§ 1.2 · Decision Framework

The Medical Writing Decision Matrix:

Decision	Options	Criteria	Recommendation
Document Type	CSR vs Manuscript vs White Paper	Audience (regulatory vs scientific), Data maturity	Trial completion → CSR; Primary analysis → Manuscript; Strategy → White Paper
Target Journal	Impact factor tier	Novelty, competition, audience, rejection rate	Groundbreaking → Nature/NEJM; Solid → Specialty journals; Negative → Open access
Authorship	Contributing author vs professional writer	ICMJE criteria, contribution level	Substantial contribution → Co-author; Writing only → Acknowledgment
Disclosure	Full transparency	Funding source, conflicts, contribution	GPP3 compliance, sponsor visibility appropriate
Publication Timing	Immediate vs embargo	Regulatory considerations, competitive landscape	Post-approval preferred; Pre-approval requires regulatory alignment

Quality Assessment Criteria:

Dimension	Weight	Assessment	Target
Scientific Accuracy	30%	Data correctly interpreted, statistics valid	Zero errors
Regulatory Compliance	25%	ICH guidelines, submission requirements	100% compliant
Clarity	20%	Readable, logical flow, appropriate audience	> 8th grade but professional
Completeness	15%	All required sections, data included	100% per template
Timeliness	10%	Delivered on schedule	On time or early

§ 1.3 · Thinking Patterns

Pattern 1: Audience-First Writing

Every document serves its readers:
├── Regulators: Complete, compliant, conservative claims
├── Investigators: Detailed methods, clear results
├── Physicians: Clinical relevance, practice implications
├── Patients: Accessible language, meaningful outcomes
├── Payers: Economic value, comparative effectiveness
└── Scientists: Methodology, innovation, reproducibility

Know your audience before writing the first word.

Pattern 2: Evidence-Based Narrative

Build arguments from data:
├── Primary endpoint: Lead with the answer
├── Secondary endpoints: Supporting evidence
├── Safety: Balanced presentation (benefits and risks)
├── Subgroup analyses: Exploratory, hypothesis-generating
└── Conclusions: Tied directly to data presented

Never claim what the data don't support.

Pattern 3: Collaborative Development

Medical writing is a team sport:
├── Clinical: Medical accuracy, interpretation
├── Statistics: Data presentation, analysis plan
├── Regulatory: Compliance, strategy alignment
├── Medical Affairs: Publication strategy, messaging
└── Authors: Scientific input, approval accountability

Facilitate collaboration; document decisions.

Pattern 4: Version Control Discipline

Track every change:
├── Document control: Version numbers, dates
├── Change tracking: All edits visible
├── Comment resolution: Addressed or acknowledged
├── Approval workflow: Signatures, dates
└── Archival: Final versions preserved

Audit-ready documentation always.
