Build defensible Bowties and Critical Controls—fast.
Critical Risk AI turns your standards, procedures, and risk registers into clear bowties, measurable Performance Standards, and a verification program your teams can actually run.
Critical control programs are harder than they need to be
Most sites have the right intent, but the tools and processes haven't kept pace. Sound familiar?
Too many controls. Everything is a control, so nothing gets the attention it deserves.
Generic bowties. Copied from elsewhere — not reflecting local site conditions.
Vague standards. "Ensure compliance with procedure" is not a measurable standard.
Admin, not assurance. Checklists get ticked, but nobody knows if controls work.
Scattered evidence. When the regulator asks, pulling it together takes weeks.
Everything you need for a defensible critical control program
Bowtie Builder
Build complete bowties with threats, degraded controls, escalation factors, and recovery pathways. AI-assisted but human-approved.
Critical Control Identification
Rationalise your control set down to what actually matters. Identify critical controls based on effectiveness, independence, and auditability.
Performance Standards Generator
Generate measurable Performance Standards with owner, intent, measure, tolerance, and evidence requirements for every critical control.
Verification Program
Build a verification schedule with frequency, method, pass/fail criteria, and evidence capture. Less admin, more field time.
Gap Detection
Identify missing controls, weak performance standards, and conflicts across your documents before the regulator does.
Export Packs
Audit-ready PDF, Word, and Excel exports with full version history and change trail. Ready for the inspector or the board.
See every capability in action
From scoping to export—watch how Critical Risk AI accelerates each step of your critical control program.
MUE / Top Event Scoping
Rapidly define the Material Unwanted Event and scope boundaries so the bowtie is specific, consistent, and defensible from the start.
Scope from Your Site Documents
Ground the analysis in your site reality by scoping people, equipment, locations, and activities directly from your procedures, standards, and registers.
Editable Bowtie Builder
Build and maintain bowties as living documents—draft fast, edit collaboratively, and keep threats/controls/recovery pathways structured and current.
Global Research Baseline
Pull in global learnings and best-practice references to strengthen control thinking and reduce blind spots before they become audit findings.
Control Quality Check
Automatically flag vague or non-verifiable controls and suggest improvements so your control set is testable and assurance-ready.
Critical Control Assessment
Rationalise 'too many controls' by assessing effectiveness, independence, and auditability—so teams focus on what truly prevents the MUE.
Critical Control Sign-off & Governance
Capture decisions, assumptions, and approvals with a clean governance trail—then lock a baseline for consistent rollout and audit defensibility.
Performance Standards & Verification Authoring
Generate measurable performance requirements (owner, intent, measure, tolerance, evidence) and verification logic teams can actually run.
Export Verification Packs
Export audit-ready packs (PDF/Word/Excel) so standards and verification programs can be deployed quickly without rework or reformatting.
Action Take
Inbuilt action taker enables users to capture page specific actions that can be reported at the sign off doc of an MUE or at project level.
Normalize
If there is a critical control already finalised at another MUE, normalise function reviews all and matches if a new control is the same as another control created in a separate MUE.
Critical control export
Users can export all verification steps of all critical controls in one spreadsheet under the project.
From documents to defensible controls in four steps
Upload your documents
Standards, SOPs, PHMPs, risk registers, OEM manuals. We accept PDF, Word, and Excel.
Select your MUE / Top Event
Choose from our mining-specific library or create your own Material Unwanted Event.
AI drafts your bowtie
AI generates a complete bowtie, control set, and Performance Standards. Cited from your documents.
Review, approve, export
Your team reviews every element. Approve, adjust, or reject. Then export and deploy.
Faster bowties, stronger programs
Reduce the time to first bowtie draft from weeks of manual work to hours with AI assistance.
Every bowtie follows a consistent structure with cited sources, making your program auditable and regulator-ready.
Automated verification scheduling means your team spends less time on spreadsheets and more time in the field.
Actual results depend on site complexity and document quality.
Trusted by teams across mining and heavy industry
"We went from a 40-page risk register nobody read to a clear bowtie with 12 critical controls our crews actually understand."
"The Performance Standards generator saved our team months. The standards are measurable, specific, and the regulators loved the format."
"Finally, a verification program that doesn't just live in a spreadsheet. Our supervisors can see exactly what to check and when."
