Metrc schema tests for California cannabis software teams

A cannabis SaaS founder points the tool at Metrc's API; the tool emits a regression pack that flags every endpoint, field and enum delta since the last spec.

You get the checking already done: the evidence behind the idea, the sources it came from, and the objections it survived, all open below so you can judge them yourself.

Inside the pack14 documents
  • Where this starts
    The opportunity on one page: what it is, what checked out, and what we do not claim.
  • What you would be selling
    The thing that changes hands for money, written as an offer a buyer could accept today.
  • The field: who is already there
    The people already selling into this, what they charge, and where they leave the door open.
  • The numbers
    Pricing and the numbers behind it. Anything we could not verify is marked missing, never made up.
  • What would sink this
    The case against, at full strength, so you meet the objection here rather than from a customer.
  • What you build
    What to build, in what order, on what stack. Includes the non-goals for v1 and what would kill this.
  • How the first customers find you
    Where your first customers come from. Named channels, the beachhead to start in, and the signals that say stop.
  • How it runs once it works
    How it runs once someone pays. Delivery, capacity limits, the compliance you cannot skip, and where the manual work sits.
  • Your first fortnight
    Six steps for days one to seven: confirm the buyer, size the smallest paid offer, pick one channel.
  • The toolkit
    The named tools, services and suppliers this runs on, with what each one is actually for.
  • Copy you can paste
    Launch copy you can send today: listing page, outreach, social. Claim-checked like the research.
  • How to know in 30 days
    The one month test: what to run, what number to watch, and the reading that says walk away.
  • Everything we read, once
    Each check, what it found, and the source behind it, without hunting through the plans.
  • Every check, in full16 sources
    Every check this pack faced, each verdict, and a clickable source behind every claim.

Market
US · CAThe opportunity, its evidence and its economics are researched for this market. The pack itself is priced and sold in GBP.
Who pays
Founders and engineering leads at California cannabis software companies, reached through Metrc's public validated integrators directory and by going straight to the developers named on it.
How we tried to kill it

Each check is an attack, not a rubber stamp. An idea dies on the first check where cited evidence goes against it. This one survived all 6. Finding nothing is not the same as finding a green light; see how each check works on /how-it-works.

The 6 below run on every idea, whatever it is.

  • 1Whether the pain is imagined
  • 2Whether the value decays
  • 3Whether incumbents already own the space
  • 4Whether anyone will actually pay
  • 5Whether it can reach a market at all
  • 6Whether there is a legal landmine

The table of contents

Exactly what this pack covers, plus a blurred look at the document you receive.

Unlocks the moment you buy
  • 01A build plan for a tool that compares each new version of the Metrc API against the last one and reports every endpoint, field and value that changed.
  • 02A method for turning those differences into a ready to run test pack, so a vendor's own integration is checked automatically before their customers hit the break.
  • 03A route to buyers, starting with Metrc's public directory of validated integrators and the developers already listed on it for California.

A look inside

Real, sourced lines taken straight from the pack. Every source below is a live link: open one and check the claim before you buy.

Extract · evidence record
  • Metrc runs an open API built to connect with cannabis inventory and point-of-sale systems, and it has integrated more than 500 independent software providers.
  • A second commercial product, T3, also publishes a full API description for spec-aware tools to consume, which tells you the format is one the market already reads.
  • A developer needs a Metrc login, a generated API key, a third-party integrator key and a Metrc Connect subscription.
The rest of this section, and three more documents, are in the pack.
