"It's not that the material isn't good. It's the delivery that's the problem. Communication is safety — there cannot be any miscommunication amongst flaggers because that's when people die."
Vice President, Health & Safety
"There's a gap. The internal training is strong. The external subs? Pen and paper. This solves that."
Director of Safety
"3-4 hours of daily briefings are brutal. This would be great. The interaction is good for the guys."
HSE Coordinator
"So much better than clicking through slides. This is what a real toolbox talk should feel like."
Independent H&S Consultant
The Problem

You can prove the briefing happened. You can't prove anyone understood it.

Every safety system on the market tracks that a form was signed. None of them tell you the worker actually understood the hazard. Meanwhile your coordinators are running 3-4 hours of repetitive briefings every morning, your multilingual crews are nodding along to English-only content, and your supervisors aren't logging in to attest to anything.

📋
No proof of comprehension
Current tools confirm the form was opened and signed. They don't confirm the worker standing on your site understood the hazard. When the inspector asks, you have a signature — not evidence.
🌐
Multilingual crews, English-only content
Spanish, Portuguese, French speakers nod through English briefings. In construction, 7.5% of the workforce accounts for 35% of fatalities. Miscommunication isn't an inconvenience — it's the cause.
⚖
Different jurisdictions, one document
Your BC procedure cites OHSR Part 18 and TMM 2020. Your Ontario crews need OTM Book 7 and O. Reg. 213/91. Today that's two separate documents, rewritten by hand, every time something changes.
✏
Supervisors won't attest on time
Due diligence requires the supervisor's sign-off after a worker is trained. Getting area managers to remember to log in once a week is the #1 non-compliance issue most safety teams face.

How It Works

Your document. Your jurisdiction. Their language. Proof in your hand.

You don't rebuild anything. Astutely takes your existing safe job procedures and turns them into interactive pre-shift checks workers complete on their phone — with the right regulatory citations for the province or state they're working in.

You see who's cleared. Supervisors sign off. Inspector gets the audit trail.
Cleared workers show up green on your dashboard before 7 AM. Area managers get a one-tap SMS to attest. Compliance export packages every record — worker, jurisdiction, score, supervisor sign-off, timestamp — in CSV or PDF.

The answer to "who's actually ready for site?"

Every safety leader who sees this screen names it the most valuable feature. It's the first thing they check before the shift starts — and the first thing they show the inspector.

Compounds Over Time

The data compounds. Every shift sharpens the picture.

Every pre-shift check your workers complete builds your safety intelligence — comprehension trends per worker, per crew, per jurisdiction, over weeks not just one shift. The more your crews use it, the sharper the picture you hand the inspector.

Who It's For

Built for safety leaders who are tired of taking
the inspector's call without proof.

Made for

VPs of Health & Safety, Directors, HSE Coordinators

Designed for the person who owns the audit posture.
When a regulator shows up, the documentation has to be airtight. When a worker fails a flagger procedure in a language they don't speak, that's your name on the incident report. Astutely gives you verified comprehension per worker, per shift, per jurisdiction — with supervisor sign-off you don't have to chase.
"Communication is safety. We needed a way to prove they understood, not just that they nodded." — Vice President, Health & Safety
Made for

Training Directors, LMS Owners, Learning & Development Leads

Designed for the person who builds the training platform.
You don't need another tool — you need the verification layer your safety team's been asking for. Astutely plugs into the platform you're building: pre-shift content from procedures you already own, comprehension checks, supervisor sign-off, audit-ready export. Your platform stays — your audit posture improves.
"I don't see this as competition. I see it as the layer my safety team needed." — Training Director
Made for

Crew Supervisors, Area Managers, Site Foremen

Designed for the person who signs off after the shift.
You sign off on training records and you don't have the time. Astutely sends a one-tap SMS the moment your worker clears their pre-shift check — due diligence locked in seven seconds. No app, no login, no Friday backlog waiting on you.
"Don't have to remember to log in once a week anymore — it comes to me." — Area Manager

Why It's Different

Other systems prove a form was signed.
Astutely proves the worker understood the hazard.

Closed-loop comprehension is the difference between "training happened" and "the worker is actually ready for the shift." It's the difference an inspector cares about.

The Current Approach
✕ 3-4 hours of morning toolbox talks
✕ English-only content for multilingual crews
✕ One procedure rewritten by hand per jurisdiction
✕ Supervisors chased weekly to sign off
✕ Audit trail in folders, binders, and email threads
Astutely
✓ 10-minute pre-shift check on the worker's phone
✓ EN, ES, FR, PT — voice AI in the worker's first language
✓ Same source, regenerated per jurisdiction in 45 seconds
✓ Supervisors attest with one SMS tap
✓ Audit-ready CSV or PDF, one click
Industry Is Ready

The gap is open. The friction is low.

Industrial sectors tell us they're ready.

use AI for safety and compliance.
The lowest adoption of any workflow. The space hasn't been claimed. You're early, not late.
84%
describe their data as siloed or hybrid.
Astutely doesn't need centralized data. One PDF in, audit-ready check in 45 seconds. No integration project to start.
5%
say cost is the biggest barrier to AI adoption.
Cost is dead last. The real blockers are internal expertise (32%) and trust (29%) — both solved when you pilot with your own document on a real crew.
Pricing

Predictable. Per-seat. No per-worker tax on your growth.

You pay per coordinator seat, not per worker. Adding a 200-person crew doesn't change the bill. Pilot for one month on a real shift before you commit to anything beyond.
