Example: the flow Wavelength builds from the walkthrough below.

Capture expert knowledge

Record the operator once. The knowledge stays when they retire or move on.

Quality checks on the map

Each inspection is a decision with a pass path and a fail path.

Train new staff faster

Give new hires a map and an SOP, not a binder.

From the conversation to the map

This is an example walkthrough. Wavelength places each part on the canvas as it hears it.

What someone says"When material comes in, QA checks it against the spec. If it passes, it moves to stock. If it fails, we tag it and return it to the supplier."
What Wavelength builds
  1. Actor: Receiving dock gets the material
  2. Step: QA checks against the spec
  3. Decision: Does it pass?
  4. Yes branch: Move to stock
  5. No branch: Tag and return to the supplier
