# Demiton

> The overrun that never happens. Five things eat the margin on every job -
> rework, missed claims, disputes, cost drift and lapsed compliance - and Demiton catches each one in the register that already
> holds the fact, before the cost compounds. It reads the systems a contractor
> already runs (ERP, field, payroll, documents) into one set of registers. Built for
> Australian self-perform civil contractors at AU$10-150M revenue, 30 to 200
> people, with owned plant. Azure-hosted in Australia, with Australian data
> residency.

## The five diseases

Each is a moment on a job, and what Demiton does about it. All five protections run every day, each against the registers that hold its facts. Where a register is still empty, the protection says which kind of system would fill it.

- **Rework** - The inspection failed. The next stage was already built on top of it. The failed result reaches the person who can stop the next stage the day it lands, with the close-out date attached. Full page: https://demiton.io/diseases/rework
- **Missed claims** - The extra work was real, or it rained for four days. Both notices went in late. When the instruction arrives or the rain starts, the clock starts. The notice is drafted and waiting before the window shuts, while the ground is still wet. Full page: https://demiton.io/diseases/missed-claims
- **Disputes** - It went to a lawyer, and the record for that week is empty. If the day's record isn't in by evening, you're told which one is missing while people still remember the day. Full page: https://demiton.io/diseases/disputes
- **Cost drift** - Nobody saw the job drift until the final account. Drift against the price you quoted is flagged at $50K, not $5M. Full page: https://demiton.io/diseases/cost-drift
- **Lapsed compliance** - The insurance lapsed the week the client checked. Every expiry counts down at 90, 30 and 7 days, with the renewal attached. Full page: https://demiton.io/diseases/lapsed-compliance

## Contracts and standards

Demiton holds 595 obligations across 107 documents,
transcribed clause by clause, each with the window it sets and what missing it costs.
No library of law is complete, and Demiton never says this one is. An obligation the library does not hold, and you did not add, is not protected. You can add your own to any job.

## Key terms

- A **register** is a collection of facts derived from the systems a customer already
  runs: site diary entries, timesheet lines, plant hours, aged payables, tender
  notices. You ask for the register, not the system that produced it. The API and
  MCP tools call a register a shelf.
- A **register format** is the shape those facts take once they land, and it is the
  same shape regardless of which system the record came from. There are
  182 registers across 11 domains, every one with a published JSON
  Schema contract at https://api.demiton.io/api/v1/public/registers - no login.
- **Civil Memory** is the layer those registers live in: one continuous record from
  the public market through to delivery.
- **Ask Demiton** exposes this over the Model Context Protocol, so Claude and other
  MCP hosts can query a contractor's own systems and the public procurement record.
- Every external call is identity-bound and audited. Demiton executes work against
  connected systems; it does not let a model act unsupervised.

## Systems supported

- Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central (ERP)
- Assignar (field operations, site diaries)
- Employment Hero Payroll (KeyPay) and Employment Hero HR (Australian payroll and HR)
- Xero (accounting)
- SharePoint (documents, compliance)
- Microsoft Entra ID (identity, SSO)
- Claude and other MCP hosts, over the Model Context Protocol (OAuth on every call)

## Commercial model

- **Pilot** (AU$8,000 for 6 weeks, ex tax): the Outlook add-in for the organisation, at least 5 named users, a leaderboard, and the implementation plan at week six. The fee comes off the implementation if you sign within 30 days.
- **Free** (AU$0): Protection on one job worth under AU$2M. No annual fee.
- **Baseline** (AU$55,000/year): Margin protection, one flat annual fee. AU$55,000 a year, flat up to AU$100M of contract value under watch (negotiated above), indexed to ABS CPI at each anniversary and never falling. Protection included. Nothing is billed on cash recovered or avoided cost.
- **Enterprise** (bespoke pricing): For parent organisations consolidating across multiple entities, firms running proprietary ERPs that need custom adapter work, and bespoke deployments. Cover of AU$100M+ group-wide, offered on request and by approval.

## Engineering Log

Four standing series. Two recur: a Product Update every Monday and a Long Read
monthly. Two publish on no fixed beat: Bridgeworks as updates land, and the
Product Roadmap when it changes.

- [Product Update](https://demiton.io/blog/series/product-update): Every Monday: which of the five margin diseases moved closer to prevented, and what we built, fixed and measured to get it there. Written for the people whose work depends on it, not for a changelog.
  - Latest: [The email starts the clock](https://demiton.io/blog/product-update-2026-10-19) (2026-10-19)
- [Bridgeworks](https://demiton.io/blog/series/bridgeworks): Bridgeworks, our demo company, working a real TMR or TfNSW contract. Published as updates land, on no fixed beat. The five diseases, the registers, and what would have been caught before it cost. Real project, fictional company, real product.
  - Latest: [Every demo needs a fake company. Ours is Bridgeworks.](https://demiton.io/blog/bridgeworks-demo-company) (2026-09-30)
- [Product Roadmap](https://demiton.io/blog/series/product-roadmap): Published when it changes: what is being built, what was cut, and why the order is the way it is. For the people who have to plan around the product.
- [Long Read](https://demiton.io/blog/series/long-read): Monthly: one argument, at length. Architecture decisions, procurement policy, and the parts of running jobs through software that nobody writes down.
  - Latest: [What a sanctions-screening project taught us about matching civil contractors](https://demiton.io/blog/identity-resolution-vs-the-incumbents) (2026-09-25)

Feeds: [all posts](https://demiton.io/blog/feed.xml), or a single series with
`https://demiton.io/blog/feed.xml?series=<slug>`.

## Recent posts

- [The email starts the clock](https://demiton.io/blog/product-update-2026-10-19) (2026-10-19): A variation's notice window starts on the day of the direction, and the direction usually arrives as an email. Demiton for Outlook records the email on the job and counts the window from the email's own date. It runs in production today, installed by an organisation's admin from a link. This week it heads for Microsoft's store, so anyone can add it from Outlook: the listing is drafted, and four things stand between it and Microsoft's review. Variations typed into Demiton or read from a document now start their windows too, and the library holds 447 obligations.
- [Alerts that reach someone, and 428 obligations](https://demiton.io/blog/product-update-2026-10-12) (2026-10-12): Until last Wednesday, Demiton measured rework, cost drift and disputes on every protected job every hour and told nobody. Now every disease alerts every organisation. Each protected job has its own page, with the contract as Demiton read it and a Confirm beside every term. The obligation library holds 428 obligations from 87 instruments, Ireland, England, Ontario and South Africa among them, added to find where the code still assumes Australia. Apple approved Demiton's developer account, so the iPhone app is coming soon.
- [252 obligations, the requests they raise, and who signs them off](https://demiton.io/blog/product-update-2026-10-07) (2026-10-07): Demiton is live in Claude's connector directory. This update is two days late because Monday was a public holiday in Queensland, and since this release Demiton's deadlines know that too. The obligation library has grown from 135 to 252. When a protection fires it now raises a request that one named person answers, carrying its amount and currency. Who signs off is set on one screen, each claim and delay runs its own clock, and a contractor's Navman data now answers CLOCS-A job by job.
- [The ledger knew in March: Business Central and the five diseases](https://demiton.io/blog/business-central-five-diseases) (2026-09-30): The job was under margin months before anyone said so out loud, and every fact needed to see it was already posted. Business Central keeps 29 registers current in Demiton, from job cost lines to retention. Covered here: what comes across from your ERP, which of the five margin diseases it helps stop - cost drift above all - and the two diseases it does nothing for.
- [Every demo needs a fake company. Ours is Bridgeworks.](https://demiton.io/blog/bridgeworks-demo-company) (2026-09-30): Contoso taught software how to show a real product without a real customer. Bridgeworks is Demiton's Contoso: a fictional civil contractor that works real TMR and TfNSW contracts, so we can show the five diseases catching without pointing at anyone's books.
- [Four kinds of protection, what the research says each disease costs, and all 135 obligations](https://demiton.io/blog/product-update-2026-09-28) (2026-09-28): A job's obligations fail in four different shapes, so Demiton protects them four ways: a watch, a countdown, a check and a threshold. This week each one exists, all five diseases run a daily check, and the research behind them is sorted by whose money it measures. Two new public sources back it: research.demiton.io and the demitonapp/registers repository. Below that is every obligation in the library, all 135, with its clause and what missing it costs.
- [What a sanctions-screening project taught us about matching civil contractors](https://demiton.io/blog/identity-resolution-vs-the-incumbents) (2026-09-25): We went shopping for entity resolution and priced Senzing, Splink, AWS and the MDM suites. The best answer to our company-name problem turned out to be an open source matcher built to screen sanctions lists. Here is the whole search, what OpenSanctions got right, and what a civil platform has to build that nobody sells.
- [Disputes are won in the paperwork, and the paperwork has a deadline](https://demiton.io/blog/product-update-2026-09-21) (2026-09-21): A dispute is usually decided months before anyone argues it, by a notice that went in late or a record nobody kept. This week Demiton learned 125 cited evidence standards across Australia and New Zealand, and started checking every active project against them every morning. Disputes is the second disease with a verdict running every morning. Neither has fired on a live job yet.
- [$450,000 in, $175,100 out: what the research says a $5 million civil job keeps](https://demiton.io/blog/what-five-diseases-cost-a-5-million-job) (2026-09-18): A $5 million civil job plans on a $450,000 margin. Published research says it keeps $175,100. Every figure sourced, with the three we cannot measure named.
- [The record was already there: Assignar and the five diseases](https://demiton.io/blog/assignar-five-diseases) (2026-09-16): The ticket expired the week the client audited the crew, and the expiry date had been sitting in the field app for a year. Most of what goes wrong on a job is recorded before it goes wrong. This week: what Assignar already holds, which of the five margin diseases it helps stop, and where it stops.
- [The model form: what Florence Nightingale would make of 157 registers](https://demiton.io/blog/product-update-2026-09-15) (2026-09-14): Nightingale's hardest fight was not nursing. It was that hospitals recorded the same facts in different shapes, so preventable disease could not be seen, let alone stopped. Civil construction has that problem today. This week we published all 157 register formats, organised Demiton around the diseases that eat a job's margin, put Demiton for Android live on Google Play, and announced forge.
- [Demiton for Android is with Google](https://demiton.io/blog/demiton-android-launch) (2026-09-07): The Android app is submitted and in review. Behind it: outcome-driven onboarding, a learning bid queue, cross-system identity, and sourced answers.
- [Civil Pipeline #3: TMR is buying, Defence is running, and 349 notices landed this week](https://demiton.io/blog/civil-pipeline-june-2026) (2026-06-02): We said we were building a machine-readable view of the Australian civil procurement market. This is what it shows. 2,079 procurement facts. 11 active tenders. 349 planning notices. Here is what matters to a civil contractor this week.
- [Fortnight wrap: Studio becomes the MCP client](https://demiton.io/blog/friday-wrap-2026-05-28) (2026-05-28): Twenty MCP tools became four, and the report tools have since folded into ask_demiton. Three god files got split. A 392-line hotspot that had absorbed 67 commits in 90 days was broken into domain files. And a boolean bypass that lived in six places across the auth stack got replaced with a proper role migration.
- [Australia's $70 billion procurement transparency problem (and the open source fix)](https://demiton.io/blog/australia-procurement-transparency-gap) (2026-05-28T08:00:00+10:00): Every Australian state legally requires contract awards to be disclosed. Not one requires them in machine-readable form. The Commonwealth calls OCDS adoption cost-prohibitive while spending $580M to rebuild one website. We're building the fix as open source.
