The engine

How the AXLRx engine works.

Four parts: a method, a model, live connectors and a gate. The deliverable is what survives all four.

Four parts, one standard.

The methodMore than 20 years of pharma commercial practice, written down as working procedure: which question each module answers, in what order, and what a finished answer must contain.
The reasoning layerA frontier language model works the method: structures the question, plans the retrieval, reads the evidence and drafts. It is never a source; anything recalled rather than retrieved is discarded.
The connectorsLive connections to the primary record through the Model Context Protocol (MCP): literature, trial registries, regulators, coverage policy, epidemiology and filings.
The gateEvery figure must be found in the document it cites. A figure that cannot clear the gate is removed, and a MoatRx consultant reads the result before it ships.

The AI engine

What the engine does, and what it is never allowed to do.

The engine does
  • Turns your question into the analysis the module requires
  • Routes each part of it to the source that is authoritative for it
  • Reads what comes back, reconciles conflicts and builds the exhibits
  • Places your asset in its competitive, clinical and payer context
  • Assembles the brief, the model and the readout as working files
The engine never
  • Uses model memory as a source
  • Keeps a citation it has not opened
  • Estimates a figure it could not verify
  • Ships without the independent audit pass
  • Ships without a consultant's read

The connectors

The connectors, and what each is trusted for.

22 live connections to primary sources, through the Model Context Protocol. The public ones are below; licensed literature and pipeline databases sit behind them.

PubMedMCP

Peer-reviewed literature. Every PMID is opened and matched to the claim it supports.

ClinicalTrials.govMCP

Trial records by NCT ID: design, endpoints, status, sites and sponsors.

FDAMCP

US approvals, labels, safety reports, recalls and shortages.

EMAMCP

EU authorisations, EPARs and orphan designations.

WHOMCP

Country-level health indicators from the Global Health Observatory.

SEC EDGARMCP

Filings and reported financials of US-listed companies.

CMS CoverageMCP

US Medicare coverage decisions and local coverage policy.

DrugBankMCP

Drug class, targets, interactions and cross-references.

ChEMBLMCP

Mechanism of action and bioactivity for named compounds.

Open TargetsMCP

Evidence linking targets to diseases, including genetics.

bioRxivMCP

Preprints, and whether they were later published.

ICD-10MCP

Diagnosis and procedure coding for patient definitions.

The gate

The gate: verify or drop.

  1. Live citationEvery claim is cited to a live PMID, ClinicalTrials.gov ID or URL at the point of writing. Uncited claims are dropped, not estimated.
  2. Live metadataPubMed metadata is fetched live during authoring. Model memory mis-attributes authors and journals even on correct identifiers.
  3. Numeric cross-checkThe figure must appear in the cited source, not merely be consistent with it. An independent audit pass then re-checks every link before delivery.
  4. Consultant readA fourth check, after the first three: every brief is read by a pharma commercial consultant before it ships, not released straight from a model.
AXLRx engine● sample runUS MASH Competitive Intelligence

Who controls the US MASH market and how should Rezdiffra defend access against in-market semaglutide?

The US MASH market is a live two-drug duopoly: Rezdiffra (resmetirom, approved Mar 2024) and Wegovy (semaglutide 2.4 mg, approved Aug 2025) both hold accelerated approval for noncirrhotic F2-F3 MASH. Semaglutide is already in-market, not a 2027 entrant, so the defensible move is locking preferred payer access and the fibrosis-regression position now, in a Year 0-1 retention fight.

Frequently asked questions

What is AXLRx?

AXLRx is a commercial consulting engine for pharma, built by MoatRx. It takes a commercial question about a drug, a market and a buyer, and returns a consulting deliverable in which every figure is traced to a live source. It runs as a commissioned service: there is no platform to operate.

How fast is an AXLRx report delivered?

Scope is confirmed within 24 hours of your request, and the deliverable arrives within 72 hours.

How does AXLRx verify its figures?

Each figure is cited to a PMID, trial ID or source URL at the point of writing, checked to appear in the cited document, and re-checked in an independent audit pass. A figure that fails is removed, not estimated. A MoatRx consultant reads every deliverable before it ships.

What types of report does AXLRx publish?

Four modules run on the engine: Competitive Intelligence, KOL Mapping, Clinical Trial Analytics and Patient Flow. The library also holds disease landscape, payer and HTA, launch readiness, pricing, market sizing and HTA strategy analyses, which are run as scoped engagements.

How do I commission a report?

Use the commission form, or book a 20-minute scoping call. You tell us the drug, the market, the buyer and the decision; we confirm scope within 24 hours.

What AI does the engine run on?

The engine's reasoning layer runs on a frontier language model, currently Anthropic's Claude, working to the MoatRx method. The model is never a source: every figure comes from a connected primary source such as PubMed, ClinicalTrials.gov, FDA or EMA, and is checked against that source before it is kept.

Which markets does AXLRx cover?

The library covers the US, UK, GCC, Germany and France. Other markets are scoped on request.
