Standard by MetraSlate | Public Safety Edition

The Next Edition. In Development.

After the Metrology Edition comes public safety and emergency services: the operational records of an agency, its people and their qualifications, the readiness of its equipment, the review its work requires, and the records it is obliged to keep. It is being shaped with the people who do the work, using Metra Praxis.

Scope

What the Edition is For.

Operations and records around the systems an agency already runs. Not a replacement for them.

Agency operations
The work an agency does and the records it leaves, as subjects with lifecycles, numbered, with an audit trail under every field.
Personnel and qualifications
People, their roles, and the certifications and qualifications they hold, with expiry, recorded against the person.
Equipment readiness
What the agency owns, where it is, what it has been through, what is due, and the documents that belong to it.
Review and quality
Review before a record is final. Nonconformance and corrective action as records with owners.
Records obligations
Retention, access and the audit trail an agency is required to produce, designed from the obligations themselves.
Integration
Alongside existing emergency communications and records systems, exchanging what those systems can exchange. Standard does not dispatch and does not replace a computer-aided dispatch system.

Status

Where It Stands.

Discovery, not delivery.

The Public Safety Edition is in development. The platform underneath it exists and runs the Metrology Edition today; what the edition adds is the agency’s own vocabulary, records, standards and workflows, learned from the people who do the work and reviewed by them before anything is built. Examples of how emergency communications work are treated as hypotheses until domain experts confirm them.

Method

Built the Way Every Edition is Built.

Read about Metra Praxis.

Learn the work from the people who do it. Write the whole system down, with the record that cannot be wrong at its center. Put the picture in front of the experts for review. Deliver a bounded first release, and verify it against the work.
