The Decent platform organizes workplace operations into a clear, structured life-cycle.
This structure ensures that every inspection, observation, and compliance action is:

• Properly scoped
• Fully traceable
• Tied to the correct client, site, and asset

At the core of Decent is a simple but powerful hierarchy:

Project → Site → Asset → Activity

This model provides consistency, accountability, and verifiable records across all operations.

1. Project Creation

A Project represents the main organizational unit under management or inspection.

You can think of a Project as a digital workspace that groups everything related to a specific client, organization, or engagement.

Each Project includes:

• Project Name
  Example: Ministry of Health
• Responsible Person
  The project owner or lead accountable for oversight
• Assigned Team Members
  Users who will plan, execute, and review activities within the project

All Sites, Assets, and Activities are created within the context of a Project, ensuring clean separation between different clients or engagements.

2. Sites

A Project can contain one or more Sites.

A Site represents a physical location where workplace activities (e.g., Health & Safety Inspections, audits) are carried out.

Examples of Sites:

• General Hospital
• Institute of Genetics
• Manufacturing Facility
• Construction Site

Sites allow organizations to manage inspections and compliance activities across multiple locations under the same Project.

3. Assets

Within each Site, Assets are defined.

An Asset is the specific focal point of inspection, observation, or monitoring.
It can be physical, technical, or procedural.

Examples of Assets:

• Fire Extinguisher
• Surgical Room Ventilation System
• Electrical Panel
• Waste Management Policy

Asset Identification

Each Asset is:

• Registered within a specific Site
• Assigned a unique digital identifier
• Linked to a QR Code (or RFID, where applicable)

Scanning the QR Code provides instant access to the Asset’s activities.

4. Activities

Activities define what needs to be done for an Asset.

An Activity represents a structured action such as:

• Inspection
• Observation
• Recording
• Monitoring

Activities are created using Templates via the Template Manager, ensuring consistency and compliance.

Example:

• Asset: Fire Extinguisher
• Activity: Fire Extinguisher Inspection Checklist

Activities can be:

• Ad-hoc or recurring
• Scheduled via the calendar
• Executed via web or mobile devices

5. Execution & Tracking

During execution:

• Team members scan the Asset’s QR code
• The system displays the linked Activities
• Activities are completed digitally using structured checklists or reports etc.

Once submitted:

• Results are securely stored
• Actions become traceable and auditable
• Accountability is clearly established

This process eliminates paperwork while ensuring reliable, tamper-resistant records (via Blockchain attestations).

Hierarchical Model Summary

The Decent life-cycle follows this clear structure:

• Project – The client or organizational entity
  Example: Ministry of Health
• Site – A physical location under the Project
  Example: General Hospital
• Asset – The item or process being inspected
  Example: Fire Extinguisher
• Activity – The action performed on the Asset
  Example: Inspection checklist

Each level builds on the previous one, ensuring that every action is contextual, verifiable, and properly linked.

Why This Matters

This structured life-cycle enables organizations to:

• Maintain full traceability from client to inspection result
• Ensure consistent execution of workplace procedures
• Support audits, reporting, and compliance requirements
• Build long-term, verifiable operational history
