ESS Methodology Summary

ESS Snapshot uses a structured, multi-stage methodology to analyse environmental stability and generate actionable reports.

1. Video Processing (ESS Basic)

Uploaded video is processed to extract:

• movement flow patterns,

• clutter indicators,

• lighting consistency,

• hesitation points,

• hazard markers.

No raw video is stored unless required for support.

2. Metric Generation

ESS produces six core stability metrics:

• Drift

• Hesitation

• Noise

• Flow

• Hazard

These metrics form the foundation of both Basic and Premium Reports.

No external proprietary tools are referenced or used.
