01 · What this is

Tap a chip, log the moment

A supertall runs on judgments made on rounds — the facade panel checked, the plant room sound, the fire door sealed, the deck safe. Each key point carries a passive chip. On a round, the technician taps it with the phone in hand and answers one quick thing. Over time the tower accrues a tamper-evident record of how it was kept — the operational memory between formal surveys.

No app. No login. Five seconds. Maintenance follows observed condition, not a calendar alone.

02 · How to tap

Three steps

1
Hold your phone to the chip
Top-back of the phone, on the asset tag. A page opens by itself.
2
Answer the one question
It already knows the asset, floor and system. Tap your answer.
3
Add a note if needed
Only if something's off. Otherwise close it and carry on.

One question, one answer

It logs the asset, the floor, the time, and the answer — attributed to a role, never a named person. The record is of the building, not the staff.

06 · Why we do it

The operations log

Every tap feeds one record the operator reads — across every system, over time:

🏢
Every system, one view
What's sound and what needs attention, floor by floor.
📉
Condition trend
Maintenance by observed state, not a calendar alone.
🧯
Fire & life-safety evidence
Tamper-evident proof rounds were performed, for audit and insurance.
🛗
Vertical-transport uptime
Lift availability and faults, recorded as they happen.
🤝
Handover continuity
The record survives the shift, the contractor, the operator change.

What we're testing this round

Round 1 — keep it lean
  • First round: just the chips above, nothing more.
  • Goal is one clean condition record, not perfect coverage.
  • Tell us what felt clumsy — the next round fixes it.

This panel updates each round — over time it shows what each system taught us.

A word on privacy & scope

The chips log events, never people. No login, no name, no tracking of who tapped what — and no surveillance of residents, guests or staff. In residential and guest areas, only common-area facility events are recorded. The record is about how the building was kept. By design, and it can't be changed.

This is a reference template — the placeholders ([ Building ], domains, cadence) are filled per deployment. For demonstration, not a record of any specific building.
