The script first, the visuals second

Six rules, applied to every film before the first frame.

Animation: a frame from our video on varicocele; the camera moves towards the line of sources, the source “[2] CNGOF 2024, p. 13” lights up, a thread links it to the exact passage, highlighted word by word in the document, then the film's figures: 29 referenced lines, 16 references, 59 exact passages
The line, its source on screen, the exact passage in the document: the method in twelve seconds, on a real line from our video on varicocele. Animation produced by Eryon.
  • Sources first

    Guidelines from the HAS, the French National Authority for Health, and from medical societies, institutional reports, literature reviews, the SmPC or the leaflet for a product: the list of sources is fixed before writing begins.

  • One line, one verifiable idea

    Every line carries a single idea, precise enough to be checked against a passage. If the source does not say exactly what the line says, we rewrite the line, never the source.

  • The exact passage, with its page

    For every line, the passage that supports it is copied word for word, with the page of the document. A translation is marked as such.

  • Caution where the evidence calls for it

    A mechanism that is only probable is worded with may or could; the type of data, in humans, in animals or in vitro, is stated when it matters.

  • Distribution rules from the first draft

    Information or advertising, general public or professionals: the framework is set at scoping, and the expected statements are written with the script.

  • The visuals follow the text

    The storyboard starts from the approved script. On screen, the line of sources accompanies every spoken line, as in our films.

A published video, with all its sources

Our video on varicocele shows its sources during every line. Its page gives the text of the voice-over, in French, line by line, with the on-screen sources and its 16 references.

Excerpt, 10 s Varicocele and male fertility: symptoms and treatments. The most common clinical abnormality in infertile men, even though most men who have one are fertile: the dilated veins around the testicle, the presumed mechanisms, the signs, the diagnosis, then three options, monitoring, surgery and embolisation, given the same time and with no comparison.

The justification file, row by row

Five rows from the file of our video on varicocele, in French: the spoken line, the source, the page and the exact passage. A single line can rest on several sources.

The full file for this video ties its 29 lines to 59 exact passages, cited 64 times.

Who uses it, and how

The same file serves everyone who reviews.

A pharmaceutical company's MLR reviewers check every claim without hunting for the sources themselves.

In France, the company's responsible pharmacist (pharmacien responsable) prepares the ANSM advertising visa application with references already paginated.

The co-authoring doctor reads the quoted passages before approving the medical lines.

A patient organisation shows where each piece of information comes from when a member asks a question.

The marketing team reuses the approved lines in adapted versions, without losing their sources.

Four steps, from source to approval

The four steps of every film, and the justification chain of a real line.

  1. 01

    Scoping, in 30 minutes

    Objective, audience, where the video will be shown, available references and regulatory points to watch.

  2. 02

    The referenced script

    Every line is tied to a reference, with its page and the exact passage that supports it.

  3. 03

    The visuals

    Motion design and medical animation, with AI assisting part of the production. Diagrams remain illustrations.

  4. 04

    Checks and delivery

    An automated check finds every passage, word for word, on the page cited; two independent AI-assisted audits then re-check a sample in the documents; your review committee, or your MLR review in a pharmaceutical company, approves the final version.

What you receive

The justification file is part of the deliverables of every client film, with the script and the references.

  • The film and its broadcast files

    Landscape for your website, YouTube and the training room; portrait, square or 4:5 for social media.

  • Subtitles and transcript

    SRT file and full text: accessibility, viewing without sound and search visibility for the page that hosts the film.

  • The script and the justification file

    Every line, its reference, its page and the exact passage, ready for your internal review.

  • The bibliographic references

    The full list, in order of appearance, with links to the public sources.

  • The versions you need

    Short excerpts, stills, a poster or slides, depending on your channels. Quoted with the final version.

  • Languages

    The languages you choose: every translated line keeps its source and exact passage, and the rules of the country where the video is shown are checked at scoping.

What the method does not do

The justification file replaces neither your committee's medical review, nor, for a promotional video shown in France, the ANSM visa, nor the prior authorisation some medical device advertisements require. It does not say that a video is compliant: it shows where each line comes from, so that those who approve it can do so quickly and on the evidence. Today, an automated check finds every passage on its page, then two independent AI-assisted audits re-check a sample; this double audit applies to scripts written since 22 October 2026. No doctor has yet signed off the review of our awareness videos: their publication is decided by an Eryon founder, who is not a doctor. Your films, for their part, are approved by your review committee.

Frequently asked questions

What does a justification file contain?
For every line of the voice-over: the reference or references that support it, the page of the document, the exact passage copied word for word, its translation when the passage is in English and the film in French, and the type of source (guideline, systematic review, information sheet). It is delivered as a spreadsheet, with the script and the list of references.
Is the justification file public?
For a client film, it belongs to you and serves your review. For our awareness videos, it is not published: each video's page shows, line by line, the on-screen sources and the list of references. A source to discuss? Write to contact@eryon.eu.
Who checks the quoted passages?
An automated check finds every passage word for word on the page cited; two AI-assisted audits independent of the writing, one of them by a model from another family, then re-check a sample. Our video on varicocele went through the automated check and one independent audit, on 15 October, on the previous version of the script. For your films, your review committee, or your MLR review in a pharmaceutical company, then approves the script. For our awareness videos, no doctor has yet signed off the review: their publication is decided by an Eryon founder, who is not a doctor.
Is the justification file enough to obtain the ANSM visa in France?
No. It makes the application easier to prepare, because every claim in it is tied to its reference and its page, but the decision lies with the ANSM, and internal approval with your responsible pharmacist (pharmacien responsable) and your MLR review.
Can you reference a script we have already written?
Yes. We start from your texts and your references: every line is tied to its source and its exact passage, and any line that no source supports is flagged to you before production.
