Built inside the world it watches
Audera wasn't designed from a market report. It was built by someone who spent fifteen years shipping pharmaceutical websites inside agencies — and who got tired of finding out about problems from the client.
the founder
Nick Wilkins
I've spent more than fifteen years as a developer in and around pharmaceutical marketing agencies — building, launching and maintaining the kinds of sites Audera now monitors. Promotional sites, HCP portals, patient support programmes; UK, EU, US and global rollouts; every flavour of review cycle.
Across those years the same three moments kept happening. The near-miss: a wrong job code sitting live for weeks until a medical reviewer — or worse, the client — spotted it, and the week of archaeology that followed. The Friday afternoon: someone senior clicking through an entire site by hand before a review meeting, proving only that it was fine that day. And the search: going looking for a tool that understood job codes, ISI links and black triangles, and finding only generic enterprise governance suites priced and built for someone else entirely.
Audera is the tool I kept wishing existed — 25 pharma-specific checks, every page, every night, with the screenshots to prove what was live and when. Built for the account handlers, copywriters, producers and directors who carry the risk.

what audera believes
Three principles, held firmly
01 Evidence beats reassurance
"We check it regularly" isn't an answer a pharma client should accept. A timestamped screenshot of every page, every night, is. Everything Audera reports comes with the evidence attached.
02 Pharma-specific or nothing
Generic web governance tools check accessibility and spelling. They've never heard of a date of preparation. Every check in Audera exists because pharmaceutical websites need it — and the catalogue is public.
03 Nothing to install, ever
Agencies rarely control their clients' infrastructure, so Audera watches from the outside, like a visitor. If a tool needs a tag on a pharma client's site, it'll be in review for a quarter.
Help shape it
Audera is in invite-only beta with a small group of pharmaceutical agencies — the product is being built with the people who use it.
