Metriq is an estimate-free flow board. Forecasts come from measured cycle time and Monte Carlo simulation, the board has four fixed columns on purpose, and agents do work under a human-supervised dispatch → artifact → bless loop. Start with Why Metriq is estimate-free.

Explanation

Why Metriq is estimate-freeMetriq forecasts delivery from measured cycle time and Monte Carlo simulation instead of asking you to guess how long work will take. Here is why measured flow is more trustworthy than story points — and why the constraints are the product.
Why four fixed columnsMetriq's board has exactly four columns and you cannot add more. This is a deliberate design choice in service of flow and honest cycle-time data, not a customization feature we forgot to build.
How forecasting replaces estimationMetriq turns your team's throughput — how much work it actually completes — into a probabilistic forecast using Monte Carlo simulation. This explains how that works and what a p85 forecast actually means, in plain language.
