California · Diagnostic

Score your California cannabis stack.

Against the seven realities the DCC's active rulemakings keep reshaping. Seven questions, a few minutes. Answer honestly; the point is to find out where your stack handles California natively and where you are chasing paper.

Reality 01 · Tax stacking

Can your stack calculate the 15% state excise plus each jurisdiction's municipal tax at product configuration?

Reality 02 · Distributor tier

Is the California distributor middle-tier (transfers, approvals, manifests) built into your product movement?

Reality 03 · Metrc

Is Metrc reconciled from your own ledger, or is your inventory logic built on top of Metrc?

Reality 04 · Type 9 delivery

Does your system enforce Type 9 rules automatically: direct-employ drivers, the $5,000 per-vehicle cap, and restricted-address checks?

Reality 05 · Dual-authorization

Do your records track both the state DCC license and the local jurisdiction authorization, with expiry alerts on each?

Reality 06 · Social equity

Do your records carry per-municipality social equity classifications and reporting, not a single flag?

Reality 07 · Adapting to rule changes

When DCC changes a rule (pesticide levels, transfer approvals, COA on request), is that a configuration update or a development project for you?

This diagnostic is a self-assessment, not legal advice or a formal compliance audit. It reflects where your commerce and records stack sits against California's current rules, not whether your facility or process meets every requirement.
