Mining & resources
A mine has a tailings facility under GISTM scrutiny, a comminution circuit whose downtime costs six figures an hour, and a life-of-mine horizon that makes half the standard renewal logic wrong.
Who this is for
Three people, one budget argument
Reliability engineer
Owns the plan and answers for it. Everything on screen is built to make that week easier.
Tailings engineer of record
Holds the budget line and carries the valuation. Cares about defensibility before features.
General manager, operations
Signs, and is the one asked the awkward question in public. Needs one page, not a tour.
Asset classes
What AIPP scores in this industry
Configured for this industry out of the box: condition on the IIMM_1_5 scale, the MINING weighting profile, budget shown as Sustaining capital, capped at life-of-mine, and the instruments it answers to (GISTM, ANCOLD, ICOLD, NORSOK_Z008, ISO14224) named on every score. All of it is yours to change — the weights are sliders, not our opinion.
The honest bit
6 of 30 assets will not score
That is the demo register for this industry, and the gaps are deliberate. AIPP refuses to rank an asset the evidence does not support — it will not apply a curve, a zero or a middle grade to a thing nobody has inspected. 20% of this register comes back unranked, with the reason named.
6 of 30 assets carry NO condition evidence and NO age. That is deliberate. A demo register where everything scores teaches a prospect nothing about what happens to the two-thirds of their own register that will not — and it is exactly where most tools quietly invent a zero. Open the demo on these.
How it runs
From export to defensible programme
Tailings load with their consequence classification; fixed plant loads with operating hours and breakdown history.
Safety and licence-to-operate outweigh service — a tailings failure is not a service event.
Life-of-mine caps the horizon: an asset with eight years of mine left is not renewed on a thirty-year cycle.
Sustaining capital constrains the programme; the optimiser respects the shutdown calendar.
The pack separates statutory obligations from discretionary spend, because they are not the same argument.

The screens that matter here
Fair questions
What this industry actually asks us
Does this replace our EAM?
No. It reads from it. AIPP is the investment decision layer; the EAM stays the system of record for work.
Our criticality is already assessed under NORSOK Z-008.
Then use it — Z-008 ships as a criteria pack and your existing classification loads straight in as consequence.
Can it do FMECA?
No, and that is written into the standards registry as a declared gap. AIPP reasons about assets and controls, not failure modes.
Run it on your own worst class
Bring one export — the class with the missing condition data and the costs from 2019. If AIPP tells you the truth about it in twenty minutes, that is worth a conversation. If it scores everything and looks clean, tell us so.
