Born from decades of Quality expertise in aerospace manufacturing
Meritus was created by Brent Porter to solve a critical challenge in aerospace manufacturing: navigating the complex and demanding Quality certification process.
After spending over 30 years in aerospace and defense manufacturing, including extensive work with Quality compliance at companies like BAE Systems, Special Devices Inc., and Talley Defense Systems, Brent Porter recognized a universal truth: Quality certification is unnecessarily difficult and expensive for most organizations.
Meritus changes that. By combining deep Quality knowledge with intelligent automation, we've created a platform that transforms months of confusion into a clear, manageable path to certification.
Through years of implementing Quality across multiple organizations, Brent identified the key pain points that make certification so difficult:

"I've been through AS9100 certification more times than I can count. I've seen companies spend millions and still fail their audits. I've watched small suppliers get shut out of aerospace contracts because certification was too expensive. Meritus exists to democratize Quality compliance."
