Inspection alone doesn’t solve the problem.

Even with clear condition data, a portion of connectors will still be identified as higher risk.

At this point, critical questions remain:

• Which connectors require immediate attention?
• Which can safely remain in service?
• How do you justify your decisions from a compliance and risk perspective?

Turning Data into a Defensible Strategy

Our Connector reliability index (CRI) Report transforms inspection data into clear, prioritised action.

Using proprietary refined grading and predictive modelling, we:

• Identify the connectors most likely to fail
• Focus maintenance activity on the areas of highest risk
• Enable a shift from reactive to planned, cost-efficient intervention
• Provide fully auditable, RBI-aligned reporting
• Deliver benchmarking for ongoing integrity management

Focused Maintenance. Proven Value.

By prioritising only what matters, the CRI approach enables:

• Reduced unnecessary maintenance activity
• Improved planning efficiency and resource allocation
• Measurable cost savings through targeted intervention
• Clear, defensible evidence of risk-based decision making

The Connector Reliability Index (CRI) – Your Facility’s Integrity Benchmark

The Connector Reliability Index (CRI) is Paragon’s proprietary, population-level metric that distils the condition of every inspected connector into a single, auditable number (1.0 to 5.0).

What the CRI Does:

• Provides a clear benchmark – Track facility health over time

• Reveals risk concentration – Shows whether risk is widespread or focused on a small percentage of connectors

• Enables defensible prioritisation – Tells you which connectors need attention and, just as importantly, which can safely be left alone

Generated exclusively from our 99% accurate Tru-Fit inspection data, the CRI transforms raw results into a strategic asset management tool—quantifying risk, guiding investment, and demonstrating compliance.
