Field Pilot

This build has one job: help one person create a useful, photographed map of water equipment on one ranch.

The pilot is intentionally local-only. Records and photos stay on the iPhone. Cloud sync, web access, account management, and pipeline trace recording are off while the data boundary is being hardened.

Before you leave

• Charge the iPhone and make sure Waterworks opens.
• Keep enough free storage for the day’s photos.
• Grant Camera and Location access in Settings → Waterworks.
• Do not delete Waterworks during the pilot. Deleting the app removes its records and photos from the iPhone.

Map each piece of equipment

1. Open Capture.
2. Photograph one well, tank, pump, trough, or valve.
3. Check the experimental equipment suggestion. Pick the correct type if it is wrong or unavailable.
4. Give the item a name you will recognize later.
5. Save it, then open Map to check its location.

Photograph the whole piece of equipment when possible. If GPS is inaccurate, wait a moment in an open area and capture it again.

Organize the map

Use Systems to group equipment that works together—for example, “North Pasture” or “House Well.” The useful result is not a perfect database. It is a map another person can understand without walking the ranch with you.

Send useful feedback

From Settings, tap Send Feedback. Include:

• what you were trying to map;
• where the flow slowed you down;
• which equipment suggestions were wrong;
• any missing equipment type;
• whether the saved location looked right on the map.

Do not rely on this pilot as the only record of safety-critical shutoffs or emergency procedures.
