What information does the system collect?

The workflow can collect Project name, client, and jurisdiction, Site location and area affected, Planning condition or research framework, Known constraints and previous work, then organize that context for the person or system responsible for the next step.

Do we need to replace our current software?

Usually not. Wavefront first identifies which website, inbox, CRM, calendar, quoting, and reporting tools should stay, then connects or replaces only what the approved workflow requires.

Can we start with one workflow?

Yes. The first release is intentionally narrow: one useful handoff, clear owners, agreed escalation rules, and a measurable outcome. Additional stages are connected only after the first workflow is working.

What happens when the AI is unsure?

Uncertain, unusual, sensitive, or high-impact cases follow defined escalation rules and are routed to the right person with the available context.

AI automation built for archaeology teams.

Where archaeology teams lose time and opportunity, and what a connected system does about it.

Structure project and consultation enquiries, organize site records, finds, and archive documentation, track permit and reporting deadlines, and prepare summaries for specialist review.

Archaeology teams customer journey

See how a connected system can respond, qualify, route, follow up, and report across the complete customer journey.

Why archaeology teams need a connected AI system

Commercial and research archaeology both run on documentation: site records, context sheets, finds registers, and reporting deadlines that arrive long after the trench is backfilled.

Illustrative workflow example

What a connected archaeology teams workflow could look like

Problem: Commercial and research archaeology both run on documentation: site records, context sheets, finds registers, and reporting deadlines that arrive long after the trench is backfilled.

System: Structure project and consultation enquiries, organize site records, finds, and archive documentation, track permit and reporting deadlines, and prepare summaries for specialist review.

Modeled result: Expected impact: a faster first response, a more complete handoff, and consistent follow-up. This example shows how the system could work and is not a reported client result.

Operating guardrail: Recording and administrative support only. Interpretation, dating, specialist identification, and curatorial decisions stay with qualified archaeologists. Precise locations of sensitive or unprotected sites are not published or shared through automated workflows, and human remains and treasure processes follow legal requirements.
