The operational methodology suite — available now by instant download

IPSRM™ is available under two individual practitioner licences. Both are processed securely via Gumroad and delivered immediately by download.

The Practitioner Licence is the foundation — the complete IPSRM™ methodology and the right to deploy it commercially. The Professional Licence is the complete suite, adding the full commercial and legal practice infrastructure, the supplementary client-facing instruments, and the Meridian Logistics Ltd Worked Example. Both licences confer a named professional status and include a personalised IPSRM™ Licence Certificate issued by Vertex Method Ltd.

The Worked Example is also available as a standalone evaluation product for practitioners considering a licence.

IPSRM™ is applicable across jurisdictions. The methodology architecture and calibration framework are jurisdiction-neutral.
