Every MSL row, verified against its Test Certificate.
No shortcuts. No assumptions. No evidence, no acceptance.
Real screen recording — login, upload, review, finalize. Fictional demo dossier, invented company & TC numbers.
No spam — one email when your access opens.
Three steps, in order — the same order a careful inspector uses.
Upload the dossier
The MSL (Material Summary List) plus its supporting Test Certificates, lab and NDT reports. TraceQC renders every page as a document with a page number — not as flattened text.
The pipeline drafts the verification table
A pipeline of vision/LLM agents classifies pages, locates each MSL row's matching TC, and cross-checks TC No., Size, Qty, Grade, Heat No., and chemical/mechanical values against it — with a source page cited on every value. Anything unreadable is flagged for Manual Cell Check, never guessed.
QC/TPI reviews and finalizes
The inspector reviews the draft 8-section TPI report against its citations and makes the accept, hold, or reject call. TraceQC never marks its own work approved — only a human finalizes a signed, audit-ready report.
Same standard. Different amount of hunting.
What actually changes when a pipeline reads the certificate instead of a person.
| Manual review | With TraceQC | |
|---|---|---|
| Time per certificate | ~5–10 min* | ~1 min to a draft* |
| Evidence behind a value | Inspector's own notes; page reference optional | Source page cited on every value — PDF Page __ / TC Item __ |
| A cell you can't read | Judgment call, or left blank and chased later | Manual Cell Checkflagged, never guessed |
| An incomplete certificate | Easy to miss under time pressure — a missing date or table slips through | Flagged line by line — missing issue date, missing chemistry table, unsigned TC, each named |
| Granularity of a finding | Row-level pass/fail | 6 field statuses — PassReviewManual Cell Check and more |
| Second read | Rare — one person, under time pressure | Primary read plus an automatic recheck — not one rushed pass |
| Audit trail | Email threads and file versions | Tamper-evident HMAC audit chain; HMAC-signed finalized report |
| Cost of an overrun review day | ₹2,500+ minimum extra-day charge* | ~₹1,500 effective per dossier* |
| Who signs off | QC/TPI inspector | QC/TPI inspector — unchanged |
*Founder's field estimate from manual QC/TPI review experience — not yet a measured benchmark across a published dossier set. Early-access batches will publish real numbers as they come in.
Material traceability failures aren't hypothetical.
These are real, government-investigated incidents — not TraceQC customer stories. Three different industries, three different failure modes, one common thread.
Chevron Richmond Refinery Fire
An 8-inch carbon steel pipe ruptured from sulfidation corrosion — the failed section's silicon content was far below the level needed to resist it, undetected among nominally identical piping.

NTSB found the pipeline's records listed seamless Grade X42 pipe — but the ruptured section was actually welded pipe of unrecorded specification, installed decades earlier. The records didn't match what was in the ground.

A supplier falsified mechanical-property test certificates on aluminum parts for close to 20 years. Two NASA science-mission launches failed as a direct result — over $700M in missions lost.
Source: NASA / DOJ investigation, 2019Chemistry that varied component to component. Records that didn't match what was actually installed. Certificates that were simply false. Different industries, different failure modes — the same gap every time: nobody was checking every value against its source.
No evidence, no acceptance.
This is the one rule the product doesn't bend on — and it's why the copy below reads the way it does.
No evidence, no acceptance.
A readable value is the exact extracted value — never rounded or "cleaned up".
An unreadable cell becomes a Manual Cell Check, not a guess.
Final report rows are MSL rows only — nothing is added that wasn't on the list.
The final accept / hold / reject decision is always made by a human QC/TPI inspector.
Curious about TraceQC?
Straight answers — same evidence-first rule applies to the copy here too.
What is TraceQC?+
An AI-assisted verification tool for industrial QC/TPI: it reads a Material Summary List and its Test Certificates, cross-checks every row against its certificate evidence, and drafts an 8-section TPI report for a human inspector to review and finalize.
Does TraceQC approve or reject certificates?+
No. It extracts, compares, and cites evidence — the accept, hold, or reject decision is always made by a human QC/TPI inspector.
What happens when a value can't be read?+
It's marked Manual Cell Check. TraceQC never fills in a value it isn't confident it read correctly.
What documents does it work with?+
A Material Summary List (MSL) plus its Test Certificates (TC/MTC), and supporting lab or NDT reports.
Is our data secure?+
TLS in transit, JWT + refresh-token rotation with optional TOTP 2FA, a tamper-evident HMAC audit chain, HMAC-signed finalized reports, and multi-tenant isolation by company.
When do I get access?+
TraceQC is taking on 5–10 design-partner teams before a wider launch. Email [email protected] with a bit about your dossiers and we'll set up a demo.
Hand your next dossier to TraceQC.
Upload your MSL and Test Certificates — TraceQC drafts the verification table with a source page cited on every value. You still review and sign off, just without hunting through pages by hand. We're onboarding QC and TPI teams in small batches — leave your email and we'll reach out when a spot opens.
