Built by people who care about the craft.
Marine survey is a profession. It has standards, certifications, and a long history of careful work done by people who show up on the boat. It also has a tooling problem — most of the back-office work still runs on paper clipboards, Word templates, and best wishes.
SurveyOS doesn't replace the surveyor. It replaces the tooling. The judgment, the expertise, the certifications — those stay with the human. The typing, the re-typing, the audit-trail reconstruction, the three-different- formats-for-three-different-audiences — those disappear.
SurveyOS is part of a larger stack.
What marine professionals say.
Voices from our pilot network — working surveyors, mechanics, fleet operators, and yard teams using SurveyOS today.
I've been doing mechanical work on sportfish vessels for twenty years. What SurveyOS gets right is that the same hose weep I find on a 3208T shows up differently on the mechanic's work list, the buyer's pre-purchase report, and the insurance binder. One inspection — three audiences get exactly what they need.
Marine electrical work in Central America means standards from three different jurisdictions meeting on one boat. Being able to attach ABYC E-11 references to a finding without worrying about reproducing copyrighted text is exactly right. The audit trail makes my reports defensible when a claim goes international.
We operate a working fleet. Every vessel sees routine inspection, pre-charter checks, insurance renewals, damage claims. SurveyOS tracks each boat's history longitudinally — not as a pile of PDFs, but as a structured record we can actually query when an insurer asks 'when did you last check that?'
Before SurveyOS we used three different tools: paper clipboards in the field, Word for reports, and email for everything else. Now the inspection IS the record. Clients get their reports same-day. Our insurance carrier asked us to send the audit export on a claim last month — fifteen minutes, done.
What we optimize for.
Defensibility over convenience
When a shortcut would weaken the audit trail, we don't take the shortcut. Every constraint in our schema is there because a surveyor somewhere has been on the stand.
The professional stays the professional
We automate the tooling, not the judgment. AI assistance is a draft that a human approves — never a signature. Your expertise is the product.
Standards-aware, not standards-authoritative
We reference ABYC, NAMS, SAMS, and OEM standards by family + key + your topic note. We never reproduce copyrighted text. The authorities stay authoritative.
Data belongs to the people who created it
Full export at any time. Your audit trail, your evidence, your reports — yours. Portable. Permanent. We're custodians, not owners.
