Four reasons

What makes the evidence different.

Sees the real work

Observes how work is actually performed across web, desktop, legacy and office applications — not only what the systems recorded.

Case-level, end to end

Connects every activity to business data and to your own cases, then rebuilds end-to-end paths, variants and handoffs.

Light to start

No-install recording with non-intrusive desktop-recording software, no Administrator-level endpoint access, and no log extraction before the first evidence.

Evidence that holds up

AI recognizes, a process engineer approves, reconstruction is deterministic — then the result is translated into hours and dollars.

The comparison that matters

What each approach can actually show you.

Not a vendor scorecard. Four categories of approach, and the question each one is able to answer.

Categories of approach, not named products.
ApproachWhat it shows you
Workshops and interviewsHow people describe the work.
Event-log process miningWhat the systems recorded.
Application usageWhere the time went.
A general-purpose AI assistantWhat you were able to describe to it, and what it could read from a screen recording.
StereologicThe work actually done — by case, end to end.

Compare Stereologic with named vendors

The question we now get asked first

“Could we just point an AI assistant at this?”

A fair question, and worth answering properly rather than dismissing. A general-purpose assistant is genuinely good at summarising what it is given. The work is in getting it something worth summarising.

To use one for operational discovery, somebody first has to produce the raw material: design and run screen recording across many desktops over many days, then collect, store and review it. That is a project before it is an analysis, and it carries its own privacy and security conversation.

Then the hard part starts. The assistant sees pixels and prose. Turning that into something an operation can act on means getting it to reliably name which application and which screen the work happened on — and in most business systems several screens share one window title, so the title alone will not tell you. It means reading the business data on those screens and the values inside it. It means telling a real process step apart from navigation between screens. It means reconnecting a task that was interrupted on Tuesday and finished on Thursday, and separating two tasks worked in parallel. It means tying all of it to the case it belongs to. Each of those is a sustained prompt-engineering effort, and each one has to produce the same answer every time, or the number built on top of it cannot be defended.

The difference is what has already been solved

Stereologic uses AI for exactly this recognition work — applications and screens, detailed activities, business data and its values, case identity, decision branches. A process engineer reviews, corrects and approves those outputs at defined checkpoints. Everything downstream — case assembly, end-to-end reconstruction, map generation — is deterministic, so the same recorded work produces the same model every time. It is the product of eighteen years of operational discovery and three granted U.S. patents, not a prompt.

Where an assistant earns its place is after that: asking questions of evidence that has already been recognised, reviewed and assembled. That is a good use of it. It is not a substitute for producing the evidence.

Where the AI does real work

The hidden cost

Five minutes of work. A week of waiting.

A task looks simple in the workshop. The real operation around it is not. Between the start and the finish sit interruptions, other cases, email, spreadsheets, waiting, handoffs, returns and corrections.

The demonstrated task runs A to B to C in five minutes. The real operation runs A, interruption, another case, email, Excel, wait, handoff, return, correction, then B — five minutes of work spread across days of elapsed time.
If the work in between is invisible, the business case for change is incomplete.

Workshops see the demonstrated task. System logs see the transaction. Neither sees the week. Stereologic measures the work in between.

Time is not throughput

Knowing where the time went is not enough.

Illustrative claims-processing example. The same three hours and fifty-two minutes, read two ways.

What application usage can tell you
  • 3h 52mspent in the claims application

This shows where time was spent.

What Deep Task Mining™ can tell you
  • 41 claims approved — per case, per team
  • 12 rejected — decision branch and recorded reason
  • 9 re-opened — after a correction
  • 6 stalled — where work stopped, waiting on a third party

This shows what work was actually accomplished.

Stereologic connects that task-level understanding with the end-to-end process — cases, flows, handoffs, variants and outcomes. What work was actually done, and what business outcome followed.
