An anomaly detector that handles permit & licence tracking end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at construction estimators, holding service constant on a smaller team.
A workflow engine that handles claims & appeals end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at construction estimators, catching the error before it becomes a change order.
An anomaly detector that handles risk assessment end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at construction estimators, finding what the inspector would find, first.
A document parser that handles RFP response end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at construction estimators, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.
Field reporting handled by a vision model, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at construction estimators, built for one person, not a department.
Asset tracking handled by an anomaly detector, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at construction estimators, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
Point an optimisation engine at scheduling, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at construction project managers, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
Point a forecasting model at scheduling, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at construction project managers, starting from data the business already produces.
Point a forecasting model at pricing, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at construction estimators, built for one person, not a department.
Lead qualification handled by a classifier, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at construction estimators, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
Compliance audit handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at construction estimators, catching the error before it becomes a change order.
A narrow workflow engine scoped to warranty & returns alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at construction estimators, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes knowledge capture. Aimed at construction estimators, catching the error before it becomes a change order.
Point a document parser at knowledge capture, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at construction estimators, writing down what only one person knows.
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to RFP response alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at construction estimators, holding service constant on a smaller team.
A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes shift handover. Aimed at construction estimators, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
Intake & triage handled by a voice agent, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at construction estimators, charging only when it actually works.
A workflow engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes collections. Aimed at construction project managers, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
Margin monitoring handled by a forecasting model, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at construction project managers, so the work stops following people home.
A reconciliation engine that handles vendor management 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 narrow workflow engine scoped to vendor management alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at construction project managers, starting from data the business already produces.
Document review handled by a long-context reviewer, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at construction project managers, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
A narrow long-context reviewer scoped to proposal writing alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at construction project managers, proving value before anyone signs anything.
A workflow engine that handles proposal writing end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at construction project managers, starting from data the business already produces.
