Methodology

Standardized capture requirements, condition taxonomy, confidence scoring, and portfolio reporting outputs for infrastructure condition intelligence.

Standardized Capture Requirements

Milewire defines and enforces standardized visual evidence capture requirements to ensure consistency across vendors, regions, and asset types. This standardization enables portfolio comparability and reliable condition intelligence.

Key Components

  • Required viewpoints: Specified camera angles, positions, and coverage areas for consistent evidence collection
  • Metadata requirements: Standardized metadata fields including location, timestamp, asset ID, and capture parameters
  • Coverage rules: Defined coverage requirements ensuring complete visual documentation of asset conditions
  • Quality standards: Image resolution, lighting, and clarity requirements for reliable condition assessment
Condition & Defect Taxonomy

Milewire uses a standardized taxonomy for condition and defect classification based solely on observable visual evidence. This taxonomy enables consistent condition intelligence across portfolios and supports cross-site comparability.

Taxonomy Structure

  • Condition categories: Standardized condition states (e.g., Good, Fair, Poor, Critical) based on observable evidence
  • Defect classification: Specific defect types and severity levels identifiable from visual evidence
  • Observable evidence focus: All classifications based on what can be observed in visual evidence, not engineering evaluations or code interpretation
  • Portfolio consistency: Same taxonomy applied across all sites, vendors, and regions for comparability
Confidence Scoring

Each condition finding receives a confidence score based on the quality and completeness of observable evidence. This scoring helps decision-makers understand the reliability of condition intelligence.

Confidence Levels

  • High: Clear, complete observable evidence supports the condition classification with high certainty
  • Medium: Observable evidence supports the condition classification but may have limitations in clarity or completeness
  • Low: Observable evidence is limited or unclear, making condition classification less certain
  • Unknown: Observable evidence is insufficient or unavailable to make a condition classification
Portfolio Reporting Outputs

Milewire delivers portfolio-ready reporting outputs that enable cross-site comparability, region/vendor variance analysis, and portfolio condition distribution views for infrastructure decision-making.

Output Components

  • Portfolio summary reports: High-level condition distribution and trend analysis across the entire portfolio
  • Cross-site comparability: Normalized condition data enabling comparison across sites, vendors, and regions
  • Region/vendor variance: Analysis of condition patterns and variance across geographic regions and vendor sources
  • Evidence libraries: Portfolio-ready evidence libraries with standardized capture, metadata, and structured datasets
  • Structured datasets: Machine-readable condition intelligence data for integration with portfolio management systems
