Working with RocSite

Three ways in. One of them fits you already.

Most of what we build — AI Governor, Caliper, Discovery — is software, not a medical device. It doesn't need FDA clearance to run in your hospital, lab, or classroom. One thing we build — the ICH triage model — is a device, and it follows the device path. Below is exactly which is which, and how long each actually takes.

Track 1

Research & Pilot

Fastest way to see it on your own data — 1–3 weeks to first results
01

Scope the question

Short call: what you want tested and what "good evidence" needs to look like for your team.

02

IRB / research-use agreement

Runs under your institution's existing research-use or IRB framework. No purchase order, no vendor risk review.

03

Run it on real (de-identified) data

Every finding comes back signed and independently verifiable — you're not asked to take our word for it.

04

Decide, together

Publish it, extend the pilot, or convert to a license (Track 2). No obligation at any point.

Fits: hospital research offices, university labs, biotech R&D teams

Track 2

Licensed Product

Deploy as software, on your terms — 2–6 weeks to production
01

Pick the surface

AI Governor, Caliper, or Discovery — standalone or together.

02

License terms & deployment shape

Hosted by us, deployed in your environment, or air-gapped — whatever your compliance team requires.

03

Integrate

REST API and a signed public verification endpoint from day one.

04

Go live

No IRB, no device review — procurement and IT security review, same as any enterprise software.

Fits: hospitals & health systems, biotech & pharma, universities, other AI vendors needing governance

Track 3

FDA-Regulated Device

Applies to one product only — the ICH triage model
01

IRB-approved clinical validation

Your radiology/ED team runs the locked model against real cases under an IRB protocol.

02

510(k) submission

Predicate-device comparison and validation data go to FDA. Timeline is set by FDA review, not by us.

03

Clearance

Only after clearance does the ICH model deploy as a cleared diagnostic device.

Fits: hospitals wanting to be a clinical validation site — the fastest way onto this track is Track 1

Find your path in one line

I run a hospital or clinic

Radiology, ED, quality & safety, or compliance
Start: Pilot AI Governor on an AI system you already run
Deploy: License Governor once the pilot proves out
If interested in ICH: Become a validation site under IRB

I'm a biotech or pharma company

Pharmacovigilance, R&D, regulatory affairs
Start: Pilot Caliper against one real drug-safety question
Deploy: License Caliper for ongoing signal review

I'm a college or university

Research labs, medical schools, CS/informatics programs
Start: Research-use access to Discovery — no purchase order needed
Scale: Campus-wide license once a lab has validated it

One short conversation is enough to place you on the right track — most of the time it's obvious within the first five minutes.
