A regulator asks what you did about every defect on this circuit. How long does that take?
Validate is the layer your stack has never had: the link between what you committed to in your mitigation plan, what your inspections actually found, and what got fixed. It sits underneath GIS, work management and risk modelling and feeds them physical ground truth about the assets themselves.
Five stages, one evidence trail
Turning a pile of findings into a record you can defend.
- One linked evidence chain
Defect to inspection to image to mitigation commitment to work order to resolution to before-and-after proof. Every link is traversable. That chain does not exist anywhere else in a utility's stack today.
- Condition at circuit level, not just asset level
Findings roll up so a distribution operations lead can see which circuits carry the least reliable assets, weighted by consequence rather than by count.
- Your plan against your reality
Mitigation plans are public documents with specific commitments. Validate holds those commitments next to your actual inspection coverage and shows where the two have diverged.
- Knows what it does not know
Absence of evidence is treated as a finding. Coverage gaps in high-risk corridors are surfaced deliberately, rather than reading as an absence of problems.
- Sits under the tools you already bought
Risk modelling, vegetation intelligence and mitigation planning platforms all consume asset condition as an input. Validate produces that input instead of competing with them.
- Defensible before and after
Every mitigation dollar can be traced to the condition evidence that justified it and the proof that the work happened. That is the difference between a report and a record.
- MinutesTo answer a three-year defect history question
- CircuitLevel risk and reliability scoring
- EveryFinding traceable to source imagery
The people who get asked to prove it.
- O&M leadership
A defensible answer to any regulator question about asset condition
- Compliance teams
An audit-ready record instead of a scramble across four systems
- Capital planning
Condition evidence to argue for the right spend in the right corridors
Not a dashboard
Dashboards display data. Validate builds a linked evidence chain across systems that do not currently talk to each other.
Not a GIS or BI replacement
GIS stays the system of record. BI can count inspections. Neither can tie spatial context, imagery, defect history and compliance status together in one workflow.
Not an inspection tool
Review, QA and approval live in Vision. Validate is the layer above it.
