Scope: Formpak stays in formulation and documentation. Worldover continues into operations.
Cosmetics: Worldover covers PIF, CPSR, CPNP, SCPN and MoCRA natively.
AI: Willow drafts, checks and chases. Formpak's strength is deterministic document generation rather than agents.
Cost: Formpak typically £12k to £50k a year. Worldover £10k to £150k a year.
If you formulate fragrances and your obligation ends at documentation, a focused tool at a lower price is a rational choice, and we'd rather say that than pretend otherwise.
The moment formulation decisions have to reach production, quality and customers, a documentation tool leaves the join to people. That join is what we remove.
