Straight answers.

What people ask before a pilot. If yours is not here, ask it from inside the demo — the intake form on the last screen goes straight to us.

Beta and pricing

The beta

What does beta mean?

The product is in use and moving fast: features and fixes ship in hours and days. The record is not moving — the audit trail, signatures and certificate revisions are immutable by construction. Expect rough edges, fast fixes and a direct line to the people building it.

What does it cost?

Nothing during the beta. Every tenant is on one plan with every module on. Pricing will be introduced with notice; beta customers will not be surprised.

Is there a limit on users, assets or certificates in the beta?

No hard limits are enforced in the beta plan. Tell us your volume in the pilot request so we size the workspace.

What happens to our data if we stop?

It is yours. An audited full-tenant export is a built-in function, and certificates leave as PDF and DCC.

Pilot and migration

Getting in

How does a pilot start?

Bring one lab and your real history. Three onboarding questions configure the workspace; the import engine maps your export and shows you the mapping before anything loads. We set it up with you.

Can you migrate from our current system?

Yes: spreadsheets and full exports from legacy calibration systems, including history, with original certificate numbers preserved. The run is idempotent and audited; phantom records are rejected.

How long does onboarding take?

A configured workspace exists before your first login ends. A realistic pilot on real history is a matter of days, most of it your review of the mapping and the templates.

Compliance

Assessors and inspectors

Does using Metroliq make us ISO/IEC 17025 accredited?

No software does. Accreditation is granted to your laboratory by your accreditation body. Metroliq is built so the records, certificates, uncertainty, decision rules and quality system meet the standard's requirements, and the readiness self-check tells you what an assessor will ask for. See the compliance page.

Is it 21 CFR Part 11 compliant?

The platform implements the Part 11 controls — validated system, two-component signatures bound to meaning, secure time-stamped hash-chained audit trails, authority checks, retention. Compliance is a property of your validated use; the validation kit gives you the evidence.

Can we get a validation package?

You get our supplier evidence — functional specification, test specification, IQ and a verification suite that executes in your own instance and signs what it found — plus the workspace where you author your URS, your risk assessment, your verification strategy and your validation summary report. The supplier half is ours. The validation of your intended use is yours, and the workspace is built to make it take days rather than months.

AI

About the AI

What does the AI decide?

Nothing. It drafts specifications, forms, budgets, investigations, CAPAs, mappings and reviews. A person approves and signs. The maths — uncertainty, TUR, guard bands, verdicts, intervals — is deterministic code.

Is our data used to train models?

No. Prompts contain only the record in context and are sent to the model provider through our gateway; the ledger records what was sent (by hash) and what came back.

Can we turn the AI off?

The builders are optional per workspace. The deterministic engine, the signatures and the audit trail do not depend on them.

Hosting and security

Where it runs

Where is it hosted?

As a cloud service behind Cloudflare with TLS 1.3 and strict certificates. On-premise deployment is available on request for contracted customers. Details on the security page.

Do you have SOC 2 or ISO 27001?

Not yet. The controls are documented on the security page and can be reviewed in a pilot; certifications are on the roadmap and will be announced when they are real, not before.

Does it work offline?

Field capture works offline through a device outbox and syncs when a connection returns. Signatures are never applied offline; they are applied at sync by the user present.

Support

When something is wrong

How do we get help?

Inside the product: the built-in assistant answers questions about your data and where things are, and escalates to a human with the context attached. Beta customers talk to the people building it.

How fast are fixes?

Hours and days, not release cycles. Every change ships with the test gates green and the OQ re-runnable.

Can we request a feature?

Yes, and in the beta it is the normal way the product grows. Tell us the pain, not the button.

Beta · free while we build it with the first labs and plants

Bring one lab and your real history.

The tour runs the working platform, not a mockup. Pilot on your own instruments with your own imported history — we set it up with you, and fixes ship in hours and days, not release cycles.
