"The AI operating companion for cabin crew."
■ PDF-heavy systems slow down training ■ AI delivers instant answers from uploaded manuals
■ Manual document search wastes crew time ■ Interactive aircraft maps replace rote memorisation
■ Legacy platforms cause stress during drills ■ Emergency mode built for drill-speed access
■ No visual aircraft familiarisation tools exist ■ Mobile-first and offline-capable for in-flight use

any door, galley, or exit to view procedures, equipment, and crew
responsibilities.
02 AI Manual Upload SOPs and manuals. AI indexes them privately via RAG + [Month 2]
Assistant vector search. Natural language queries return sourced answers
with page references.
03 Emergency Mode Fast-access assistant for drills — decompression, smoke/fire, [MVP]
ditching, evacuation, medical, slide malfunction, and unusable
exits.
04 Training & Quiz Gamified quizzes, timed scenario simulations, scoring, weak-area [MVP]
System tracking, revision reminders, and optional leaderboards.
05 Announcement Practice boarding and emergency announcements with audio [Phase 2]
Trainer playback and self-assessment. AI pronunciation scoring in Phase
2.
06 Revision Tracker Track manual revisions, changed procedures, and updated [Month 2]
sections. Answers 'What changed in Rev 24?' —
compliance-critical.
07 Layover Assistant Hotel details, nearby food, gym, transport, timezone tools, local [Phase 2]
emergency numbers, and weather in one crew utility layer.
08 Offline Mode Cached manuals, SOPs, and aircraft data work fully offline. AI [MVP]
search requires internet. On-device AI is a Phase 2 feature.

$ 05 · BUSINESS MODEL — B2B LICENSING
Subscription model removed. CrewMind AI targets direct B2B licensing, institutional partnerships, and airline contracts
as the primary revenue path. Individual crew access is free to build adoption — revenue flows from organisations.
REVENUE STREAM TARGET MODEL
Annual contract per fleet / per crew
Airline Licensing Etihad, Emirates, Qatar Airways count
Aviation Academy Training centres worldwide Per-seat institutional license
Government / GCAA Civil aviation authorities Regulatory compliance package
White-label Deploy Regional carriers, charter ops Custom-branded deployment fee
Professional Onboarding, custom SOP migration,
Services Any airline / academy support
GO-TO-MARKET STRATEGY
■ Free individual crew access to build a real user base and generate testimonials
■ Use crew adoption metrics as proof of value when pitching to airlines and academies
■ Target aviation training academies first — shorter sales cycles than airlines
■ Enterprise airline contracts are the primary revenue — position as an EFB companion
■ Regulatory compliance angle (GCAA, EASA, FAA) opens government procurement channels

! 06 · SECURITY ARCHITECTURE
Encrypted Uploads AES-256 at rest + TLS 1.3 in transit for all manual uploads
Private RAG Indexes Each organisation's embeddings are fully isolated — no cross-tenant leakage
Role-Based Access Crew, supervisor, and admin roles with scoped permissions per airline
No Redistribution Uploaded manuals are never used for AI training or shared externally
Enterprise SSO SAML / OAuth2 integration with airline identity providers
Audit Logs Full access and query logs for compliance and regulatory audits
Data Residency Host in-region (EU / UAE / APAC) for airline data sovereignty requirements

drills
AR Cabin Training Point camera at aircraft diagram to see interactive procedure overlays in
real-time
Smart Revision Alerts Push notifications when door arming, evacuation, or safety procedures are
updated
Multi-Airline Profiles Switch between Etihad, Emirates, and Qatar SOP sets within a single app
instance
On-Device AI Local LLM (Qwen) for fully offline AI search — no internet required at all
LMS Integration Connect with airline LMS platforms for compliance tracking and certificates

CREWMIND AI PROJECT SPECIFICATION v2.0
~ 08 · FIXES & DECISIONS APPLIED
FIX Subscription model Replaced with B2B licensing, academy contracts, and white-label
removed deployment. No consumer subscription tiers exist.
FIX Offline AI clarified Offline mode caches SOPs, manuals, and aircraft data. AI search
requires internet. On-device AI via Qwen is Phase 2.
FIX MVP timeline made realistic AI Manual Assistant moved to Month 2 so Month 1 is genuinely
shippable. RAG pipelines are a 3-4 week build alone.
FIX OpenAI vs Qwen resolved OpenAI GPT-4o is the primary AI. Qwen is the enterprise/self-hosted
fallback for data sovereignty requirements only.
FIX Announcement Trainer Self-assessment and playback in MVP. AI pronunciation scoring and
scoped confidence analysis moved to Phase 2.
FIX Tech stack conflict resolved Clear AI hierarchy established. No longer treating OpenAI and Qwen as
equivalent parallel options.
