WHY PREPARE NOW?

The Cost of Waiting Outweighs the Cost of Planning

Teams that wait until V1 is finalized will have less time to align processes, systems, and training once adoption is expected. Starting now means:

  • Reduced Transition Risk — catch structural and process gaps before they become compliance issues

  • Protected Inspection Readiness — keep your TMF audit-ready throughout the shift, not just after it

  • Studies that Keep Moving — a phased, study-by-study strategy means ongoing work doesn't stall

  • Long-term TMF Health — teams and systems ready to operate confidently under the new standard
