Product · Rules
The rule is the unit of value.
A piece of expert knowledge written down explicitly, which the system applies and anyone can review.
Declarative and inspectable
Rules are declarative: they state a condition and a conclusion, nothing hidden. Every conclusion traces back to a named rule and an explicit path of relationships.
Rules run against the data, and a similarity engine matches each case with the firm’s previous ones.
Written with your experts
In a pilot, the first fifteen rules are written in two weeks, starting from three questions put to your experts.
Example
One reading, five connected objects.
A vibration above 8.2 mm/s on a class 7F gas turbine generates a finding. That finding is linked to the asset, the site, the engagement and the lender concerned, along with the rule that produced it.

The pilot
Six weeks on a narrow scope of your firm.
The question to answer at the end is simple: is the captured memory worth extending to the rest of the firm?
- Weeks 1–2Write the first fifteen rules, starting from three questions put to your experts.
- Weeks 3–6Apply them to your own engagements.
