> How the KeyPedia Document and Profile Hub connects FDA source documents with structured observations, entity relationships, and risk analysis.
---
The Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) allows the public to request records from federal agencies, including the FDA. Organizations can file these requests directly, pay a FOIA service to manage the request, buy a previously obtained record from a document shop, or license a regulatory-intelligence platform.
KeyPedia’s Document and Profile Hub uses a different model: the purchase includes a structured intelligence profile and the source documents used to build it.
## The FDA document market, in five lines
- **Direct FOIA request:** Ask the FDA to locate and release a record.
- **FOIA service:** Pay a third party to manage the request process.
- **Document shop:** Buy a copy of a record the provider previously obtained.
- **SaaS platform:** License access to hosted regulatory data and analytical tools.
- **KeyPedia:** Purchase a structured profile together with its source documents.
**The approaches differ in wait time, delivery format, analytical context, and whether access is purchased or licensed. Most importantly, KeyPedia’s distinction is its interpreted data schema and the ability to integrate that structured information into existing workflows.**
## Why it is called the Document and Profile Hub
The **and** is the important part.
**1.** The source documents
**2.** Structured observations linked to cited rules and statutes
The source document preserves the original evidence. The profile makes its observations and relationships searchable, comparable, and easier to analyze.
*Each observation remains linked to the rule it cites and to the original FDA document.*
## Purchase a profile in three steps
**1.** Open [KeyPedia Lite](https://www.keypedia.com/browse).
**2.** Search for the company or facility.
**3.** Select the profile and check out.
The profile becomes available after purchase, together with its supporting documents.
*The profile and its supporting documents are selected together.*
## From profile to analysis
The structured profile is the common layer behind KeyPedia’s platform and headless integrations. It supports corpus-wide search and comparison while making the same interpreted schema available to internal chatbots, dashboards, agents, and analytical workflows. Purchased profiles can also be shared across the organization.
*The same schema supports comparisons across companies, record types, violation codes, FDA offices, and dates.*
