Credo AI validates equipment design data, identifies integrity risks, and generates technical recommendations for engineers.
Verification 01
ASME B31.3 · API 570
Material & Design Code Check
Credo AI checks the material of construction against the applicable design code. If the code does not recognise the steel grade or temperature limit, the system flags the record before risk calculations run.
Verification 02
API 581 · API 579 FFS
Minimum Allowable Wall Thickness (MAWT)
Credo AI calculates MAWT (tmin) from design pressure, diameter, allowable stress, and joint efficiency. The system flags any mismatch between the corrosion allowance, remaining life, and measured wall thickness.

Live Calculation Engine
API RP 581 Caustic Cracking Damage Evaluation
Credo executes API 581 Annex 2.C directly on plant data. The model checks post-weld heat treatment (PWHT) immunity and reads NaOH concentration and operating temperature from the database. It then plots the operating point directly on the Table 2.C.4.2 susceptibility curves.
Probabilistic Risk Analysis
Quantify Uncertainty in API 581 Risk Assessments
Deterministic API 581 calculations produce one result for a fixed date. Monte Carlo simulation calculates confidence intervals, budget priorities, and tail-risk probabilities across thousands of trials.
PILLAR 01
Safety: Quantify Tail Risk
Safety depends on the extreme tail of the probability distribution, not the average condition. The simulation calculates the probability that wall thickness reaches the minimum limit before the planned turnaround date.
PILLAR 02
Efficiency: Prioritize Inspection Budgets
Turnaround inspection scopes require clear budget decisions. Monte Carlo simulation identifies which equipment items drive plant risk and which items require less frequent inspection. Managers can size turnaround work packages to a chosen confidence level.
PILLAR 03
One Physics Engine
Monte Carlo does not replace API 581 with a separate mathematical model. The simulator runs the same API 581 damage equations across 10,000 iterations. You maintain one physics engine and one consistent set of compliance records.
Deterministic vs. Probabilistic Reporting
| Operational Question | API 581 (Deterministic) | Monte Carlo (Probabilistic) |
|---|---|---|
| When must we inspect? | One calendar date | A date at a selected confidence level (for example, P95) |
| How much risk do we carry? | One risk matrix cell | The probability distribution across each risk category |
| Where should we allocate budget? | Ranked by severity only | Ranked by risk reduction per unit of cost |
“API 581 answers the regulator’s question. Monte Carlo answers the plant director’s question.”

30-Year Deployment Methodology
Three Core Rules for Integrity Software Deployment
Integrity software projects fail when teams underestimate legacy data complexity. CredoSoft applies a structured three-step deployment method developed over 30 years of global installations.
01
Data Migration Is the Primary Milestone
An integrity system depends on accurate historical data. We clean, verify, and structure legacy thickness readings, inspection records, and equipment tags before enabling advanced analytics.
02
Merge Data Silos Into One Schema
Importing raw spreadsheets without validation only moves data errors into a new interface. Credo enforces standard tag names, verified material codes, and consistent units during import.
03
Deliver in Fast, Measurable Stages
Multi-year deployments often lose momentum and user trust. CredoSoft delivers working 3D models and verified inspection workflows within weeks, then expands across the plant in stages.
ISO Certified Operations
CredoSoft operates under quality and security management systems audited annually by independent registrars.
