FAQ

What the twin can do, what it needs and where confidence stops.

Clear product boundaries matter. A visually realistic scene is not automatically a calibrated engineering model.

What is an operational digital twin?

A digital representation of an operation that links its layout, resources, work, rules and performance. Oakhampton uses it to replay flow, identify constraints and compare proposed changes. A connected twin may also refresh from operational systems.

How is this different from a dashboard or 3D model?

A dashboard reports data and a 3D model shows geometry. An operational twin adds repeatable event and decision logic: work moves, resources become constrained and alternative interventions can be compared against the same baseline.

Can we use our own floor plan, mine plan, CAD or BIM?

Yes. The platform accepts customer floor plans and can progressively use CAD, BIM, GIS, site plans, aerial imagery and photos. Inputs are reviewed for scale, orientation, uncertain features and model relevance before they drive a paid decision output.

What operating data is useful?

Order or job history, shift and roster data, cycle times, asset availability, maintenance records, queues, timestamps, WMS or ERP exports, telemetry, alarms, fleet records and cost assumptions. We begin with the smallest set that can change the decision.

Can we start without perfect data?

Yes, as a directional model. Missing values are explicit assumptions with confidence labels. The first run should reveal which measurement or export is worth obtaining next. Unsupported certainty is not presented as fact.

How accurate are the results?

Accuracy depends on the decision, model boundary and calibration evidence. Demo scenarios are synthetic. A Your-Site Preview supports automated directional screening. A Decision Snapshot adds bounded human review. Calibrated pilots use customer evidence and validation tests. Engineering, safety or statutory decisions still require appropriately qualified specialists.

Does the AI invent the model or results?

AI helps interpret natural-language inputs, identify missing questions and explain stored evidence. Simulation outputs come from sector-specific deterministic workers and recorded assumptions. The visual and narrative layers must not create unsupported numerical claims.

Which industries are supported?

Flagship lanes are mining, manufacturing, warehousing, cold chain, ports and yards, water and utilities, infrastructure and agri-processing. Repair, clinic and service-flow scenarios are available where their evidence and privacy boundaries are appropriate.

Can scenarios be saved, shared and exported?

Yes. Environments and scenario runs can be saved, compared and shared as decision files. Production scopes add organisation access, retention settings, monitoring and agreed integration controls.

Where is customer data stored?

The current platform uses an Australian-region object-storage lane for authorised customer geometry and a controlled application environment. Some infrastructure and service providers may process data in Australia, Singapore or the United States. The project scope identifies the actual providers, locations and retention rules.

Do you force a subscription?

No. The Preview, Snapshot and Calibrated Pilot are fixed-scope purchases. Connected twins can be handed over with an agreed operating model. Optional monthly support is available but is not required for the first three lanes.

What is included in the AUD 149 Your-Site Preview?

One facility, one clearly framed operating question, one PDF/image/CSV/XLSX source, an automated baseline, bottleneck trace and up to three directional interventions. The first preview is targeted within one business day. It is not human-reviewed engineering work.

What does the Decision Snapshot add?

The AUD 495 + GST Snapshot adds human review of geometry, assumptions and outputs, a decision evidence pack, a short narrated walkthrough, one clarification and one revision. It is typically delivered within three business days.

Are the Preview and Snapshot fees credited forward?

Yes. The Preview is credited to a Decision Snapshot or Calibrated Pilot, and the Snapshot is credited to a Calibrated Pilot, when the customer proceeds within 60 days. Credits are not cash redeemable.

How are uploads and card details handled?

Public intake files are private and scheduled for deletion after 90 days unless they become part of an agreed engagement or must be retained for a lawful purpose. Stripe handles card details; Oakhampton retains only the transaction reference and status needed to administer the order.

What is excluded from the listed price?

Physical site capture, laser scanning, specialist engineering certification, substantial data remediation, travel, third-party licences, bespoke enterprise connectors and material scope changes. These are identified before commencement.

Can Oakhampton work outside Australia?

Yes. Delivery can be remote and multilingual. Local law, engineering, privacy, data-residency and professional-advice requirements are addressed in the project scope.
