OUR PHILOSOPHY

“Number of calls” tells you nothing about impact. We measure what moves the needle.

Whether you run TikaMSL as your primary Medical Affairs CRM or layer it on top of your existing platform, it replaces vanity KPIs with outcome-driven intelligence — insight-to-action rates, KOL development progression, response velocity, and engagement quality that connects scientific exchange to real-world outcomes.

Every dashboard, report, and alert is designed around one question: “What impact did we have on the healthcare ecosystem?”

IMPACT METRICS

Vanity KPIs vs. outcome intelligence.

Traditional CRMs count activities. Tika measures what those activities produce. Every legacy metric on the left has an outcome-driven counterpart on the right — select any highlighted metric to see how Tika defines and tracks it.

Legacy CRM metricTika outcome metric
Number of interactions this month→Interaction outcomes & follow-through rate
Total HCPs in territory→KOL stage progression (Identify → Champion)
Number of insights logged→Insight-to-Action % & avg. response time (days)
Events attended→Conference KPIs, session engagement, post-event intelligence
Emails sent→Sentiment analysis, strategic theme tracking
Speaker events booked→FMV compliance rate, spend-to-cap ratio, speaker development

KOL CONTINUUM

From identification to championship.

Tika tracks every HCP’s journey along a development continuum that is fully customized to your organization’s strategy, therapeutic area, and product lifecycle stage. Whether you’re in pre-launch discovery or post-launch advocacy, the stages, labels, and progression criteria are yours to define.

DEVELOPMENT CONTINUUM · STAGES, LABELS AND CRITERIA ARE YOURS TO DEFINE1IdentifyDiscover high-potential KOLs2InitiateFirst scientific exchange3CultivateDeepen engagement4CollaborateActive partnership5ChampionTrusted advocate
CONFIGURABLE
Customized to your strategy

Stages, labels, KPIs, tier definitions, and progression criteria are fully configurable per customer, per therapeutic area, and per product lifecycle phase. Pre-launch teams emphasize identification and initiation; mature brands focus on deepening collaboration and measuring advocacy impact. Every metric aligns with your strategic plan — not a generic template.

AGENTIC AI
AI-powered KOL analysis

Generate streaming, dossier-style KOL reports on any HCP — with downloadable Word and Excel artifacts — to improve pre-call planning. Prioritize which KOLs to develop next based on engagement history, publication profile, and clinical trial involvement.

AGENTIC AI

An AI that acts, not just answers.

Tika’s embedded AI assistant doesn’t just chat — it reasons, queries live data, and writes reports. Powered by LLM function calling with real-time CRM data access, it is always grounded in truth, never hallucinating from stale training data.

Natural language CRM queries

Ask questions in plain English. The AI autonomously calls the right database functions, composes the answer, and streams it back in real time.

Function calling on live data

The assistant invokes the same service layer your REST API uses — HCP search, speaker profiles, interaction history, account details. No stale snapshot. Always current.

“What’s Dr. Smith’s KOL tier, last interaction, and upcoming events?”
