Best-Day Production Diagnostic

The Best-Day Diagnostic

Your operation has already proven what it can do. This tool measures how much of that proven capacity your current operating design delivers — and how much it quietly gives back.

🔒 Your data never leaves this page. All analysis runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded, stored, or visible to Stratflow or anyone else.

1 · Your daily production data

Paste daily production for the last 3 to 12 months (6 months is ideal) — two columns: date and daily tonnes (or BCM, ounces, m²). Copy straight from Excel, or upload a CSV or Excel (.xlsx) file. A day-number column (1, 2, 3…) works as well as dates. Minimum 28 days. If your file holds several years, the tool evaluates the most recent 6 months by default — you can change that below.

2 · What your data says

Best sustained 28 days vs daily average

That best run was not produced by different people, different equipment or a different orebody. It was produced by the same crews, the same fleet, the same plant and the same ground — on a stretch when, for a while, everything happened to line up. The capacity to produce at that rate is physically present in your operation, every single day.

“The gap between your best day and your daily average is not a measure of what your mine lacks. It is a measure of what its design quietly throws away.”
— Hendrik Lourens, The Thing That’s Holding Mining Back

3 · The evidence

Daily production, with your average (dashed) and your best sustained window (shaded). The band between them is the subject of this test.

4 · What the gap is worth in tonnes

Where the 25% signature is confirmed, the range above is the documented outcome band across ninety-plus flow interventions: 10–40% more output with the same resources, typically 20%, applied to your current annual output. Your demonstrated capacity is the physical ceiling; the range is what implementations have actually delivered.

5 · What it is worth in money (optional — nothing leaves this page)

How this was calculated
If the gap is real on your data, the rest of the argument applies to you.
The gap can be closed without capital, and the first step is fully reversible: a contained ninety-day experiment your operation can stop at any time.
