About
We make a number mean something.
Metriq is a metrology company. We build the instruments that decide what gets paid — scales and dispensers — and the calibration system that keeps them honest after they leave the lab.
What we believe
Trust should be built into the instrument.
Across markets, collection points and buying centres, the most consequential number is a weight or a volume. When it can be quietly altered, the cost falls on the people least able to contest it.
Borrowing from electricity metering — tamper-evident enclosures and single-use tokens — we make instruments that record when they have been opened and refuse to recalibrate without authority from a server. The result is measurement that survives scrutiny.
Our aim is for this to become a standard that governments adopt. Until then, any operator can hold their own server and get the same guarantee across their own fleet.
