CAPA dates are commitments, not suggestions
Regulators and auditors read timelines — when investigation closed, when corrective action shipped, when effectiveness was verified. Missed dates without rationale erode trust faster than the original non-conformance.
Start from the event date everyone agrees on. Layer SOP defaults for investigation and implementation windows, then add effectiveness review after fix — not before root cause is credible.
This tracker is planning math, not your quality system of record. Pharma Quality Studio holds the narrative auditors expect.
