Grady's Gradations

Web inspection platform for Grady Inspection

Field beta — web build

Mithril Consulting is building Grady's Gradations as a web server for Grady Inspection. After a LiDAR job is ingested, the platform runs deterministic calculations and produces inspector-ready pictures: weld topology, peaking, banding, bottom breakover, settlement screening, and more. Operators review the job, then decide what a client sees through a controlled portal — including invitations and an interactive 3D viewer of the inspection results.

These screens and the recording are from the current field-beta web build. They show real jobs, real calculations, and real client-facing output.

The Operational Problem

  • — Tank inspection work depends on specialized calculations that do not fit generic software
  • — LiDAR scans are large, and the office still needs repeatable, auditable results
  • — Client reports need clear pictures and a controlled view of findings — not a raw point cloud

The Mithril Approach

  • — Ingest the LiDAR job on a shared web platform
  • — Run deterministic calculation modules after upload
  • — Keep human review in the loop before anything is published
  • — Generate inspector-grade figures and a downloadable report pack
  • — Let the operator decide what the client sees, including invitations to a portal

Current Stage

The product is now a web server build in field beta. LiDAR jobs run through a staged pipeline: ingest, vessel axis and tilt, Annex B settlement, floor DEM and breakover, shell peaking and banding, roof screening, then PDF/ZIP pack and interactive 3D.

What the Platform Does

  • LiDAR job ingestion

    Upload a scan, queue the job, and track each calculation step on the web platform.

  • Deterministic inspection math

    Weld topology, peaking, banding, bottom breakover, settlement screening, and related modules stay explainable and auditable.

  • Client-facing pictures

    Heat maps, board figures, and 3D views are generated as inspector-controlled evidence — not marketing mockups.

  • Interactive 3D viewer

    Review the measured cloud with inspection results overlaid: floor deviation, shell findings, and related layers.

  • Client portal

    The operator chooses what the client sees, sends invitations, and can share a controlled results view.
