PRRC Capacity Planning Calculator

Estimate annual PRRC workload based on portfolio complexity, regulatory change frequency, and incident intensity. Use this to decide whether in-house, external, or hybrid coverage is most defensible for your operating model.

Directional planning output. Use formal risk and legal review before final staffing decisions.

Capacity model

Set your baseline assumptions. The model estimates annual PRRC hours and suggests a practical coverage model you can validate with providers.

Interpreting workload output

Low-hour range

Typically fits lean, stable portfolios. Teams often use an external PRRC or part-time internal owner with straightforward escalation procedures.

Mid-hour range

Usually requires stronger governance routines. Hybrid arrangements become useful: internal process ownership plus external specialist coverage during change peaks.

High-hour range

Suggests sustained operational load where single-person setups become fragile. Teams should stress-test backup capacity, surge response, and continuity assumptions before finalizing contracts.

FAQ

What does annual PRRC hours mean?

It is a directional estimate of oversight effort across conformity checks, technical documentation governance, PMS/vigilance coordination, and change management.

How should I use this before provider selection?

Use the workload estimate as a baseline in provider interviews. Ask how each provider would cover peak periods and continuity requirements with your same assumptions.

Can I run this for both MDR and IVDR portfolios?

Yes. For mixed portfolios, choose the more demanding assumptions to avoid underestimating effort.
