- | Documentation Method | Data Granularity | Audit Compliance | Real-Time Monitoring | Retrieval Speed | Implementation Cost | Professional Assessment ||—|—|—|—|—|—|| Paper logbook | Manual entry only, prone to gaps | Meets minimum GLP if signatures present | None. Retrospective only | Slow, requires physical access | Low ($50–200 for forms) | Acceptable for pilot studies but fails at scale. No temperature verification, high human error rate || Spreadsheet tracker | Moderate. Depends on template rigor | Partial. Lacks automatic timestamps | None unless manually updated hourly | Fast if well-organized | Low (free software) | Common choice but requires discipline. Easy to backfill data, hard to prove real-time compliance || LIMS integration | High. Automated sensor data capture | Full GLP/GMP compliance | Yes. Continuous temp/humidity logging | Instant query capability | High ($5K–50K depending on system) | Gold standard for regulated research. Automatic deviation alerts, tamper-proof tim
