A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes compliance audit. Aimed at construction project managers, holding service constant on a smaller team.
Knowledge capture handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at construction project managers, proving value before anyone signs anything.
A document parser that handles field reporting end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at construction project managers, unbundling the one module people actually use.
An autonomous agent that handles collections end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at construction ops teams, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
An anomaly detector that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes permit & licence tracking. Aimed at construction ops teams, built for one person, not a department.
A narrow document parser scoped to quoting & estimating alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at construction ops teams, starting from data the business already produces.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes compliance audit. Aimed at construction project managers, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
A retrieval engine that handles RFP response end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at construction project managers, so the work stops following people home.
A long-context reviewer that handles RFP response end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at construction project managers, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
Point an autonomous agent at customer support, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at construction project managers, catching the error before it becomes a change order.
A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes shift handover. Aimed at construction project managers, charging only when it actually works.
Point a workflow engine at shift handover, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at construction project managers, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
An autonomous agent that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes collections. Aimed at construction ops teams, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
A forecasting model that handles collections end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at construction ops teams, proving value before anyone signs anything.
Point a reconciliation engine at margin monitoring, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at construction ops teams, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.

A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes document review. Aimed at construction ops teams, so the work stops following people home.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes proposal writing. Aimed at construction ops teams, built for one person, not a department.
Point a long-context reviewer at proposal writing, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at construction ops teams, catching the error before it becomes a change order.
A workflow engine that handles proposal writing end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at construction ops teams, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.
Permit & licence tracking handled by an anomaly detector, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at construction ops teams, going after the low-value tail everyone else skips.
A workflow engine that handles quoting & estimating end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at construction ops teams, charging only when it actually works.
