A document parser that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes compliance audit. Aimed at construction owner-operators, finding what the inspector would find, first.
Knowledge capture handled by a voice agent, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at construction ops teams, built for one person, not a department.
A narrow anomaly detector scoped to margin monitoring alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at construction estimators, charging only when it actually works.
Construction/Per-outcome/$4.3k ACV/~1 month
Document review 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.
Construction/Seat SaaS/$1.0k ACV/~1 month
Point a retrieval engine at proposal writing, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at construction estimators, so the work stops following people home.
Construction/Per-project/$3.1k ACV/~1 quarter
Point a document parser at claims & appeals, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at construction estimators, unbundling the one module people actually use.
Construction/Per-project/$3.1k ACV/~1 month
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to risk assessment alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at construction estimators, going after the low-value tail everyone else skips.
Construction/Usage-based/$2.2k ACV/~1 month
Point an anomaly detector at risk assessment, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at construction estimators, finding what the inspector would find, first.
Construction/Usage-based/$2.1k ACV/~1 quarter
Point a retrieval engine at compliance audit, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at construction estimators, proving value before anyone signs anything.
Construction/Managed service/$13k ACV/~1 quarter
Point a retrieval engine at knowledge capture, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at construction estimators, holding service constant on a smaller team.
A narrow long-context reviewer scoped to RFP response alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at construction estimators, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.
Construction/Managed service/$11k ACV/6-12 months
Point a retrieval engine at document review, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at construction project managers, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.
Construction/Per-outcome/$5.1k ACV/~1 quarter
A narrow long-context reviewer scoped to proposal writing alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at construction project managers, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
A narrow forecasting model scoped to scheduling alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at construction project managers, starting from data the business already produces.
Construction/Seat SaaS/$1.3k ACV/~1 quarter
A narrow retrieval engine scoped to RFP response alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at construction project managers, starting from data the business already produces.
A reconciliation engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes vendor management. Aimed at construction ops teams, holding service constant on a smaller team.
Construction/Per-project/$3.3k ACV/~1 month
Point a document parser at quoting & estimating, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at construction ops teams, surfacing the exposure nobody has priced.
Construction/Managed service/$12k ACV/~1 month
A retrieval engine that handles compliance audit end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at construction ops teams, writing down what only one person knows.
Construction/Per-outcome/$4.5k ACV/6-12 months
Construction/Seat SaaS/$1.4k ACV/~1 month
A retrieval engine that handles RFP response end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at construction ops teams, writing down what only one person knows.
