Methodology

Facts first. Then conflicts. Then judgment.

Every audit builds a source-linked evidence database for your project, then reconciles it across documents and workstreams. AI assists the extraction and comparison — a person verifies every material finding.

The engine

How an audit runs

01

Document upload

Schedules, utility agreements, permits, water, incentives, procurement — whatever you're comfortable sharing.

02

Extraction

Every important fact is pulled out and structured: value, source, page, date, confidence.

03

Structured facts

The project becomes a queryable evidence database, not a folder of PDFs.

04

Conflict detection

Facts are cross-referenced across documents. Where two sources disagree, that's a finding.

05

Dependency mapping

Power → transformer → installation → commissioning → energization → customer delivery. We map what depends on what.

06

Risk report

Conflicts become an executive risk register with impact, recommendations and information gaps.

Evidence discipline

Every statement in the report is one of four things

Documented fact

A source explicitly states it. Cited to document and page.

Conflict

Two sources disagree. Both citations shown side by side.

Inference

Our analysis suggests something. Labeled as inference, never presented as fact.

Recommendation

What management should consider doing, and why.

AI can extract, classify, compare and summarize. It never makes the final call on a material finding — that distinction is built into the methodology, not bolted on.

The internal checklist

The questions we ask of every project

Power

How much? When? Who provides it? Is it contractual? What conditions, milestones, dependencies?

Water

Source? Capacity? Permit? Application? Approval? Timing?

Permits

Required? Submitted? Approved? Conditions? Dependencies?

Incentives

Threshold? Eligible costs? Deadlines? Current forecast? Exposure?

Procurement

Long-lead equipment? Order date? Delivery? Installation? Commissioning?

Schedule

Energization? Construction? Commissioning? Customer delivery?

Then we cross-reference all of them against each other.
