Talk is cheap.
Video is undisputed.
Manual reports, Excel graveyards, and offline tablets are how operations ran in 2015. Stratos evolves your site to video-verified work — every shift, every heading, every cycle captured automatically and traceable back to the footage that proves it.
2015 operations
Your site still runs on talk.
A typical underground shift contains 12–18 delay events. A supervisor recalls 4–6 of them. Operators overstate productive time by 18–25%. The cause is structural: human recall degrades after twelve hours underground — and nothing on the site tests it.
Work assigned verbally
No record that it was received. Status checked by radio — 8 to 12 calls per shift, interrupting both supervisor and operator every time.
3–4 hours walking headings
Supervisors physically walk headings every two to three hours. Between rounds, a 45-minute loader delay at 10:50 is unknown until the 13:00 check.
Hazards announced on the radio
Written on a whiteboard at the portal. Crew underground may never hear it. There is no proof anyone was notified.
Report written from memory
After 12 hours underground, the supervisor writes the end-of-shift report in 45 minutes. It misses most of what happened.
Every one of those steps is a data-capture failure, and every one of them compounds. The decision cycle from site event to executive response is two weeks minimum.
It's time to get serious about accountability.
The way forward
Welcome to the
video-verified work movement.
The sites that evolve will set the new standard for accountability. The ones that don't will explain themselves against footage they never collected.
Video-verified work
The way forward is video-verified work.
Talk is cheap. Video is undeniable. Stratos replaces memory with observation, assembly with generation, and the radio with push — running on observed, verified data with a chain of custody.
Pillar 1
Continuous observation
Traditional mining reporting is a memory exercise. Stratos cameras observe continuously. Nothing is omitted because it was forgotten.
"The camera watches the machine. The record it creates is as likely to be in your favour as against you."
Pillar 2
Every number with proof
Every AI classification links to the video clip that generated it. Every number carries a confidence score. Low-confidence events are flagged for human review.
"Every number comes with a proof of work."
Pillar 3
Evidence both sides trust
Stratos observes independently of the contractor's own reporting. Disputes resolve on data. The data usually exonerates the crew.
"The improvement lives in logistics, equipment wait times, and dispatch gaps."
One sport replaced talk with video. The lessons transfer underground.
Major League Baseball umpires were the most accurate they had ever been in 2025 — and every wrong call stood as final. In 2026, video made every call testable in 14 seconds. Three lessons emerged that map directly onto a mine site.
Most reversed
Most experienced performed the worst
Decades behind the plate without an objective feedback loop produced conviction, not accuracy. When every call became testable, the most senior umpires were overturned most often. Experience without evidence is a liability.
52%
52% of players stopped lying about their height
The moment a listed number carried consequences, 225 of 430 players revised their height downward in a single off-season. No policy was written. Nobody was disciplined. Accountability arrived the instant the record could be tested.
31%
Ejections fell 31%
In 2025, 110 of 174 ejections came from a manager arguing a call face-to-face. In 2026, ejections fell 31%. The dispute moved from the field to the record. This is the lesson mining needs most: the fear of conflict is what lets underperformance hide. Supervisors avoid the hard conversation; contractors defend every delay. When the footage carries the argument, no one has to fight in person — and the truth lands without a fight.
Heavy industry carries higher consequences than any sport — and has no review mechanism at all. Video-verified work closes that gap.

Plan vs actuals, continuously.
Stratos overlays your plan against observed reality in real time. The gap between what was scheduled and what actually happened — visible to the minute, traceable to the footage that proves it. No more waiting for the end-of-shift report to learn the plan slipped at 10:50.

Stratos activates video-verified work — and triggers the paperwork for you.
When the camera sees a cycle complete, a delay start, or a defect, Stratos auto-generates the work order, the form, the report, and the time study — each linked to the footage that proves it. And when your crew enters a work order by hand, Stratos enhances it automatically with timestamps, location, and observed context.
Work orders
A detected cycle completion, delay, or defect opens a work order automatically — linked to the footage.
Forms & reports
Shift closeouts, hazard records, and supervisor roll-ups generated from observed activity, not memory.
Time studies
A continuous, infinite time study runs in the background — every cycle, every heading, automatically.
Worker-entered work orders are enhanced automatically — Stratos attaches the observed timestamp, the location, and the surrounding activity context the moment the crew hits submit.
Who it's for
Stratos serves the entire org chart —
from the operator at the face to the client's board.
An independent, timestamped record of contractor performance against KPIs. No information asymmetry. Performance disputes resolved on data. KPI scorecards benchmarked against anonymised industry data.
A client-facing live dashboard with no information asymmetry. KPI performance tracked against contract terms continuously. Underperformance surfaces in real time. The single strongest argument for mandating Stratos across your contractors.
Every delay captured with a timestamp accurate to 60 seconds and AI-classified into 25+ sub-categories. True availability and utilisation calculated automatically. Recurring root causes surfaced — the same delay stops recurring.
Cycle times timed to the minute from actual observation. The bottleneck located at the activity level. Mine plan targets updated with verified actual data, replacing guesswork with confidence intervals.
Stratos is a protection mechanism for the crew. When delays happen, the data shows whether the cause was mine-side or contractor-side. Disputes get resolved on evidence. The data defends your crew far more often than it criticises them.
