INSTITUTIONAL MEMORY FOR PHYSICAL WORK
Your company knows more than it has written down.
Worktraces captures how work is actually performed and turns it into private, reusable institutional knowledge.
Local processing. Customer-controlled knowledge. No custody of your operational data.

A system for turning work into memory.
Capture the work once. Use it immediately. Preserve the source for what comes next. Hardware brings Worktraces into the workflow; the software and archive compound over time.
01 / HARDWARE · CAPTURE
Wearable capture
Lightweight cameras record real workflows where they happen, without requiring employees to stop working and manually document every step.
02 / HARDWARE · WORKTRACES NODE
Private local processing
Footage is transferred to customer-controlled compute and storage for ingestion, AI processing, and retention.
03 / SOFTWARE · VERIFY
Verified procedures
AI generates draft SOPs linked to source evidence. Workers correct what the model missed and supervisors can approve the final procedure.
04 / SOFTWARE · ARCHIVE
Operational archive
Preserve the underlying record of how work was actually performed, not only the document produced from it.
From real work to a verified record.
01 / CAPTURE
Capture real work as it happens.
An employee wears a lightweight camera while completing an ordinary workflow. The task can be highly specialized or completely mundane, from repairing industrial equipment to closing a grocery register.
02 / PROCESS LOCALLY
Keep sensitive operational data inside your environment.
Recorded footage moves to a Worktraces Node for local ingestion, storage, transcription, and multimodal AI processing.
03 / GENERATE
Turn observation into a procedure.
Worktraces identifies the workflow, breaks it into steps, and generates a draft SOP. Each instruction remains linked to the source video that produced it.
04 / PRESERVE
Keep the knowledge after the employee leaves.
The approved SOP is useful immediately. The original workflow remains available as part of a private operational archive that can be analyzed again as AI models improve.
BUILT FOR THE WORK ITSELF
Where expertise lives in the doing.
The workflow does not need to be rare or sophisticated to be worth preserving.
SELECTED WORKFLOW
Handling an unusual return
Frontline employees learn hundreds of small exceptions and routines that rarely make it into formal documentation.

KNOWLEDGE CONTINUITY / SYSTEM VISION
See what your company only knows because one person knows it.
Worktraces can help companies identify workflows that depend on a small number of experienced employees before turnover turns institutional knowledge into an operational problem. Documentation becomes a second reason to capture, beyond the SOP itself.

KNOWLEDGE THAT COMPOUNDS
An SOP is useful today. The underlying workflow archive may be far more valuable tomorrow.
People change roles. Teams grow. Processes evolve. AI models improve. A document preserves instructions. A workflow archive preserves the original context.

Future machine execution
Illustrative future applications, not current features. Worktraces is model-agnostic: as better models arrive, they can be run against the archive you already own.
START SMALL / INTENDED PRODUCT LADDER
Five cameras can prove the idea.
The same Worktraces architecture should scale from a small design-partner deployment to a distributed enterprise capture fleet. Storage and compute expand with the amount of work being captured.
EARLY DESIGN PARTNERS
Preserve how your company actually works.
Worktraces is currently in development. We are looking for a small number of early design partners with physical workflows where employee knowledge is valuable, difficult to document, or vulnerable to turnover.
