NIMBUSASSET HEALTH INTELLIGENCE
HOW WE ENGAGE

De-risked engineering stages. Evidence before investment.

Every phase is bounded, produces standalone technical deliverables, and ends with a clear go/no-go decision. NIMBUS never asks customers to fund a large rollout before problem severity and failure signals are proven.

Free 20-minute discovery call → optional Discovery → Asset Health Assessment → Pilot → Continuous Monitoring
THE ENGAGEMENT MODEL

Each stage has a clear job.

The sequence reduces uncertainty progressively: first about problem severity, then about signal quality, then about operational ROI.

0120 min + optional 2 weeks

Discovery

Start with a free 20-minute discovery conversation. A paid two-week Discovery is used only when scope, evidence or access are not yet mature enough for Assessment.

  • Free 20-minute discovery call
  • Operating problem and pain
  • Critical asset orientation
  • Optional paid Discovery if needed
036–8 weeks

Pilot

Validate a bounded monitoring workflow on a small asset set, with success criteria agreed before deployment.

  • 3–5 candidate assets
  • Baseline & alert logic
  • Weekly evidence review
  • ROI / scale recommendation
04Ongoing

Continuous Monitoring

Scale only after the pilot demonstrates useful evidence in the customer’s own operating context.

  • Ongoing condition monitoring
  • Alert refinement
  • Trend reporting
  • Evidence-led expansion
THE CORE 4-WEEK ASSESSMENT

What the work actually looks like.

The Asset Health Assessment is structured to leave engineering teams with valuable technical assets even if no pilot follows.

WEEK 01

Scope & evidence

  • Confirm sponsor and technical owner
  • Create critical-asset register
  • Review recent failures and downtime
  • Select candidate assets
  • Agree data and site access
WEEK 02

Baseline & failure modes

  • Walk down selected assets
  • Map dominant failure modes
  • Review existing sensors and tags
  • Capture feasible baseline measurements
  • Rank instrumentation gaps
WEEK 03

Analysis & prioritisation

  • Establish baseline envelopes
  • Correlate signals with known events
  • Rank consequence × likelihood × detectability
  • Define candidate alert logic
  • Estimate pilot effort
WEEK 04

Decision pack

  • Deliver asset-health risk register
  • Present findings and limitations
  • Recommend pilot asset set
  • Define pilot success metrics
  • Provide scoped pilot proposal
COMMERCIAL STRUCTURE

Indicative baseline fees.

The initial 20-minute discovery conversation has no charge. Baseline fees pre-qualify initial scope, while final proposals account for asset count, site complexity and data access.

FIRST STEP

Discovery Call

A focused founder-led conversation to test whether there is a real asset-health problem worth scoping.

No charge20 minutes · Free
  • One critical asset or failure
  • Pain and consequence
  • Available evidence
  • Clear next-step decision
SCOPE & ALIGN

Paid Discovery

A short 2-week engagement when scope, asset access, or data maturity are not yet ready for Assessment.

R28,0002 weeks · Fixed indicative
  • Critical asset orientation
  • Data & sensor gap review
  • Scope & site access agreement
  • Assessment proposal
VALIDATE

Pilot

A bounded six-to-eight-week validation on a small, agreed asset set.

R105,0006–8 weeks · Fixed indicative
  • 3–5 assets
  • Monitoring workflow
  • Weekly evidence reviews
  • ROI & scale case
Optional paid Discovery: when the problem, data or site scope is too immature for a four-week Assessment, NIMBUS can first scope a short two-week Discovery. Every paid engagement receives its own proposal and price.
DATA SECURITY & OPERATIONAL GOVERNANCE

Zero IT friction. Complete data privacy.

We evaluate machine health without requiring direct access to plant networks or sensitive production recipes.

AIR-GAPPED ANALYSIS

No corporate firewall access required

Initial assessments rely on static CSV exports, Historian snapshots, or offline sensor captures. We never demand permanent inbound firewall ports or IT network integration during early stages.

DATA SCRUBBING

Proprietary recipe protection

All dataset ingestions strip batch numbers, chemical formulas, and proprietary product names on-site before analysis. Only physical machine variables (vibration, current, temperature, pressure) are processed.

ENCRYPTED CLOUD PIPELINES

Isolated containers & zero shared weights

Live telemetry during pilots is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256) inside containerized microservices. Your plant data is never aggregated or used to train external models.

DATA OWNERSHIP

Full client ownership of model findings

All asset-health risk registers, baseline envelopes, and failure mode calibrations delivered are your property. If an engagement stops, temporary staging files are purged upon request.

FOUNDER & TECHNICAL LEADERSHIP

START WITH ONE REAL QUESTION

Which asset would hurt if it failed tomorrow?

Bring one critical machine, a recent failure, or a maintenance problem. In a free 20-minute discovery conversation, we will work out whether there is enough pain and evidence to justify an Assessment — or whether a short paid Discovery should come first.
