RemoteQA explained: facility, workgroup, workstation, display
The four-level hierarchy that lets one team run QA across hundreds or thousands of displays.
Display QA at one workstation is straightforward. Display QA at scale needs structure. RemoteQA uses a four-level hierarchy that mirrors how organizations actually work.
The four levels
- Facility — a physical site. A hospital, an imaging center, an analyst building.
- Workgroup — a logical team within a facility. Radiology, mammography, GEOINT analyst pool, post-production suite.
- Workstation — a single seat. One desk, one or more displays, one operator role.
- Display — an individual screen with a unique serial.
Why the structure matters
Policy lives at the level it should. Mammography needs higher luminance targets than general radiology — that is a workgroup policy, not a facility policy. Air-gapped briefing rooms need different scheduling than internet-facing analyst pools — that is also workgroup-level. Each layer overrides the layer above without losing the inheritance.
