Crew change is when memory dies.
The last chief left. You got a folder and a chat thread. The defect that matters is not in either.
Demo fiction · not a customer vessel
Starboard genset impeller. Said once at the pump. Still findable after the rotation.
Live Meridian demo Entry #21102 — photo + note. Ask beat and Comp stay Entry #4207. Not a scheduled grease job.
01
Said at the pump
Captain logs starboard genset raw-water pump — impeller shed three vanes, photo on file.
02
Approved that night
AI drafts. A human signs. Nothing enters the book until someone says so.
03
Asked six months later
A different engineer asks Ask Your Vessel. The Log returns Entry #4207 — dated, named, photo on file. That author is already gone.
04
Still on handover
Last chief flies. The record stays with the vessel — not in a personal chat thread.
Demo fiction · Entry #4207 · not a customer win
Open the Meridian demo. Walk the path.
- 01 Capture — photo + spoken note at the job
- 02 Review — AI draft, human approve
- 03 Logs — the dated book
- 04 Briefing — what the next watch still needs
- 05 Ask — Ask Your Vessel, or an honest miss
WhatsApp loses the defect. A PMS schedules the oil change and forgets what was found.
Photo first. Then talk. Thirty seconds standing next to the job. AI proposes. You approve. No evidence, no record.
Ask Your Vessel — or an honest miss.
A group chat is a conversation. The Log is a record.
The job was said once, at the pump. Six months later a different engineer asks Ask Your Vessel. The Log names Entry #4207, the date, and who wrote it. That person is no longer aboard.

The vessel's memory assistant only answers from evidence.
Ask Your Vessel
Has the starboard watermaker high-pressure pump been rebuilt this season?
Answer
No record found for a starboard watermaker high-pressure pump rebuild this season.
No evidence, no record. The Log does not invent a line to fill the gap.

Straight answers
- Will this replace our PMS?
- No. They run the boat; we keep the book. IDEA still schedules the oil change — we keep who did it, what was found, and the picture.
- How do you stop the AI inventing log entries?
- AI proposes. A human approves. No evidence means no record / honest miss.
- Where does the data live if a captain leaves?
- Memory stays with the vessel.
- What is included at $250/mo?
- One vessel, whole crew: Capture, Logs, Due, Ask Your Vessel, Handover. No per-seat tax.
Put this on my boat before the next rotation.
