Business workflow and operating scope

Connect drill intervals, sample batches, laboratory custody, assay reconciliation and reviewed release of exploration data. An assay result is useful only when it can be traced to the correct sample and reviewed against quality checks. The system follows sample identity and custody through dispatch, laboratory receipt and reconciliation, preserving exceptions before data is released for geological interpretation.

Operational visibility

  • Samples with complete verified assay records
  • Records requiring review
  • Version and approval status
  • Evidence completeness
  • Access / retention audit

The end-to-end business journey.

From intake to authorised completion, with evidence at each decision.

01

Register sample identity

Register drill intervals and approved sample batches.

02

Track laboratory custody

Track dispatch and laboratory custody.

03

Reconcile assay records

Reconcile assay results and quality checks.

04

Release reviewed data

Release reviewed data to geological interpretation.

Governance and control

  • Approved records must be version-controlled and immutable except through controlled supersession.
  • Access must follow classification and role permissions.
  • Required evidence must be traceable to source, owner and date.
  • Retention and disposal actions require policy-based controls.
  • Critical changes require review, approval and preserved history.

Systems and interfaces

  • Sample identifier systems
  • Laboratory interfaces
  • Approved geological data repositories

Interface scope, data mapping and testing are agreed for each engagement.

Implementation requirements
Sample identifiers; laboratory interfaces; qualified geological and analytical quality review.

Mobile and tablet access

Capture sample identifiers and custody events in field views. Offline requirements need separate validation.

Access approved workflows through the Dalfin mobile app. Device tasks and permissions are confirmed for the deployment.

AI extensions

Core workflows and approval rules are defined with your business owners. Operational AI can be assessed separately against a specific business outcome and review requirements.

AI extensions are scoped around the required data, business outcome and review controls.

Engineered with Genesis.

Structured application engineering

Connect requirements, roles, records, workflows and interfaces through the agreed Genesis engineering process.

Controlled changes

Review dependency impact and validation requirements. Context Memory supports governed changes and accepted application revisions.

Deployment and support

Agree customer cloud or on-premises requirements, device access, implementation acceptance and ongoing engineering support.

An example operating scenario

See the process, its exception and the evidence.

A sample batch is dispatched to a laboratory. An identifier mismatch is raised during reconciliation and corrected with custody evidence. The quality reviewer records the checks before the authorised data release, retaining the original exception and resolution.

What to review

  • A saved end-to-end transaction
  • An exception and its authorised resolution
  • Different operator, approver and reviewer permissions
  • Final records, history and the relevant report

Questions before implementation.

How is this system adapted to our organisation?

Roles, approval authority, business rules, records and reporting are configured around your operating model. Scope definition connects the required business outcome to workflows, interfaces and acceptance criteria.

How are approvals and responsibilities defined?

Operators, reviewers and authorised decision makers have defined responsibilities. Approval limits, exception handling and access permissions are agreed with your business owners and tested against the selected workflows.

Can it connect with our existing systems?

Interface requirements cover your existing business systems, data ownership, mapping and authentication. Connection design and testing form part of the agreed implementation scope.

What will we review in a solution walkthrough?

Start with a relevant business transaction, then review its approvals, an exception, role permissions and final records. Discuss the integrations, reporting and operating requirements that matter to your organisation.
