# Internal safety teams — In-house toxicology

> Give a small in-house team the reach of a much larger one.

An internal safety group is always outnumbered by the portfolio it owns. ToxIndex extends that team, automating the routine assessment and screening so your toxicologists spend their time on the judgment calls only they can make.

## Outnumbered by the portfolio

In-house safety teams carry a backlog that only grows: new formulations, incoming substances, regulatory changes to absorb, and questions from every corner of the organization. There are never enough toxicologist-hours to go around.

ToxIndex takes the routine screening and gathering off the team and lets the wider organization self-serve cited answers, so your experts focus on the high-judgment work while keeping control, with human review where it counts.

## Key facts
- **Self-serve** — cited answers for the wider org
- **Hours** — for screening that took weeks
- **In-env** — deployment keeps structures with you
