Expense review handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at utilities compliance leads, writing down what only one person knows.
A narrow anomaly detector scoped to expense review alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at utilities compliance leads, writing down what only one person knows.
A narrow optimisation engine scoped to site selection alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at utilities compliance leads, finding what the inspector would find, first.
Grant & funding tracking handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at utilities compliance leads, replacing the spreadsheet that currently holds it together.
A retrieval engine that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes grant & funding tracking. Aimed at utilities compliance leads, so the work stops following people home.
A narrow long-context reviewer scoped to contract analysis alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at utilities compliance leads, so the work stops following people home.
A narrow voice agent scoped to shift handover alone — no platform, no migration, no six-month rollout. Aimed at utilities field supervisors, charging only when it actually works.
Permit & licence tracking handled by a workflow engine, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at utilities field supervisors, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
Contract analysis handled by a document parser, with a human signing rather than writing. Aimed at utilities field supervisors, charging only when it actually works.
A voice agent that sits beside the existing system, reads what it already produces, and closes inspection. Aimed at utilities ops teams, at a tenth of what the enterprise suite charges.
A document parser that handles inspection end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at utilities ops teams, taking the phone queue off a human entirely.
Point a forecasting model at training & competency, and let people review output instead of producing it. Aimed at utilities ops teams, closing the loop while everyone is asleep.
An anomaly detector that handles asset tracking end to end and hands a human the exceptions rather than the queue. Aimed at utilities ops teams, charging only when it actually works.
