PositionScaleAlpha
Operational clarity for research labs — lab analytics, project visibility, growth planning, and lab pulse in one place. Built for principal investigators and lab leaders who want clear signals without extra overhead.
PositionScale Platform
PositionScale is the Research Operations Platform built for modern universities. It centralizes the tools and insights that help institutions strengthen research excellence, compliance, and culture across every lab.
From equipment procurement and biosafety certification to mentorship analytics and institutional dashboards, PositionScale gives VPs of Research a clear, data-driven view of how labs operate — and where to intervene for improvement.
Today, research operations are fragmented. PositionScale connects those silos, transforming disconnected lab activity into actionable institutional intelligence.
Institutional insight
Real-time dashboards aggregate signals across labs and units to identify gaps before they affect retention or funding.
Research ops, simplified
Streamline equipment purchasing, vendor coordination, and biosafety certification so labs stay focused on research—not paperwork.
Mentorship & culture analytics
Secure, anonymized feedback and benchmarking across engagement, inclusivity, and mentorship quality—surfacing institutional trends.
Connect silos. Create institutional intelligence.
PositionScale centralizes operational activity, compliance signals, and culture indicators so institutions can see what’s happening across labs — and act early.

How it lands across roles
Research leadership buys for institutional outcomes — but adoption happens in labs. This section clarifies the value each stakeholder experiences, so rollout and change management are straightforward.
Institutional oversight without micromanagement
For VPs of Research, Deans, and research office leaders: turn fragmented lab activity into actionable institutional intelligence—so you can intervene earlier, reduce risk, and strengthen researcher experience.
- Dashboards across labs, departments, and research units
- Benchmark mentorship quality, culture, and compliance readiness
- Spot trends before they impact retention, audits, or funding
Connect → Collect → Analyze → Act
PositionScale connects existing systems, aggregates operational and culture signals, and turns them into actionable institutional insight.
Connect
Labs and research offices onboard through secure integrations with existing systems (HR, compliance, procurement).
Collect
PositionScale aggregates activity data — certifications, mentorship feedback, and operational metrics.
Analyze
AI models benchmark labs and departments across performance and culture indicators.
Act
Dashboards highlight where intervention, support, or policy updates can drive the greatest impact.
Each lab benefits from local tools for efficiency, while the institution gains oversight and strategic insight.
Built for institutions handling sensitive data
PositionScale follows essential cybersecurity controls and maintains a documented privacy management program aligned with BC PIPA and federal PIPEDA. We’re actively pursuing CyberSecure Canada certification — the Government of Canada’s recognized standard for SMEs — to validate our security baseline.
Security baseline
A practical baseline focused on access control, encryption, monitoring, and incident readiness.
- RBAC + MFA
- TLS 1.3 in transit, AES‑256 at rest
- Centralized logging + alerting
View full baseline controls
Privacy program
A documented privacy management program for transparent, auditable handling of institutional and personal data.
- Named Privacy Officer + governance
- PIAs for new features/integrations
- Retention + subject request procedures
