on Anthropic's Claude) comparing against 300+ patterns from real enforcement. The rule set updates daily as new FDA warning letters and FTC actions publish.
3. Score and flags returned
In under 30 seconds, you get a compliance score, every flagged phrase highlighted in context, risk level per flag, and the specific rule source for each flag.
4. Review and fix
Click into any flag for details and the compliant rewrite suggestion. Accept, modify, or mark as acceptable-with-review. Each decision is logged.
5. Rescan to verify
After edits, rescan to confirm the score improved and specific flags resolved. Most content goes from 20-40 initial score to 85+ after one rewrite pass.
Use cases
How practices actually use it
Pre-publish review on every social post
Paste the caption before scheduling. 15 seconds, clear go/no-go signal. Catches the disease claims and missing disclosures that cause FTC issues.
Quarterly website audit
Scan every marketing page against current rules. Prioritize corrections by score + reach. Most practices find 15-25 fixable flags on the first scan.
Ad copy review before campaign launch
Each ad variant gets scanned before going live. Catches the specific claims platforms and regulators both care about. Saves rejected-ad cycles.
Warning letter response preparation
If you receive an FDA letter, a full scan of the cited surfaces plus related content produces documentation your attorney can use in the response.
Competitor marketing analysis
Scan competitor content to understand where they're exposed. Not as a weapon - as a benchmarking tool for your own compliance posture.
Agency output review
Every deliverable from your marketing agency passes through the scanner before you publish. Catches what their internal review missed.

What Compliance Scannerisn't
Honest positioning: what this tool does and doesn't do, so you can decide whether it fits your need.
- Not legal advice - the scanner provides educational compliance guidance based on a rule set; a healthcare marketing attorney should review close-call items and all regulatory responses.
- Not a content generator - the scanner analyzes and rewrites existing content; for creating new content from scratch, use a drafting tool like ChatGPT or Jasper, then scan before publishing.
- Not a grammar or style tool - it doesn't flag comma splices or passive voice; use Grammarly or similar for grammar.
- Not a guarantee - compliance is a judgment call at the edges; the scanner reduces risk dramatically but does not eliminate it.
