How Urgency Scoring Works
Three factors combined into one label:
| Factor | Weight | Logic |
|---|---|---|
| Recency | 40pts | ≤30 days = 40, ≤60 = 35, ≤90 = 30, ≤180 = 20 |
| Violation severity | 30pts | CGMP/Adulterated = 30, Data Integrity = 28, Unapproved = 22 |
| Response status | 20pts | No response = 20, Response filed = 5 |
| Score | Label | What it means |
|---|---|---|
| ≥70 | critical | Active remediation window — call now |
| ≥50 | high | Recent violation, likely still responding |
| ≥30 | medium | Older or less severe — still worth outreach |
| <30 | low | Resolved or old — low priority |
Data Source
FDA Warning Letters Database — public, updated weekly, ~3,400 letters total.
How It Works
- Reads FDA's warning letter listing (the data behind the table on fda.gov), newest letter first
- Applies your subject and office filters to the listing, so you get exactly
maxResultsmatching letters - Fetches each letter's page for recipient name, title and address, slowing down automatically if FDA rate-limits
- Scores urgency and generates "why call today" signals
- Optionally enriches with Apollo for company size and domain
Tip: subjectFilter matches the letter's subject line only. Many drug letters read "CGMP/Finished Pharmaceuticals/Adulterated" with no "Drug" in them, so for every drug letter set issuingOfficeFilter to CDER. Letters to online pharmacies and websites often name no person, only the company and its address.
