Welcome to the
Underground Intelligence Bureau
The Sygma way of locating buried services, declassified.
Genny first. Locate, then avoid.
Released a piece at a time: the courses, the videos, the handbook, and Agent Hertz, who has read the lot and answers with the clip it came from.

What this is
Everything Sygma has recorded and written about finding buried services, in one place and broken into small, specific pieces. It sits behind the training, not in place of it.
Nobody holds two days of training in their head months later, and the question always comes up on site rather than in a classroom. This is what you check instead of guessing.
At a toolbox talk
Pick a two minute video, play it off a laptop, talk about it. Nobody has to prepare anything.

When something goes wrong
Send the one piece on the thing they got stuck on, not a whole course.

A pattern you can see

Somebody new on site

Agent HertzWho is Agent Hertz
The one who has read the lot.
Agent Hertz is the Bureau's AI assistant. Type a question the way you would ask it on site, and he answers in plain English, the way Sygma teaches it.
Only from the library
He answers from Sygma's own videos, handbook and articles. Nothing off the internet.
Shows where it came from
Every answer links the clip or page behind it, so you can check it yourself.
Says when he does not know
If the library does not cover it he says so plainly, rather than guess.
Everywhere you can go.
On the job
Put it on your phone.
It installs like an app: its own icon, full screen, no browser bar, and you stay signed in for 90 days. Made for standing at the side of a road, not sitting at a desk.
