Why Manual Grid Inspections Still Miss Failure Risks

The inspection passed and the line still failed. The three gaps - coverage, latency, record - that let a defect become an outage, with the numbers behind each.

Ten Months in the Field: From a Cardboard-Box Prototype to a Production Capture Unit

Field log: how a camera on a cardboard box became a roof-mounted unit capturing 1,000+ poles a day - and why association, not capture, was the hard part.
