Cannabis Operations Consulting · METRC Compliance
METRC system audits, inventory reconciliation, and compliance documentation for licensed California operations — from people who've run cultivation and processing floors themselves.
The Compliance Reality
Small tracking gaps compound quietly for months — until an audit, a license renewal, or a buyer's due diligence makes them everyone's problem.
METRC complexity outpaces the team
Tag lifecycles, package conversions, transfer manifests, waste events — every step is a chance for the system of record to drift from reality.
Manual tracking breeds silent errors
Spreadsheets and memory fill the gaps METRC entries miss. Every manual bridge is a discrepancy waiting to be discovered by someone else.
Audit pressure arrives without warning
Regulators don't schedule around harvest. When the request comes, you have days — not months — to produce records that reconcile.
No live picture of your own inventory
When the books, the vault, and METRC each tell a different story, every business decision is built on a number somebody hopes is right.
Our Methodology
We review your METRC account against physical reality: tag inventories, package states, transfer history, and waste logs — and map exactly where the record diverges.
Physical counts, room by room, reconciled line-by-line against the system. Discrepancies get identified, explained, and resolved — not buried.
The paper trail regulators expect: SOPs, corrective records, waste documentation, and reconciliation reports — organized so answers arrive before questions.
The habits and controls that keep you clean after we leave: tagging discipline, count cadences, and role clarity — practical fixes, not binders of theory.

Why Cultiva
METRC fluency from the operator's chair
We've managed track-and-trace inside real facilities — not from a webinar. We know where entries go wrong because we've fixed them at 6 a.m. before an inspection.
Operational integrity, documented
Reconciliation isn't just matching numbers — it's building a record that explains itself to a regulator, a lender, or a buyer without you in the room.
Speed without shortcuts
Typical engagements run 5–7 days from kickoff to deliverable. Fast enough to beat a deadline, thorough enough to survive one.
Questions
A full review of your METRC account against physical inventory: tags, packages, transfers, and waste logs. You receive a reconciliation report, documented findings, and a corrective action plan — typically within 5–7 days.
Yes — backlog cleanup is one of the most common reasons operators call us. We reconstruct the record accurately and document the correction trail properly, which matters as much as the fix itself.
Absolutely. We slot in alongside your existing compliance resources — we do the field-heavy reconciliation and documentation work, and hand your team a clean record to maintain.
We document what we find, explain the likely cause, and lay out resolution options. Discrepancies handled proactively and documented honestly are a very different conversation with a regulator than ones discovered by an inspector.
No — we provide operational and documentation services. For legal questions we work alongside your counsel, and our organized records make their job faster and cheaper.
Yes. Operational recommendations are part of every engagement, and for trim operations we offer dedicated on-site Mobius M108S crew training that builds the daily discipline compliance depends on.
