Frequently asked questions

Direct answers about engineering scope, examples, traceability, beta access and pilots.

Does Rocklytics replace a geotechnical engineer?

No. It is a preliminary engineering workspace intended to make inputs, assumptions and outputs easier to inspect. A competent professional remains responsible for method selection, interpretation, design and approval.

Are the public examples project designs?

No. Public examples are synthetic or literature-based demonstrations. They are not recommendations for a real excavation or site.

Which units does Rocklytics use?

The workflow displays units beside inputs and outputs and requires a consistent convention. Users must still verify source units and conversions.

Can RMR, Q and GSI be converted directly?

Not universally. Correlations are conditional and can hide the different purpose and evidence behind each system. Preserve the original observations and method version.

What makes a calculation reviewable?

A reviewable case retains input values, units, sources, assumptions, method version, warnings and output context so another qualified person can reproduce and challenge it.

What is included in a pilot?

A pilot is scoped around one representative workflow, agreed success criteria and a bounded evaluation period. Commercial and technical terms are discussed before work begins.

Is public pricing available?

Not yet. Neither Rocklytics nor mineraX has public pricing; pilot terms depend on scope, users, support and evaluation needs.

How do I report a method or software issue?

Use the technical contact route and include the method, inputs, units, expected result and enough context to reproduce the issue.

What is mineraX, and can I use it?

mineraX is a separate RockTech NeXus workspace for preliminary surface-blasting engineering. mineraX is in development and under expert review. Join the waitlist. Choose mineraX on the shared beta form to join the waitlist; a waitlist request does not grant access.
