♜ Fallacy 8:
JCA is purely a scientific exercise, not a strategic one. Really?
When thinking about JCA, the focus often goes straight to the complex template, the potential high number of PICOs, and the extensive evidence requirements.
And yes, that is a real challenge 💪.
The template needs to be completed with scientific rigor, knowing that experienced assessors and co-assessors will review and challenge the content in a highly transparent setting.
But beyond the scientific workload, there is another dimension that is just as critical:
🔹 The dossier reflects deliberate choices, not just data compilation
🔹 Evidence is not simply “given”, it is shaped by conscious decisions
🔹 Regulatory strategies directly influence the narrative
📌 Key takeaway:
💡 JCA is not only scientific, it is inherently strategic!
💡 Building a robust strategy takes time, but it is a key success factor
