Interesting. So there's two parts:

- a set of communications tools for enabling the assembly workers to have good assembly instructions. This is an iterative process as the design engineers watch the assembly.

- video is now cheap enough that you can video all the assembly and trace QA failures to a particular step.

There's a generally humane tone to the writeup, one of giving people the right tools to do a good job. If it can improve DfM that's great. The number of devices I've had to take apart with ridiculous numbers of screws or blind clips is too high. On the other hand, who among us would accept continuous surveillance every second of being clocked on?

Currently Upwork freelancers who are hired for hourly work get monitored for time tracking called the Work Diary[0]. My understanding is that this is a well-received value-add for their platform.
