One capital project, one record, from concept to the running asset
A capital project on the floor, a line upgrade or a new machine, lives in a spreadsheet and an email thread, and every gate re-keys the last one's numbers. We make it one record from concept to the running asset, with the projected return live on every read and approvals that escalate when an approver is out instead of restarting.
A spreadsheet and an email thread lose the project between gates
A capital project on the floor starts as a justification: payback, throughput gained, downtime avoided. Those numbers get re-keyed at every gate, and finding the current version means knowing who last touched the file.
An approval that times out because an approver is traveling restarts from the top. And once the project is approved, the thread breaks. The return it was justified on sits in a spreadsheet nobody reopens, so no one checks whether the asset delivered it.
One record carries the project from concept to the asset on the floor
We make one project a single record: concept, justification, approval, PO, install, commissioning, and the running asset all read from the same place. No stage re-keys the last, and nothing gets lost between them.
The projected return stays live on every read instead of being rebuilt in the next spreadsheet. An approval that times out escalates rather than starting over, so a project keeps moving when an approver is away.
The return you justified is still on the record when the asset runs
Because the project and the asset it becomes are one record, the numbers that justified the spend are still there to check against what the asset does once it is running. Role-scoped AI tools sit on top: each one proposes, cites the records behind every number, and never writes on its own, so a person stays on every decision.
