Trigger, activity, conclusion

01 · Trigger

A scheduled reporting cycle, an upcoming OAC or board-level meeting, an investor draw-down inspection, or an ad-hoc owner request for a progress update.

02 · Activity

Assembling and delivering a visual progress update — time-lapse video, automated snapshot sequences, live camera access, or curated footage clips — to owners, investors, design team members, or senior management.

03 · Conclusion

The reporting audience has received a clear, visual, credible account of site progress. Reporting obligation discharged and any questions answered visually without requiring a site visit.

Workflow steps

  1. Step 01

    A reporting trigger occurs — a scheduled reporting date arrives, a meeting is approaching, or an owner/investor requests a progress update.

    Inferred
  2. Step 02

    PM or coordinator identifies the reporting audience and the format expected — live access, time-lapse export, snapshot summary, or video presentation.

    Inferred
  3. Step 03

    For time-lapse delivery: the the evidence system time-lapse generation tool produces a compressed video covering the relevant reporting period.

    Evidenced
  4. Step 04

    For live access delivery: view-only credentials or a shared link sent to the owner or investor for real-time or historical footage access at their convenience.

    Evidenced
  5. Step 05

    For meeting presentation: PM opens the evidence system live view or plays a time-lapse during the OAC or board meeting, replacing static PowerPoint photographs.

    Evidenced
  6. Step 06

    For snapshot-based reporting: compare or snapshot tool generates before-and-after paired images at defined milestone intervals, exported as a PDF or image set.

    Inferred
  7. Step 07

    Specific points of interest — structural milestones, concrete pours, topping-out events — highlighted within the footage with annotations or verbal commentary.

    Inferred
  8. Step 08

    Audience questions about progress, sequencing, or site conditions answered directly by reference to footage — avoiding a site visit or additional report.

    Inferred
  9. Step 09

    The reporting artefact (time-lapse video, snapshot set, or access link) shared with the audience post-meeting as a permanent record.

    Inferred
  10. Step 10

    The process repeats on the next reporting cycle, with the time-lapse extending automatically from the last reporting date.

Evidence records

The developer gives the time-lapse to the investor as part of the monthly draw-down reporting package — it shows the lender that the money is being spent and the building is going up.
Anonymized evidence record 3.1
He plays the the evidence system time-lapse at every OAC meeting — it's become a standard agenda item. Clients love it and it saves 20 minutes of verbal progress updates.
Anonymized evidence record 3.2
We gave the owner a view-only login. They stopped calling us every week asking for photo updates. It's just there whenever they want to look.

ROI model

Template A

site visit avoidance

Evercam replaces or reduces physical site visits with remote viewing. The baseline cost is the number of visits × cost per visit. The saving is the proportion of visits that Evercam eliminates.

Formula

saving = visits_per_week × project_duration_weeks × visit_cost × evercam_reduction_pct
