01 / 10

One unit. Its own history.

This step’s data belongs to the sample record. The photograph illustrates the medicine; it does not represent a scan or a physical check.

The whole journey follows the same product and its record.

Who contributes or decides
Programme participant
What changes
The unit to be identified is defined.

Illustration. It does not depict a real Traza installation or product.

02 / 10

Before the code, an accountable party.

This step’s data belongs to the sample record. The photograph illustrates the medicine; it does not represent a scan or a physical check.

The participant joins and describes the product.

Participant
Defined responsibilities and permissions.
Product
Description and declared data.
Who contributes or decides
Participant and programme owner
What changes
An accountable party, the description and the identification rules are linked.

Registering information does not by itself prove that the object matches it.

03 / 10

The identity is issued.

This step’s data belongs to the sample record. The photograph illustrates the medicine; it does not represent a scan or a physical check.

The identifier is linked to the unit record.

Identity
Issued · not yet applied.
Who contributes or decides
Issuer authorised by the programme
What changes
Narrative state: issued. This does not yet imply application or activation.

The signature attests issuer and data integrity. It does not prevent physical copies.

04 / 10

Applied does not mean active.

This step’s data belongs to the sample record. The photograph illustrates the medicine; it does not represent a scan or a physical check.

The mark is applied to the object; activation is still pending.

Application
Mark applied to the object.
Activation
Pending · not yet active.
Who contributes or decides
Person responsible for application on the line
What changes
Application is recorded separately from authorisation to activate.

These states are a narrative proposal; they do not extend the verification engine.

05 / 10

Activation has a condition.

This step’s data belongs to the sample record. The photograph illustrates the medicine; it does not represent a scan or a physical check.

After production, the owner completes lot and expiry before activation.

Narrative state
Active · change documented.
Who contributes or decides
Authorised role under the programme rules
What changes
The state changes from pending to active and the change is documented.

Illustrated transition. No activation date or real authorisation is invented.

06 / 10

One lot. Distinct identities.

This step’s data belongs to the sample record. The photograph illustrates the medicine; it does not represent a scan or a physical check.

Each medicine package keeps its own QR; the lot provides shared context.

Product
Oral solution · 120 ml; declared concentration and health registration.
Lot
Shared production and expiry context.
Unit
Its own QR on the carton or bottle.
Who contributes or decides
Responsible manufacturer or importer
What changes
The record links each unit to product, lot and expiry.

This link does not record transport, distribution or sales.

07 / 10

Closing production activates the units.

This step’s data belongs to the sample record. The photograph illustrates the medicine; it does not represent a scan or a physical check.

The issuer confirms which codes were used when the run ends.

Used code
Activated after completing the record.
Unused code
Voided when the issuance closes.
Who contributes or decides
Production owner
What changes
Used codes become active; unused codes are voided when the issuance closes.

Printing a code alone does not show that the unit is activated.

08 / 10

A gap needs context.

This step’s data belongs to the sample record. The photograph illustrates the medicine; it does not represent a scan or a physical check.

The record is incomplete. Let us review the reason and the expected coverage.

State
Event not received.
Review
Pending synchronisation, a documented exception or another reason to establish.
Who contributes or decides
Participants providing events and the review team
What changes
Received events are compared with what was expected to be recorded.

An event not received is a state, not a cause. A gap does not prove fraud.

09 / 10

Four readings. Different limits.

This step’s data belongs to the sample record. The photograph illustrates the medicine; it does not represent a scan or a physical check.

The lookup separates the evidence; it does not give an authenticity score.

Signature
Issuer and integrity of the signed data. It does not prevent physical copies.
Registry
Identifier found and declared status. Does not demonstrate location.
Data
Information to compare. The person checks whether it matches the product.
Signals
Patterns in the available records. No alerts does not mean no risks.
Who contributes or decides
Person looking up and comparing the product
What changes
Available information is shown without conflating the checks.

The lookup does not certify physical authenticity.

10 / 10

The same unit, with more history.

This step’s data belongs to the sample record. The photograph illustrates the medicine; it does not represent a scan or a physical check.

A signal helps prioritise review. It does not make an accusation by itself.

Signal
An observation that merits review.
Outcome
Documented human decision; not an automatic verdict.
Who contributes or decides
Review or inspection role, according to the programme
What changes
The review and its documented outcome are added to the record.

Example: the outcome may confirm or correct the state. It does not modify the record.

Proposed route · subject to the applicable regime

01 / 08

First, define the need.

Existing controls and visibility gaps are reviewed.

Manufacturer and importer route
Voluntary agreement between the parties.
Public programme
Authority and procurement decisions under its jurisdiction.
Who contributes or decides
Buyer and programme participants
What changes
Scope, use cases and what to measure are agreed.

Proposed route, not a universal legal formula or a deployment commitment.

02 / 08

Rules come before technology.

What gets identified, who records, what is public and what is protected.

Data and access
Ownership, custody and permissions defined per programme.
Operations
Equipment, consumables, integration and support: responsibilities to agree.
Who contributes or decides
Programme owners and participants
What changes
Data, permissions, responsibilities and costs to agree are documented.

Ownership is not automatically assigned to the state or to Traza.

03 / 08

Listening is documented too.

Consult, document and respond to the comments received.

Who contributes or decides
Manufacturers, importers, healthcare teams and programme owner
What changes

The pilot requires prior authorisation or contracting.

Prerequisite
Pilot authorisation or contracting.
Baseline
Prior measurement with an agreed method and comparison.
Who contributes or decides
Buyer, pilot owners and evaluation team
What changes
The method is agreed and the starting position is measured before the pilot.

Possible outcome
Meets the agreed criteria.
Example with a finding
Correct an incomplete capture and check it again.
Who contributes or decides
Independent evaluator and programme owner
What changes
Evidence is assessed against the acceptance criteria.

An audit may approve without findings. The correction shown is only an example.

07 / 08

Scaling is an informed decision.

Expansion rests on measurable acceptance, cost and capacity.

Traza’s technical role · proposal
Issuance, events, lookup, integration and portability; scope to agree.
Who contributes or decides
Buyer and competent authority or parties
What changes
The decision is to proceed, adjust or not expand; onboarding may be phased.

A proposal for medicines

A shared foundation. Different needs.

Manufacturers, importers, pharmacies and healthcare teams need to look up the same unit with different permissions. Traza proposes connecting their records, with responsibilities and scope agreed in each pilot.

Medicines are the use case featured on this website. Integrations, permissions and operations are agreed and validated for each program.

Meet Traza

Private technology. A commitment to service.

Traza is a private company proposing digital identity for medicines. This site describes the platform; it does not establish contracts or endorsements from health authorities.
