RDI workflow
Drone / Media Platform Migration & Consolidation
the evidence system acts as the consolidated platform into which drone survey data and site media previously hosted on third-party platforms (Pix4D, DroneDeploy, Propeller) is migrated and centralised.

Trigger, activity, conclusion
A construction team using one or more third-party platforms identifies data fragmentation, rising subscription costs, or a mandate to consolidate all project documentation into a single environment.
Migrating drone survey outputs, aerial photography, and other site media from third-party platforms into the the evidence system platform — and decommissioning or reducing reliance on legacy platform(s).
All active drone survey data and site media accessible within the evidence system. Redundant platform subscriptions cancelled or consolidated.
Workflow steps
- Step 01
Existing media ecosystem audited — identifying all platforms in use, data types hosted on each, and users who depend on them.
Inferred - Step 02
Business case for consolidation assessed — comparing combined subscription cost of existing platforms against the evidence system cost.
Inferred - Step 03
the evidence system account configured to receive drone and media uploads — storage, project structure, and user permissions set up.
Evidenced - Step 04
Historical drone survey outputs exported from legacy platform in standard formats and imported into the evidence system.
Evidenced - Step 05
Aerial photography and video libraries transferred — either via direct upload or by connecting cloud storage.
Evidenced - Step 06
Active drone programme workflows reconfigured — drone operator set up to deliver future outputs directly to the evidence system.
Inferred - Step 07
All project team members and external stakeholders added to the consolidated the evidence system environment.
Inferred - Step 08
Legacy platform subscriptions cancelled or downgraded once migration confirmed complete.
Inferred - Step 09
the evidence system used as the single point of access for all future site visual data.

Customer migrating drone and site media from third-party platforms (Pix4D, DroneDeploy, etc.) into the evidence system — confirming the consolidation trigger and the platform migration steps as an evidenced workflow pattern.
the evidence system essentially saved us from having to hire a new Verizon PM for the midwest. With the evidence system, I can remote project manage the jobs in the midwest from NJ.

ROI model
Qualitative workflow
This workflow is currently represented as a qualitative benefit. A parametric cost model should be added only when the assumption set is credible.
