I accepted the certificate before examining the measurement need

I am Miriam Qormeli, CTO of the fictional Dazqavi Measurement Systems in Nagpur. I once supported release on the strength of a calibration record without requiring a sufficient account of fitness for the intended measurement. The provenance mattered, but it did not answer every question about uncertainty and use. A review of twenty-four qualification results supported eighteen for the stated purpose and left six indeterminate. We retained the ₹64 lakh review expense and held the affected release while qualified engineering and quality owners examined the remaining evidence. The original approval was mine to explain.

I began in calibration engineering in July 1997 and joined Dazqavi in September 2009. Since January 2022 I have led its technical function. The company employs 410 people and recorded ₹208 crore FY26 revenue. My remit covers sixty-eight research and engineering colleagues through five heads, ₹14.6 crore FY2026–27 operating expense and a separate ₹6.2 crore approved laboratory-capital programme. CEO Sandeep Lorzethi leads the business; Noor Zemqavi retains the quality function's independent voice. I hold neither a statutory board seat nor personal equity, and our instruments do not give us authority to operate a customer's electrical system.

The other decisions here concern the claims people wanted to draw from a test. Seven hundred and twenty laboratory hours did not become five years of product life by presentation. Capturing a brief disturbance in a defined bench exercise did not establish complete coverage in customer conditions. A component with a familiar nominal rating still needed qualification in the proposed assembly. These are stories about how a technical leader handles a commercial request without making the evidence say more than it does. The narrower conclusion sometimes cost time and money; I have retained both in the account.

Current focus

Making the measurement purpose, test boundary and unresolved result visible in every proposed product claim.

Conversations I welcome

One first board contribution on technical evidence and product responsibility, subject to consent, independence review and adequate preparation.
