Deployment

How is MatterArc deployed?

MatterArc is deployed on a workspace basis under a written agreement with your organization. Each workspace is configured around your organization’s standards, guidance, templates, review criteria, and branding before your team begins working in it.

Can MatterArc be configured to our standards and templates?

Yes. Configuration around your organization is the deployment model, not an add-on. Workspaces are set up with your instructional standards, style and terminology guidance, document templates, and review requirements, and Arc applies them across drafting, review, and export.

Do you offer pilots?

We shape deployments around each team’s needs, and demonstrations are available. If your organization wants to evaluate MatterArc before committing to a full deployment, reach us through the contact page and we will find the arrangement that fits.

Data and Security

Who owns the content we create in MatterArc?

Your organization does. Course materials, uploaded documents, standards, and other workspace content belong to the organization that provides them. Data ownership is described in the Privacy Policy and governed by your organization’s agreement.

Where is our data hosted?

MatterArc data is hosted in the United States, and MatterArc is built and operated from our offices in Texas. Dedicated environment options are available for deployments with specific hosting or isolation requirements, and can be discussed as part of your organization’s agreement.

Is our content used to train AI models?

No. MatterArc does not train AI models on your content. Arc processes workspace content only to produce the responses your team requests, and the AI providers powering those features operate under commercial terms that do not permit your data to be used for model training. Your content stays your content.

How is access to a workspace controlled?

Access is limited to users authorized by your organization. Each workspace carries its own membership, roles, and administrative settings, and workspace administrators manage who can join and what they can do.

Accessibility and Compliance

Who tests MatterArc for Section 508 conformance?

Every member of the MatterArc team is a certified DHS Trusted Tester, qualified to evaluate digital content for Section 508 conformance using the federal government’s standardized test methodology. Conformance review happens throughout development. Read our Accessibility Statement or contact us for current conformance documentation.

Does MatterArc help our training meet Section 508?

Yes, that is one of the platform’s core jobs. The Accessibility Dashboard makes Section 508 review visible across a course, flags issues such as missing alternative text, and supports remediation inside the development workflow rather than as a separate pass at the end. If your organization needs Section 508 review or certification services beyond the platform, Special Project Factor, the team behind MatterArc, provides those services directly.

Can you provide conformance documentation for procurement?

Organizations with formal review obligations can request accessibility conformance documentation through the contact page, including an Accessibility Conformance Report prepared by our DHS-certified Trusted Testers.

What does MatterArc cost?

MatterArc is offered on a subscription basis, with flexible monthly and annual options scoped to the size and needs of your deployment. Because every deployment is configured around the organization, pricing follows a needs assessment. Reach us through the contact page to start one.

What support is included?

Standard support is included with every active workspace. Enhanced and custom support, including specialized training and custom-developed modules or features, can be arranged as part of your organization’s agreement.
