Onboard

Generate catalog drafts for a biobank or institution from its published evidence.

Usage

CLI

vcro onboard "Sahlgrenska Biobank"

Slash command

/onboard Sahlgrenska Biobank

How it works

Onboard is the supply-side workflow. Search-first: the wiki is the output of onboard, not a gate. The system searches the institution's published footprint (PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov), compiles evidence into the wiki, then generates catalog drafts.

Handoff Gaps for review

Resolve maps the institution name to its wiki slug and checks existing entity coverage.

Search queries PubMed and ClinicalTrials.gov for the institution's published footprint. This runs regardless of wiki coverage — the wiki is a cache, not a gate.

Compile ingests discovered papers and builds wiki entities (cohorts, investigators, platforms) linked to the institution. The wiki grows before drafts are generated.

Draft runs three catalog skills: catalog (the listing itself), compliance (consent and access terms), and pricing (cost structure and analogues). Drafts draw on the freshly compiled evidence.

Handoff aggregates all gaps into follow-up.md. The institution reviews the drafts and fills the gaps. The operator sends the package — the system does not contact PIs directly.

Both sides, same wiki

The same entity articles serve buyers and suppliers. Institutions with a cards: block get two views: buyer_view (what a buyer sees) and onboarding_view (what the institution sees about its own coverage). No separate database. No data fork.

What gets written to disk

store/catalog/sahlgrenska-biobank/
  listing.md        # Draft catalog entry
  compliance.md     # Consent regimes, IRB status, MTA terms
  pricing.md        # Cost structure, analogues, unknowns
  follow-up.md      # Gaps the institution needs to fill

Every file header says DRAFT FOR INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW. These are not live listings. They become live after the institution confirms.
