A Deterministic Method for Quantifying Human Readiness and Predicting Human-Fact

The maritime industry continues to recognize that more than 85% of incidents stem from the Human Factor (Seafarers and shore-based employees). Yet most Human Reliability approaches begin their analysis only after the individual has joined the vessel and begins interacting with the operational task environment.
This creates a structural gap in understanding the state of the person before they enter any HRA context.

PYLI NET has created a deterministic mathematical algorithm and developed the Soft Screen X-Ray®, based on the SHIPScraft® Method, which establishes a pre-embarkation human-readiness baseline.
The system measures, quantifies, and verifies 26 non-technical Soft Skills and 26 behavioral competencies aligned with the INTERTANKO A–F framework. In addition, it produces detailed personality profiling and, through 19 internationally recognized psychometric screenings, evaluates stress-response patterns, emotional stability, communication effectiveness, and decision-making style, all within a 10–15 minute process.
This is neither a questionnaire nor a psychometric test. It is a structured self-assessment acceptance process, in which seafarers validate the assumptions that genuinely match their personality traits and cognitive patterns.

This framework does not replace or replicate HRA models such as SPAR-H, HEART, or CREAM.
These models analyze error probability within operational tasks.
Soft Screen X-Ray® operates before this stage, with an accuracy rate above 95%, providing early human-readiness indicators that support safer crew allocation and enhance the effectiveness of downstream HRA applications.

I welcome discussion and collaboration with colleagues working in Human Reliability and maritime safety.
