FAQ

The practical questions PIs ask before starting.

Is PositionScale Alpha included with services?
Yes. Every service engagement includes PositionScale Alpha, and we use it to keep delivery organized, track progress, and leave you with a reusable system.
Do I need to buy the software separately?
No—PositionScale Alpha is included with services. You don’t need a separate software purchase to get started.
How much time do you need from my lab?
We design engagements to be low-lift for PIs. After a short intake, we handle the coordination-heavy work and check in at an agreed cadence.
How do we choose the right service?
Start with the service closest to your bottleneck. If it doesn’t fit cleanly, choose Custom Services and we’ll scope a tailored engagement.
