The complete RiskGATOR Suite — transforming your existing QC data into real-time operational risk intelligence that protects patients, empowers lab professionals, and reduces healthcare costs.
Experience the first software designed to extend proven QC science with Mathematically-Optimized Risk Evaluation™
Dear Laboratory Director / Quality Manager, The statistical quality control methods that transformed laboratory medicine remain foundational to quality practice. Today’s laboratories, however, operate in a far more complex environment—facing tighter regulatory expectations, faster analytical systems, increased operational variability, and greater accountability for patient outcomes. RiskGATOR helps laboratories build on proven QC science with real-time operational risk intelligence aligned with modern standards.
Statistical QC remains essential for detecting analytical variation. Yet statistical indicators alone cannot always quantify clinical relevance, operational impact, or the probability of patient harm in real time. Risk-based laboratories need both statistical rigor and operational visibility.
RiskGATOR is the first medical laboratory software to implement M.O.R.E. Quality™ (Mathematically-OptimiZed Risk Evaluation) — a scientifically rigorous framework aligned with CLSI EP23A, ISO 15189:2022, CAP, and CLIA. Building on established analytical metrics such as sigma, RiskGATOR translates QC performance into Medically Incorrect Results (MIRs) per failure event and estimates the probability of patient harm as "one error every 'x' hours, days, weeks, months, or years." You will know exactly how many patient results are at risk — and exactly what to do about it.
| ❌ Traditional Statistical QC | ✅ RiskGATOR: M.O.R.E. Quality™ |
|---|---|
| ✗Reports rule violations without quantifying patient impact | ✓Quantifies patient impact before results are reported |
| ✗Assumes statistical performance equals clinical safety | ✓Verifies clinical risk in real time |
| ✗Estimates errors per one million results — no clinical relevance | ✓Estimates probability of harm as one error every 'x' hours, days, weeks, months, or years |
| ✗QC rule performance does not directly verify daily detection capability | ✓Verifies Daily QC can detect unacceptable risk in a single run |
| ✗No breakdown for cause of errors — no root cause guidance | ✓Guides investigation of common faults causing reduced method accuracy and/or precision |
| ✗No cost analysis — healthcare waste goes unquantified | ✓Quantifies avoidable healthcare costs caused by lab errors and recommends improvements |
Developed by clinical QC experts Zoe Brooks and Raymond Gerz — who have collaborated since 2008 and founded AWEsome Numbers Inc. in 2011 — RiskGATOR is aligned with CLSI EP23A, ISO 15189:2022, and modern risk-based extensions of proven QC science.
RiskGATOR combines intelligent analytics, cloud collaboration, and actionable insights in one platform.
"I was genuinely impressed by the platform's depth of capability, particularly its ability to consolidate complex risk data into clear, actionable insights. The combination of strong analytics, practical usability, and thoughtful design makes it a powerful solution for organizations looking to strengthen their risk management approach."
We are looking for laboratories that are ready to lead the transformation in quality risk management. Ideal Early Adopter participants include:
AWEsome Numbers was founded on a simple belief: the statistical quality control science that transformed laboratory medicine remains essential—but today’s laboratories require greater operational visibility, stronger risk-based decision making, and clearer alignment with modern global standards.
Since beginning their collaboration in 2008, Zoe Brooks, Raymond Gerz, and the AWEsome Numbers team have been dedicated to helping laboratories build on proven QC methodologies while meeting the evolving risk-management expectations of CAP, CLIA, ISO 15189, and CLSI EP23.
Through proprietary algorithms, interactive simulation, advanced analytics, and professional education, AWEsome Numbers translates complex statistical data into actionable operational intelligence—empowering laboratory professionals worldwide to optimize quality control decisions, strengthen patient safety, and implement change with confidence.
