FAID Quantum analyses work-rest schedules to estimate relative fatigue exposure. It can help planners compare schedules and investigate patterns when combined with a broader fatigue-risk process. Edition, model outputs and optional time-zone calculations must be specified in procurement.
Built from vendor sources checked ; AI-assisted drafting. Documentation review, not a hands-on test. How pages are made
Roster planners and fatigue specialists comparing work patterns and schedule options. FAID Quantum estimates relative hours-of-work fatigue exposure for an average individual; it does not measure a person's current fatigue, diagnose a condition or certify fitness for duty. FAID and predicted KSS are different models with different sensitivities. Tolerance levels and Green, Yellow or Red conditions are organization-configured; Green is not a universal safe threshold, and a shift colour represents its peak condition rather than the entire shift. Calculations require sufficient prior history, and import, timezone, daylight-saving or roster errors can materially alter results. Use qualified human review and wider fatigue controls, and quote the exact edition, options, staff volumes, support and integration route.

FAID Quantum is InterDynamics fatigue-modelling software offered in desktop, web and other deployment variants. FAID and predicted KSS outputs represent different models with different sensitivities; they should not be treated as individual clinical measurements. InterDynamics FAID Quantum biomathematical fatigue-exposure assessment for hours-of-work schedules, limited to the quoted desktop, web, roster, enterprise, customized or Shared Object Library variant and licensed FAID, KSS or sleep-prediction, time-zone, task-risk and crew-augmentation options. GRAID, HAZAID, consulting diagnostics and other InterDynamics services are separate scopes.

| FAID and KSS outputs | Depends on scope | Model output availability depends on the purchased option; the two models have distinct sensitivities. USD licence and support price listModel warning |
| Time-zone calculations | Depends on scope | Time-zone and crew-augmentation options require explicit edition and configuration confirmation. Product variants and optional outputs |
| Roster comparison | Documented by vendor | The product supports examining work patterns and fatigue tolerance settings; thresholds require organizational interpretation. Product variants and optional outputsAssessment scope |
| Third-party integration | Depends on scope | A separately quoted Shared Object Library is offered for scheduling-software integration. Enterprise and integration variantsUSD licence and support price list |
| Desktop and web trials | Documented by vendor | The free web trial analyses one person/roster for up to seven days of data; the time-limited desktop trial analyses up to three weeks for three people/rosters. Free trial scope |
| Planned-versus-actual schedule comparison | Depends on scope | The official FAQ says FAID Quantum can compare multiple IDs representing people, groups or shift patterns across two work schedules, often planned and actual, and report hours above tolerances plus peak results and distributions. Confirm edition limits, roster alignment, changes and missing shifts, identifier mapping, comparison period, filters and export; a difference in predicted exposure does not establish why actual work differed or whether an individual was impaired. Official FAQ covering models, inputs, imports, history and planned-versus-actual comparison : checked 29 September 2026 |
| Configurable tolerance levels and task-risk bands | Depends on scope | FAID and KSS conditions are calculated relative to configured FAID and KSS Tolerance Levels, with optional Low, Moderate or High Task Risk input when multiple tolerances are used. These are organizational settings, not universal safe-work limits. Define governance, evidence, competent approvers, versioning, exceptions and the response required for each condition; never treat Green as fitness-for-duty clearance.

| Manual, template and spreadsheet roster input | Depends on scope | The FAQ documents direct single or cycle shift entry, predefined shifts and spreadsheet copy-and-paste, with compulsory ID, Start and End plus optional task risk, origin, destination, activity and locations. Roster, Enterprise and customized variants can directly import third-party extracts. Validate locale, date and time parsing, time zones, daylight saving, overnight shifts, duplicates, gaps, identifier privacy, rejected rows and reconciliation to the source roster.

| Condition, peak and distribution reporting | Depends on scope | FAID Quantum reports graphical and tabular results, peak FAID and KSS values, time in Green, Yellow and Red conditions and percentages relative to configured tolerances. The condition guide warns that a shift colour reflects the peak condition reached and does not mean the whole shift remained in that condition. Confirm denominators, rounding, missing data, timezone presentation and retained assumptions before using summaries in management decisions.

| History-dependent fatigue calculation | Depends on scope | InterDynamics states that the fatigue calculation requires one week of prior history; analysing a week therefore requires two weeks of supplied roster activity, and no results are provided for the first history week. Confirm equivalent requirements for the selected model, actual-sleep option, time-zone configuration and edition. Detect truncated imports and do not interpret absent initial output as low exposure.

First listed price: USD 1,663 per single-user Windows Small Business licence, one-time (FAID Score, initial licence including the first year).
Pricing sources checked : Checked against the vendor's published pricing.
The InterDynamics FAID Quantum pricing page has 4 published prices (unit, term, minimum and source).
A Windows desktop application and an internet-connected web service are separately offered. Demonstrate the selected build without a network: launch and licence validation, analysis, prior-history loading, time-zone settings, save and export, expiry warnings, recovery and later update. Do not infer that Enterprise, Shared Object Library or web workflows are offline because a desktop edition exists.
Its schedule models estimate fatigue exposure and predicted sleepiness. They do not replace assessment of the person, work context and other fatigue contributors.
The vendor describes different model sensitivities, including accumulated work hours and disrupted sleep opportunity. Evaluate both within the intended roster context rather than expecting interchangeable scores.
Free web and desktop trials are documented with different analysis limits. Seven days and three weeks describe analysed roster data, not an unrestricted promise about subscription duration.
No. Green means the model output is below an organization-configured tolerance by the documented margin. It is not an individual measurement, medical assessment or work clearance. Consider sleep, health, task, environment and other controls through the organization's fatigue process.
The official FAQ says the fatigue calculation needs one week of history. To analyse one week, supply two weeks; the first is used as history and produces no displayed results. Truncated input should be flagged rather than interpreted as low exposure.
No. InterDynamics states that the shift colour represents the peak condition achieved. Review the minutes and percentage in each condition, configured tolerance, model and full time-series context.
It is an hours-of-work modelling and decision-support tool. A complete program also needs governance, education, reporting, worker responsibilities, contextual risk controls, incident learning and human decisions. Other InterDynamics products and services are separate scopes.
