Software for Real Work
Custom internal tools for businesses that have outgrown spreadsheets, patchwork systems, and repetitive admin.
Mithril Consulting builds practical software and AI-assisted workflows around how the work actually gets done.
Proof of Work
Current Project
Grady's Gradations
For Grady InspectionMithril is field beta testing Grady's Gradations for Grady Inspection: a desktop application for tank settlement survey workflows. The app currently ingests real LiDAR scans, supports the LiDAR cropping step, runs real data crunching on the scan results, and generates Annex B reporting output from the processed data.
These previews are from the field beta testing stage. They show real workflow screens and report output, not marketing mockups.
- Real LiDAR scan ingestion
- LiDAR cropping workflow
- Data processing and station analysis
- Annex B report generation
