Leading & Lagging Indicators, AI, and Psychological Safety
The Incentive Trap: When “Zero Harm” Becomes Less Reporting The oil and gas industry has spent decades refining its safety metrics, distinguishing between lagging indicators like Lost Time Injuries (LTI), Medical Treatment Cases (MTC), and Fatality and Catastrophic events (FAC) that measure what already went wrong, and leading indicators like UCUA cards and near-miss reports […]
Why RAG, Semantic Search, and LLMs Struggle in Engineering Work—and the Case for Hybrid Approaches
In the ever-evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), semantic search, and large language models (LLMs) have emerged as powerful tools for processing and retrieving information. While these technologies have proven their worth in a wide range of industries, they face unique challenges when applied to engineering work. This is largely due to […]
