Professional review and investigation support

Four paid professional-service levels, available to all users and non-subscribers. You do not need a paid Failure Investigator plan—or an app account—to request them.

Invoice and quotation route. When MTIS receives a Level 1–3 request, it issues the applicable fixed-price invoice immediately. A Level 4 request proceeds to a bespoke quotation, not an invoice. This public website does not take payment or generate invoices itself.

Payment at launch

Payment is manual and is confirmed by MTIS staff. No automated payment gateway is offered at launch, and personal bank details are never published on the website.

Non-Malaysian invoices carry this line:
“Contact MTIS for international payment instructions.”

Who delivers the work

Every professional-service level is delivered by MTIS staff meeting the approved qualification bar:

  • Chartered Engineer.
  • At least relevant Master's level in materials engineering, metallurgical engineering or a closely related discipline.
  • 20+ years in materials or metallurgical engineering.
  • 15+ years in failure investigation.
  • IMM Level 4 Failure Investigator certified.

A professionally edited deliverable is separate from the app report

An app-generated report remains AI-generated, including Expert output with integrated RCA. When you purchase professional review, qualified MTIS staff create a separate, edited deliverable attributed to the named staff member. It is not a re-stamped copy of the AI report.

The app-generated output states: “AI-generated — not professionally reviewed by MTIS.”
