Build. Assess. Assure.

Most validation stops at the point where a device produces a number. We start there. Metriqx tests whether the signal supports the output, whether the output supports the claim, and whether any of it survives the setting where the device is actually used. The last of those is a human factors question, and no bench test answers it.

BuildWhat to build, and what to measure

Most evidence problems are settled before anyone writes a protocol, in the product decisions that fix what you can ever demonstrate.

We work with teams at that point:

  • Defining the clinical use case
  • Establishing what has to be true for a clinician to act on your output
  • Building the path from what you can claim now to what you need to claim

We also hold the named Clinical Safety Officer role under DCB0129, for companies who need a registered clinician and do not have one.

AssureWhether it survives real use

A hazard log built from intended use records only the use you imagined, not the one on a short-staffed night shift, by someone interrupted twice, who does not entirely trust it.

How we work

Six methods sit behind every engagement: clinical use-case definition, claim traceability, signal interrogation, use assessment, evidence gap specification, and regulatory positioning. Which ones apply depends on where your product is, not which package you buy.

Defining the clinical use case needs a registered clinician who has held the clinical problem, and who can also judge whether the measurement behind it holds. It cannot be learned from a standard, which is why a regulatory consultant cannot do it for you.

Independence

Metriqx does not conduct investor diligence on companies it advises, and does not offer advisory to companies it has assessed on behalf of a third party. Assessment and advisory are separated by client, not by project.

Self-assessment toolkit

Check your own claims against the framework before you talk to anyone. Twelve questions, scored in your browser: nothing is sent anywhere. It ends by naming the offering that fits your weakest layer, including when the answer is none of them.
