Customer snapshot

Eli Lilly is a global pharmaceutical company and one of the world's largest producers of insulin and other critical medications. As part of an AWS ProServe engagement, Cloudtech was brought in to automate and scale Lilly's Innovation Readiness Assessment process — a complex, manual workflow requiring significant effort from domain experts across multiple data sources.

Goal

Design and implement an enterprise Agentic AI platform on AWS that automates Eli Lilly's Innovation Readiness Assessment process — replacing manual SME effort with a standardised, scalable, evidence-backed AI workflow.

Challenge

Manual assessments could not scale

Eli Lilly's Innovation Readiness Assessment required domain experts to manually collect, analyse, and evaluate information across internal, public, and licensed data sources. Each assessment was time-consuming, difficult to standardise, and challenging to replicate across different products and therapeutic areas.

Evidence was fragmented and inconsistent

Information lived across enterprise knowledge bases, public APIs, licensed data sources, and proprietary tools. Without a unified retrieval layer, assessments lacked traceability and consistency — making it difficult for SMEs to validate findings or understand how conclusions were reached.

SME oversight could not be eliminated

Despite the need for automation, human expert review and override capability had to be preserved. The solution needed to augment SMEs, not replace them — with confidence scoring, source evidence, and human-in-the-loop controls built into every assessment.

Solution

Cloudtech designed and implemented an enterprise Agentic AI platform inside Eli Lilly's AWS environment. Eight specialised AI agents operate in parallel to evaluate IRA attributes, retrieve supporting evidence, generate structured scores and rationales, and consolidate findings into a comprehensive readiness assessment.

Multi-agent orchestration

A multi-agent architecture using LangGraph and LangChain enables eight specialised domain agents to execute in parallel and consolidate their findings into a standardised IRA assessment — reducing assessment time from days to hours.

Evidence-grounded retrieval

RAG implemented across enterprise knowledge, public APIs, licensed data sources, and custom data tools provides traceable, contextually relevant insights — with confidence scoring, contradiction detection, and coverage-gap identification built into every output.

Human-in-the-loop controls

Domain SMEs can review, validate, and override AI-generated results at any point. Persistent assessment history and conversational refinement allow SMEs to interact with completed assessments and understand the reasoning behind every finding.

Scope + Timeline

Inputs Delivery Post-Launch
IRA attributes and scoring criteria Week 1: Architecture + AWS Setup Monitoring and observability
Enterprise knowledge bases Week 2–3: Agent Build + RAG Integration SME feedback incorporation
Licensed and public data APIs Week 4: Testing + HITL Validation Pattern extension to new areas
Existing assessment workflows Go-Live: Full Production Deployment Ongoing agent tuning

Outcomes

  • Eight specialised AI agents operating in parallel — replacing a manual, SME-intensive process with a standardised, repeatable workflow
  • Evidence-grounded retrieval across enterprise knowledge, public APIs, and licensed data sources — with full source traceability on every finding
  • Confidence scoring, contradiction detection, and coverage-gap identification built into every assessment output
  • Human-in-the-loop controls maintained — SMEs retain full ability to review, validate, and override AI-generated results
  • Persistent assessment history enables conversational refinement — SMEs can interrogate findings and understand reasoning
  • Reusable enterprise Agentic AI pattern established — extendable across products, therapeutic areas, and other knowledge-intensive workflows
