Company profile
researched Aug 2026Scope (getscope.ai, operating entity SCOPE INSPECTION LTD, 66 Paul Street, London EC2A 4NA) develops an AI-native workflow platform for the testing, inspection and certification (TIC) industry and for heavy-asset operators. Inspectors configure inspection workflows, capture findings in the field via live audio, video, photos, annotated images or structured forms, and the system surfaces relevant historical inspection context, autofills forms and generates finalised reports in Word, Excel or PDF. The mobile application is offline-first, syncing once connectivity returns, and is positioned for asset-integrity work such as pressure equipment and lifting gear as well as non-destructive testing in aerospace, chemical, energy and infrastructure settings.
The company frames its value proposition around the administrative burden of inspection work: sources describe a four-hour site visit generating up to ten days of data analysis and report writing. Scope states its platform delivers 10x faster reporting, a 55% reduction in end-to-end inspection time, a 95% reduction in error rates, and eliminates manual data entry, freeing roughly 50% more inspector capacity. Platform features include multi-region infrastructure with data sovereignty, encryption, automatic PII redaction, granular role-based access with SSO and audit trails, temporary contractor access, out-of-the-box integrations with standard industry systems, and templates that update automatically as standards change. The company says it serves organisations with 10 to 100,000 inspectors.
Beyond current reporting automation, the founders describe a longer-term goal of converting individual inspections into a live, queryable database of physical infrastructure supporting predictive asset health and early failure detection, rather than point-in-time reports.
Founding story
Scope was founded in 2024 by Jonathan Low (CEO) and Jakob Cassiman (CTO). Low previously worked at the AI lab Conjecture; Cassiman was a machine learning engineer at enterprise AI company ML6 and was a Fulbright Scholar at Carnegie Mellon University. The company is associated with Entrepreneurs First, which participated in its Series A.
Business model
B2B software sold to TIC providers and heavy asset operators running inspection and certification programmes; one source characterises the business model as B2B and references annual recurring revenue, indicating a subscription/SaaS structure. A Scope AI account is required to use the mobile app.
Recurring software revenue; the company has reported growth in annual recurring revenue since commercial launch. Specific pricing is not disclosed in the sources.
Traction
Since commercial launch in July 2025, Scope reports 9x ARR growth and a 100% pilot conversion rate, with inspectors at six of the ten largest global inspection companies using the platform (company website claims 7 of the top 10 largest inspection providers). Customer testimonials come from NDT Group, TUV Rheinland and an unnamed top-3 TIC provider. The Android app shows 10+ downloads and was last updated 2026-08-13. Third-party estimates of revenue ($5.4M) and valuation ($81.2M) on one aggregator are explicitly modelled from comparables at low confidence rather than reported figures.
Latest developments
May 2026: Series A round of approximately $20 million led by Index Ventures announced, to expand the London team and accelerate adoption among global inspection companies. Angel participants included Mehdi Ghissassi (Ai71, formerly DeepMind), Cedric Pech (MongoDB), Naren Shaam (Omio) and Andy Szybalski (Microsoft AI). The mobile app received report-synchronisation improvements and stability fixes in an August 2026 update.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies
Market position
Positioned as an AI-native challenger to paper forms, spreadsheets and legacy inspection reporting software in the TIC sector, which sources size at roughly $300bn (£223.7bn) and describe as fragmented and slow to digitise. The company's site claims it is trusted by 7 of the top 10 largest inspection providers; press coverage from May 2026 states inspectors at six of the world's top 10 global inspection companies use the platform.
Sources emphasise domain depth over generic AI: the Index Ventures partner leading the round cited the CEO's extensive time spent on inspection sites feeding requirements back to product. Product-level differentiators cited include offline-first capture in rough field conditions, single-click generation of finalised reports requiring no edits, automatic template updates as standards change, rapid deployment, and enterprise security/data-sovereignty controls.
Technology
AI agents and workflow automation applied to field inspection: multimodal capture (live audio, video, photos, notes, forms), retrieval of historical inspection context, automatic form filling and report generation from industry standards and pre-existing templates. One source attributes machine learning, natural language processing and computer vision to the platform. Engineering emphasis on offline-first mobile operation with later sync, parallel processing, multi-region deployment with data sovereignty, encryption in transit, automatic PII redaction, SSO and audit trails.
Go-to-market
Direct enterprise sales with a demo-led website funnel and pilot programmes that the company says convert at 100%. Adoption has been driven through the largest global inspection companies, with named references including TUV Rheinland and NDT Group; one customer cites going live within two days of signing. A mobile app is distributed via Google Play. Series A proceeds are earmarked for expanding the London team and accelerating adoption among global inspection companies.
Testing, inspection and certification (TIC) providers and heavy asset operators, including inspection teams in aerospace, chemical, energy, manufacturing, shipping and infrastructure. Deployments range from organisations with 10 inspectors to those with 100,000.
Geography
Headquartered in London, United Kingdom, with the operating entity registered at 66 Paul Street, London EC2A 4NA and a Belgian (+32) contact number. The platform is offered with multi-region infrastructure and data sovereignty, and customers include global inspection companies; funding is directed at expanding the London team.
History
Founded in 2024 in London, Scope launched commercially in July 2025 and reported 9x ARR growth in the following months. In May 2026 it announced a Series A of €17.3 million / $20 million (reported as £14.9m) led by Index Ventures, with Susa Ventures, Entrepreneurs First and Syndicate 1 participating alongside angel investors. Its Android app was most recently updated in August 2026.
Risks & controversies
Performance claims (10x faster reporting, 55% reduction in end-to-end inspection time, 95% error reduction, 100% pilot conversion, 9x ARR growth) originate from the company and are repeated in press coverage without independent verification. Customer-coverage claims differ between sources (7 of the top 10 largest inspection providers per the company site versus six of the top 10 in May 2026 press). Revenue and valuation figures on one aggregator are modelled estimates with stated confidence of 33% and 24% respectively. The company operates in a safety-critical, regulated sector where documentation accuracy carries legal consequences, and faces an industry historically resistant to digital change. Note: a separately listed Vancouver-based public company also named Scope AI Corp. (CSE: SCPE) is unrelated to this business.
