Estate overview
A clear view of network work.
Open issues, estate navigation, and agent prompts share one workspace, so operators can see the state of the estate and decide where to go next.

Orcanet: network control you can trust.
I shaped Orcanet around a single, reliable record of every network asset. Reconciliation, lifecycle control, and change management live in one place, so the person answering for the estate knows what is on it.
The problem
At network scale, unreliable inventory becomes operational risk.
At this scale, stale records and fragmented device state affect change safety, incident response, audit posture, and automation. The product brings reconciliation, lifecycle controls, and change checks into one workflow.
Designed around a global estate supporting $100B in daily transaction notional
99.9% uptime with enforceable lifecycle controls and DR readiness in production
Audit pressure turned into measurable control posture for executive review
Immediate risks
- Stale DNS records and conflicting IP allocations eroding trust in the estate.
- Fragmented device state slowing incident containment and change scoping.
- Unowned assets creating audit findings and lateral-movement exposure.
- Unsafe automation running against inconsistent network state.
Complex network work, clearly organised.
The current interface keeps operational state, ownership, validation, and the next action close together.
Open exceptions
Urgent network alerts.
The operator queue keeps urgent findings visible alongside notifications, so the next action and its context stay close together.
Lifecycle
A complete lifecycle record.
Each transition records the asset, state, owner, and timing, making it easier to understand what changed and what should happen next.
Changes
Change risk, clearly assessed.
Validation results and deployment windows stay visible for each proposed change, with unsafe actions held back until the required checks pass.
Reports
Programme coverage and exceptions.
Track verified assets, unresolved exceptions, and remediation progress across the estate, with a view that works for programme owners and executive review.
Takeaway
Unreliable inventory became a control plane the business can act on.
The work connects asset records, lifecycle governance, exception management, change validation, and reporting. The design challenge is to make complex estate state legible without hiding the detail operators need to make safe decisions.
