Project overview

Platform: account, navigation and access 12 entries

An organized workspace for owners, public agencies, construction managers, designers and contractors.

Module and source availability apply
  • Account and profile

    Manage profile, password, organization identity and branding.

  • Project portfolio

    Create and open authorized projects; review active, closeout, archived and permitted trash views.

  • Account overview

    Use portfolio summaries and project selection to reach the right job.

  • Project control center

    Access project tools, current work, updates and available records from one starting point.

  • Task-oriented menu

    Use grouped navigation for home, field work, plans, reviews, schedules, costs and closeout.

  • Find a project tool

    Search navigation labels to locate a supported section quickly.

  • Quick access

    Open common records through account/project shortcuts.

  • Visible authority context

    See customer, project and current authority so actions are taken in the right workspace.

  • Organizations and users

    Assign participating organizations, project team members, roles and effective permissions.

  • Notifications and activity

    Review notifications, assigned actions and AI activity/audit information.

  • Page help and language controls

    Use contextual guidance and available interface language options.

  • Field application controls

    Configure licensed project, organization and person-level access; device enrollment and operating-system permissions remain separate.

Module visibility depends on licensing and effective permissions. Device access follows the applicable client, browser and operating-system requirements.

Source and availability details ↗
Platform: project setup and workflows 11 entries

Keep responsibility, review authority and record history explicit.

Module and source availability apply
  • Project identity and settings

    Maintain the job identity, participating parties and supported administrative settings.

  • Contract basis

    Record contract details, notice to proceed and the relevant review/payment clock inputs.

  • Project team and routing

    Configure responsible organizations and supported review routes for each record type.

  • Distinct actions

    Separate creating, submitting, responding, reviewing, verifying and approving according to effective authority.

  • Current ball-in-court

    Identify the current responsible party and workflow state.

  • Multi-step / parallel review

    Use supported route and approval semantics with accountable transitions.

  • Route revisions and history

    Preserve earlier route steps and decisions when a current route is amended.

  • Content sealing

    Bind supported certifications and finalized records to their content identity and attribution.

  • Linked corrections

    Create eligible correction revisions while preserving original sealed RFI/submittal content.

  • Forms and signatures

    Use configured templates and supported signing workflows with required fields and signing authority.

  • Audit events

    Retain attributable record and status history across governed workflows.

Routes differ by record type and project configuration. A content seal records identity and attribution, not the correctness of an engineering judgment.

Source and availability details ↗
Platform: Living Project and Energy TRACE 11 entries

Bring supported project records into a current, permission-aware investigation workspace.

Module and source availability apply
  • Current project-world view

    Combine authorized RFIs, submittals, schedules, drawings, field observations and available energy records.

  • Evidence freshness and coverage

    Show the age and coverage of available information rather than implying complete live awareness.

  • Selected gap detection

    Identify supported missing answers, references, assignments and review information.

  • Investigation drafts

    Prepare source-linked next-step drafts from selected findings.

  • Owner settings

    Control eligible monitoring and learning through authorized opt-in settings.

TRACE Continuum: project-state and missing-proof foundation 8 entries

Deployed on-demand foundation; its evidence compilation is distinct from a fully verified digital twin.

Module and source availability apply
  • Cross-register state compilation

    Compile accessible schedule, labor, change, billing, meetings, permits, safety, quality, daily and integration record state.

  • Typed evidence presentation

    Distinguish facts about stored records from assertions in those records, unsupported proof and restricted registers.

  • Unsealed record citations

    Provide scoped database references with explicit unsealed status and bounded per-register coverage.

  • Accepted-schedule gate

    Distinguish submitted schedule versions from the recorded accepted schedule of record.

  • Missing-Proof Radar

    Expose absent records and domain evidence that has not yet been verified.

  • Authority-aware proof requests

    Prepare reversible proof-request text with the current brief attached only for an authorized preparer; no automatic sending or record insertion.

  • Review-bundle export

    Download state, references, refusals, authority and draft/refusal as JSON with a payload SHA-256 fingerprint, not a digital signature.

  • Fresh-state controls

    Refresh state, reject stale results and explain restricted access without inferring authority from an administrator title.

Continuous event compilation, atomic historical snapshots, complete seal/source verification, day-level proof-spine analysis, contractual exposure calculations and signed evidence archives remain pending.

TRACE AI & knowledge

TRACE AI: assistance and reasoning 11 entries

Evidence-grounded assistance for construction administration, investigation and preparation.

Module and source availability apply
  • Ask TRACE

    Ask typed or voice questions, including informal wording and follow-ups. Choose quick lookup, an answer with sources or detailed investigation; edit scope-specific suggested questions before sending.

  • Product help and training

    Find screen guidance, navigation help and explanations of supported workflows through a separate product-help knowledge base.

  • Project-context assistance

    Use authorized project documents and supported structured records as evidence for project questions.

  • Structured interpretation

    Separate recorded facts, inferred consequences, assumptions, competing evidence and missing information.

  • Risk and schedule reasoning

    Explain supported implications, highlight missing logic, calendars or baselines, and propose a next verification step.

  • Cited answers and support checks

    Attach source references to supported findings; identify insufficient evidence rather than invent a project determination.

  • Answer, draft, classify, compare and educate

    Supported queued assistance tasks prepare material in an authorized record context, subject to evidence and access controls.

  • Professional decision boundaries

    Keep formal engineering, safety, legal, approval and permission-to-build decisions with the authorized person.

  • Run history and accountability

    Retain AI activity, run identifiers, source context and supported review/feedback information.

  • Request recovery

    Recover eligible long-running requests with the same request key and avoid duplicate model calls for repeated submissions.

  • Voice interaction where available

    Use supported voice entry/output subject to browser, device permissions and configured service availability.

AI availability depends on the enabled module, configured provider and usage allowance. Fluent output is not evidence of correctness.

TRACE AI: enforced evidence boundaries 10 entries

Source selection is enforced before evidence reaches the reasoning model.

Module and source availability apply
  • This project

    Restrict retrieval to the current authorized tenant and project, with matching source and passage identity.

  • General knowledge

    Search eligible shared reference material without carrying project context into that search.

  • Combined search

    Use the authorized project plus separately identified general references; do not mix in another project.

  • Web research boundary

    Project-only and combined project-bearing prompts do not use public web research. Permitted general research is a separate path.

  • Source authority

    Distinguish project records, reviewed references, general guidance and assertions; a reference is not automatically a governing requirement.

  • Edition and adoption context

    Retain available edition, jurisdiction and applicability metadata so the user can establish the controlling source.

  • Permission-aware retrieval

    Apply current access rights to records and evidence, including API and queued worker paths.

  • Scope-switch reset

    Clear prior questions, answers, citations and voice state when changing source scope.

  • Late-response protection

    Reject stale results after account, tenant, project, source-mode or relevant revision changes.

  • Project-private improvement records

    Keep failure curricula scoped and private; do not turn one customer's questions or project documents into another customer's knowledge.

Shared general references and project-private evidence remain distinct. General references must be evaluated for actual project applicability.

Source and availability details ↗
TRACE AI: documents, extraction and proof 11 entries

Turn supported files into inspectable evidence while preserving their source identity.

Module and source availability apply
  • Digital document ingestion

    Extract supported born-digital documents into searchable passages with source and page context.

  • Scanned PDF and image OCR

    Retain extraction method, page identity and available confidence/region metadata for scanned notes and images.

  • Page-preserving reference extraction

    Retain native PDF page numbering and layout-oriented text; open the original PDF page to verify tables, symbols and context.

  • Immutable source identity

    Use content fingerprints and revision links to identify the exact evidence used.

  • Source-linked passage retrieval

    Search relevant passages and supported structured project facts rather than treating all text as equally authoritative.

  • Citation inspection

    Open available source references and inspect the cited passage or original document.

  • Proof collection

    Collect supported answer evidence into proof items for review and communication.

  • Proof preview and PDF export

    Preview, print or download supported exhibits, reports and source manifests.

  • Safe upload admission

    Apply supported file validation, scanning and ingestion gates before protected evidence becomes usable.

  • Reference-pack quality checks

    Validate candidate hashes, page counts, page identity, empty/missing pages, safe paths and provenance metadata.

  • Controlled source expansion

    Add eligible references through extraction and quality review; preserve approval states and edition metadata.

Layout-oriented text does not preserve every visual relationship. OCR alone does not establish dimensions, scale, linework or design intent.

TRACE AI: knowledge library 11 entries

The deployed reference expansion includes eight complete retained federal publications, totaling 524 PDF pages, plus 24 original TRACE workflow guides.

Module and source availability apply
  • Electrical engineering

    UFC 3-501-01: electrical engineering reference material with page-linked source access.

  • Mechanical / HVAC

    UFC 3-410-01: heating, ventilation and air-conditioning reference material.

  • Civil engineering

    UFC 3-201-01: civil engineering reference material.

  • Plumbing

    UFC 3-420-01: plumbing systems reference material.

  • Cost estimating

    UFS 3-740-05: construction cost-estimating reference material.

  • Schedule specifications

    UFGS 01 32 01.00 10: project schedule guide specification.

  • Quality control

    UFGS 01 45 00: quality-control guide specification.

  • Safety requirements

    UFGS 01 35 26: governmental safety requirements guide specification.

  • Existing reference records

    Eligible existing Greenbook and selected OSHA reference records remain subject to their recorded rights, readiness and approval states.

  • Workflow knowledge

    Original TRACE guidance explains common processes. Eligible exact guide matches can return cited guidance without a model call; the complete title index appears later in this document.

  • Source transparency

    Retained editions, original PDF links and extraction provenance identify what is actually in the deployed pack.

This is not an all-codes library. Referenced commercial standards are not included by reference. Full OSHA, FHWA and GAO libraries were not added by this expansion; full Greenbook fidelity was not newly certified.

Source and availability details ↗
TRACE AI: drafting and action preparation 9 entries

Prepare the next step while keeping issuance, approval and contractual decisions under human control.

Module and source availability apply
  • RFI assistance

    Investigate a question using authorized evidence and prepare supported wording or next-step guidance.

  • RFI follow-up draft

    Generate an editable follow-up from the current RFI and workflow record; nothing is automatically sent or issued.

  • Change-review worksheet

    Prepare a structured review draft tied to the current record, with missing evidence left visible.

  • Daily narrative assistance

    Rewrite submitted daily notes into an editable narrative with fact-preservation checks.

  • Submittal preparation support

    Use cited assistance to prepare questions and review material alongside the separate accountable submittal workflow.

  • Notice and correspondence preparation

    Use supported drafting assistance with authorized context; review the controlling clauses and factual basis before use.

  • Living Project investigation drafts

    Prepare source-linked drafts from selected evidence gaps for an authorized reviewer.

  • Reusable investigation workflows

    Propose and evaluate bounded read-only investigation patterns from reviewed outcomes before owner activation.

  • Formal-action separation

    An AI draft or recommendation does not itself approve a submittal, close an inspection, issue a notice or change the contract.

A follow-up template is not an autonomous legal analysis. Autonomous bid-protest issuance and a comprehensive automated technical submittal compliance matrix are not delivered claims.

Source and availability details ↗
TRACE AI: risk and forward workload 10 entries

Interpret recorded project conditions and make missing inputs visible.

Module and source availability apply
  • Project risk assessment

    Review supported project risk evidence, record context and identified gaps.

  • Confidential forward look

    Show cumulative 7-, 14- and 30-day RFI/submittal review due horizons in the authorized confidential assessment.

  • Overdue and aging work

    Identify overdue, undated and aged actions without inventing missing deadlines.

  • Separate workflow histories

    Keep RFI and submittal completion rates separate, respecting current route cycles and parallel approvals.

  • Conditional backlog scenarios

    Estimate remaining review workload only when the required positive completion history exists for each active record type.

  • Data sufficiency gates

    Require at least eight positive completions spanning three of four weeks for each active type; return unavailable when the evidence is insufficient.

  • Completion quality filters

    Exclude returned, rejected and future completions from the positive completion basis.

  • Schedule readiness signals

    Highlight missing or stale accepted schedule evidence.

  • Refresh-time operational feeds

    Read current structured workflow and schedule records when the assessment refreshes.

  • Scope and privacy controls

    Keep confidential forecasts out of shared/compact views and reject results for a previously selected project or period.

These are descriptive workload scenarios, not trained delay probabilities, proof of physical progress, legal causation or a guarantee of future performance.

Source and availability details ↗
TRACE AI: visual field-to-plan review 9 entries

Use selected images and a specific plan page to prepare a traceable visual review.

Module and source availability apply
  • Photo and plan inputs

    Submit supported field images and select the relevant PDF plan page for comparison.

  • Exact revision and page binding

    Bind the review to the source plan revision and selected page rather than an unspecified drawing set.

  • Multimodal interpretation

    Use the configured vision provider to analyze the selected image evidence and plan page together.

  • Reviewable observations

    Present supported observations, uncertainty and information requiring field confirmation.

  • Evidence-linked persistence

    Retain the source references and review output with the authorized record context.

  • Human review notes

    Add accountable review information rather than treating a visual suggestion as an accepted field determination.

  • Response validation

    Validate the provider's structured response, required shapes and completion state before admitting a result.

  • Protected upload workflow

    Use file and page extraction gates; preserve access boundaries across upload, analysis and replay.

  • Stale-view protection

    Prevent a previous project's visual result from replacing the current view.

Delivered scope is assisted review of selected inputs. Automatic drone-feed monitoring, survey registration, measured alignment deviation, soil-condition diagnosis, automated takeoff from photos and certified installed-work verification are not established.

Source and availability details ↗
TRACE AI: bounded learning and monitoring 11 entries

Improve selected workflows through measured, controlled changes rather than autonomous foundation-model training.

Module and source availability apply
  • Scheduled failure capture

    Collect bounded failure signals into private, scoped evaluation curricula.

  • Data-minimized curricula

    Use run references rather than publishing raw customer questions into shared learning material.

  • Curated vocabulary candidates

    Evaluate fixed retrieval aliases for the original public workflow guides.

  • Held-out evaluation

    Compare a candidate on separate labeled cases before activating it.

  • Regression protection

    Require preservation of previously passing cases for the eligible vocabulary candidate.

  • Experiment identity

    Avoid repeatedly tuning identical experiments against the same holdout; reject stale fingerprint selections.

  • Reviewed outcomes

    Record source-versioned human outcomes for selected administrative findings.

  • Calibration candidates

    Evaluate selected priority/calibration changes against later, different records before owner activation.

  • Reusable skill candidates

    Test bounded investigation patterns before activating supported read-only workflows.

  • Opt-in continuous watch

    Process bounded scans, retain progress and recover eligible stalled work with retries, pause and health information.

  • Owner control

    Require the applicable authorization for activation, monitoring and return to baseline.

No autonomous model-weight training or unrestricted self-modifying code is deployed. Continued improvement needs maintained sources, new validated candidates and evaluation; it is not guaranteed every day or year.

Source and availability details ↗
TRACE AI: expanded interpretation, research and proof 15 entries

Deployed additions verified in the interpretation, schedule-reasoning, research and RFI release records.

Module and source availability apply
  • Informal question interpretation

    Handle typos, shorthand, alternate meanings and standard-family hypotheses while retaining the original question.

  • Bounded multi-aspect investigation

    Consider sequence, staging/access, crews, equipment, procurement, temporary works, testing holds, permits, handoffs, mitigation and counterevidence when supported.

  • General-reference explanation

    Explain a standard as general guidance without requiring project adoption; keep binding project determinations separate.

  • No-match research fallback

    Eligible general questions may continue to official public research when related local passages still cannot answer the question.

  • Advanced research fallback

    The documented difficult-general-research fallback uses gpt-6-astra after the primary provider cannot release a cited answer; this is an application component, not a TRACE-trained foundation model.

  • Citation validation

    Validate citation ranges and Unicode offsets; reject incomplete provider output and unsupported assertions rather than releasing partial text as verified.

  • Truthful research history

    Distinguish research actually attempted from a setting merely being enabled; record provider usage and cost.

  • Schedule evidence context

    Provide authorized baseline/latest revision, disposition history, methodology, bounded activities/relationships, import assumptions and exact-version comparisons.

  • Competing delay explanations

    Examine overlapping delays, mitigation and completion impact; distinguish calendar days from working-time float and request missing CPM evidence.

  • Saved Office chart extraction

    Read saved XLSX/PPTX chart series, categories, values, labels, number formats and formula references. Do not evaluate formulas or follow external links.

  • Exact RFI conversation binding

    Load subject, question and references from the authorized RFI ID; preserve linked follow-ups only while that project and RFI remain active.

  • Public proof tools

    Show proof, collect all eligible references, prevent duplicates and print answer proofs through an in-app preview.

  • Direct proof PDF download

    Export supported complete text, tables, technical symbols, citations and eligible original source-page images without depending on the browser print dialog.

  • Mixed proof identity

    Reauthorize indexed passages; distinguish archived source evidence from public URL references that have not been archived.

  • Request replay protection

    Serialize/replay eligible requests by authenticated user and submission key; reject key reuse for a changed question and avoid duplicate model calls.

Known limits include intermittent P6 answer-release failures, variable research latency, and saved chart caches that can be stale. These are not guarantees of universal answer accuracy.

Source and availability details ↗
Living Project: detailed reviewed-learning controls 11 entries

Implemented opt-in administrative improvement; activation and usable evidence are prerequisites.

Module and source availability apply
  • In-project reviewed outcomes

    Retain explicit source-versioned human adjudications and append-only corrections within the project.

  • Chronological source-disjoint evaluation

    Evaluate on later unseen records rather than reusing the same source in training and testing.

  • Reviewer diversity gates

    Apply minimum distinct-record and reviewer-diversity/concentration requirements before eligible candidate promotion.

  • Baseline and incumbent comparison

    Compare eligible ranking candidates against baseline/current behavior, including per-kind regression and Brier-score checks.

  • Bounded learning history

    Refuse candidate promotion from truncated history beyond the supported 2,000-review cap.

  • Correction invalidation

    Invalidate dependent learning when source evidence is corrected or access is revoked.

  • Owner promotion and rollback

    Keep candidate activation explicit and permit return to the baseline.

  • Declarative skill proposals

    Propose read-only investigation patterns from repeated substantiated outcomes; test later reviewed records before owner activation.

  • Resumable monitoring

    Use bounded source generations, durable cursors, fenced leases and atomic finding/checkpoint writes.

  • Fair scheduling and suspension

    Process due projects with fresh authorization, retry/pause behavior and owner opt-out; do not treat platform support as unattended authority.

  • Uncertainty-reduction scenario

    Compare supported paired readiness/duration scenarios and identify the next fact that reduces remaining uncertainty.

Learning currently covers selected administrative RFI/submittal finding kinds. Metrics are observational and exposure-biased, not foundation-model retraining, physical verification or guaranteed improvement.

TRACE AI: deeper evidence and learning architecture 13 entries

Detailed implementation distinctions retained from the AI audit.

Module and source availability apply
  • Deterministic clarification

    Offer bounded follow-up choices for broad construction questions without reading private evidence or spending model tokens.

  • Structured field-day evidence

    Retrieve authorized daily, job-walk, quality, safety and time-record facts with operational citations.

  • Sourced contract clocks

    Include clock settings only with explicit source, day count and working/calendar basis; do not substitute unsourced settings for contract terms.

  • Authority, applicability and operativity

    Distinguish retrieval relevance from controlling authority, effective time, jurisdiction, project area/system/phase and amendment effects.

  • Qualifying evidence lanes

    Retain exceptions, conditions, alternatives and supersession alongside direct matches; a classifier alone does not establish a legal conflict.

  • Optional exact-evidence review

    A separately configured reviewer can assess a draft against its cited passages without browsing, retrieving new evidence, adding citations or executing actions.

  • Private shadow curriculum

    Capture corrections, rejections, no-match and escalation signals into a scoped curriculum. This shadow layer does not itself change live answers.

  • Measured public-guide retrieval improvement

    A fixed 31-alias candidate improved one small held-out top-topic evaluation from 14/18 to 15/18 while preserving eligible passing cases; this is not general answer accuracy.

  • Fingerprint-bound retrieval activation

    Bind eligible activation to pack, dataset, algorithm and registry identities; corrupt or stale state falls back to baseline.

  • Route-aware workload counting

    Count any-one review groups once at the earliest due action, all-required groups separately, and exclude inactive future steps.

  • Recovery semantics gate

    The resource-recovery planner supports bounded unstarted fixed-duration DAGs with FS/nonnegative lag and ASAP/SNET releases plus explicit calendars. Unsupported SS/FF/SF, actual progress, splitting, overtime and inferred productivity are refused.

  • Narrative fact preservation

    Rewrite supplied daily notes in English or Spanish while preserving facts, numbers, negations and uncertainty; do not add unsupported blame or causation.

  • Provider-team distinction

    Gemini, Grok and Claude consultations helped development reviews; they are not established as a three-provider vote on every customer answer.

Reference extraction is automated rather than named human fidelity review. Attempted but blocked GAO, OSHA 3886 and USACE CQM source downloads were not ingested. UFS is a nonmandatory reference and UFGS documents are templates requiring tailoring/adoption.

Source and availability details ↗
Internal TRACE viewer and controller 14 entries

Integrated customer-panel viewing and review controls; original source files remain preserved.

Module and source availability apply
  • Internal document viewer

    Open supported authorized PDF/image documents inside TRACE, navigate available pages and download the original.

  • Internal CAD workspace

    Choose a current-project DWG and exact version, then open the converted drawing inside BIM without requiring an external CAD application for the supported review functions.

  • Internal 2D controller

    Select entities, search source handles, pan, zoom, fit, switch layers, restore converted visibility, add notes, draw polylines and measure approximate XY distances.

  • Internal XYZ controller

    Orbit, pan, zoom and fit source XYZ line/point geometry; apply explicit Z-range, zero-Z and vertical-display controls. The 2D layer switches do not automatically filter this XYZ view.

  • Internal solid-surface controller

    Select one actual POINT layer, build the shaded surface, inspect low/high colors, toggle points/wireframe and apply maximum-edge and display-scale controls.

  • Internal IFC controller

    Use object tree/search, picking, selected-object fit, isolation/show-all, top/front orthographic views, isometric perspective, X/Y/Z section cuts, wireframe and reset.

  • Source/geometry distinction

    IFC-derived GLB is served as a checked derivative; this does not establish arbitrary public GLB/glTF upload support or automatic mapping of every mesh to an IFC element.

  • Coordinate/reference controller

    Select actual points or separate block anchors, inspect original XYZ, export/print chosen rows and label a selected actual point as an unverified reference marker.

  • Version and integrity controller

    Bind viewing, annotations, evidence links and geometry to source/version fingerprints; reject stale or mismatched outputs.

  • Review and publication controller

    Apply current source cleanliness, status, license and actor permissions; IFC publication and provisional CAD review remain distinct workflows.

  • Conversion controller

    Dispatch bounded native extraction, use private identity-bound caches, report supported/omitted geometry and recheck access after processing.

  • Print/export controller

    Prepare supported drawing, elevation, surface, coordinate and document-page outputs with applicable source identity, units and display settings.

  • Format boundaries

    DWG and IFC/IFCZIP have deployed paths. PDF/images use their document/markup paths. Direct richer DXF/3DFACE remains a separate candidate; native RVT/DGN/SKP and arbitrary format conversion are not established.

  • Editing boundaries

    TRACE review annotations do not rewrite the DWG/IFC design. IFC dimensioning, capped section solids, survey-certified benchmarks and approved final grading are not supplied merely by viewing.

This is TRACE's internal review viewer/controller, not a full AutoCAD/Civil 3D/Revit authoring replacement. Section cuts are uncapped; camera ground/shadows are display aids, and geometry completeness remains source-dependent.

Latest AI / operations release: September 9, 2026 8 entries

Implemented release with 155 passing tests: 112 PHP tests (384 assertions), 37 voice tests and six browser fixture tests; TypeScript typecheck also passed.

Module and source availability apply
  • Telephone interruption fix

    The response queue now waits while the caller speaks, coalesces overlapping turns and supports caller interruption. The user reported the real-call test passed as natural and responsive.

  • Source-specific research

    Explicit official-source requests bypass the original workflow-guide shortcut; literal exclusions of project records are respected while private identifier protections remain in place.

  • Live official-citation acceptance

    The tested RFI question returned official public-web citations to USACE CQM guidance and Caltrans Source Inspection Guidelines, with no project records used.

  • Immediate support and troubleshooting

    Get help now provides four current workflow guides, typed product guidance, clear source labels, retained inputs/errors and a human-ticket handoff path.

  • Current product guidance

    Web and telephone guidance covers My Apps/App Factory, Undo/Redo, loading, support, training and billing boundaries.

  • Private improvement cycle

    Completed a private cycle containing seven failure signals, two scoped curricula and two new versions. No model weights, live answer behavior or promotion changed; no autonomous training.

  • Billing readiness checks

    A read-only, secret-free check identifies missing merchant credentials, webhook configuration and plan setup. Live paid launch remains blocked pending configuration and financial acceptance.

  • Support interaction isolation

    Support guidance no longer triggers a legacy acceptance toast; topic selection does not approve or seal a project record.

The real-call result is one user-reported acceptance, not two independently identified calls or a statistical audio benchmark. Live research is a tested example, not universal accuracy. Human handoff is a ticket path, not a continuous staffing promise. No live charge, refund or subscription was attempted.

CAD and solid elevation review 19 entries

Deployed customer-panel capabilities added after the earlier public inventory.

Module and source availability apply
  • Automatic CAD availability

    Clean authorized uploaded DWGs appear in the current project BIM CAD workspace.

  • Direct Open CAD

    Open the selected drawing revision from Documents; keep original download and version history available.

  • Review-pending viewing

    Provisional review status no longer alone blocks the CAD viewer; viewing does not approve the source, bypass quarantine or widen access.

  • Native bounded conversion

    Convert supported DWG geometry through an isolated native worker; preserve original source bytes and report unsupported entities and missing references.

  • 2D drawing controls

    Pan, zoom, fit, show/hide layers, restore converted visibility and find/select supported entities.

  • Solid terrain preview

    Build a shaded height-colored triangulated surface from one selected native POINT layer.

  • Low/high color legend

    Show source-elevation ranges with blue lows and gold highs; optional wireframe and source-point overlays.

  • Surface quality controls

    Report zero-Z exclusions, merged duplicates, conflicting-coordinate exclusions and triangle counts; refuse unusable or collinear input.

  • Gap filtering

    Optionally exclude triangles exceeding a selected edge length. Separate point layers are never automatically pooled.

  • Survey point distinction

    Keep actual native POINT coordinates separate from block-insertion anchors; neither is automatically official survey control.

  • Point selection and filtering

    Filter coordinate candidates by layer/block, select rows and retain exact XYZ rather than substituting attribute labels.

  • Selected-point CSV

    Export selected coordinate rows with units, source/version and unverified status; escape spreadsheet-formula strings.

  • Reference marker

    Mark a selected actual POINT with a visible reference label and XYZ; label remains unverified and does not establish an official benchmark.

  • Drawing and surface printing

    Print current 2D, XYZ or solid-surface views and selected coordinate tables with source identity and applied display settings.

  • Context cleanup

    Abort obsolete loads and dispose graphics resources on tenant/project/source changes; recheck access and source integrity.

Solid terrain is interpolated point coverage, not certified final grade. The reviewed grading file has separate point patches and missing references; approved proposed-surface identity, boundaries, breaklines, CRS and datum remain unverified.

  • Turn and response controls

    Manage conversation-turn behavior and response-length settings to reduce interrupted or unfinished speech.

  • Privacy-safe timing diagnostics

    Collect timing/completion telemetry for audio-gap diagnosis without recording audio or transcript text in that diagnostic.

  • Versioned gateway deployment

    The current operations/help gateway passed 37 voice tests and TypeScript checks. Its audio/queue code matches the real-call-tested version.

The earlier interruption issue is superseded by the documented fix and user-reported natural, responsive real-call result. Device, network and conversation conditions still affect call quality.

Development candidates and roadmap — NOT generally deployed 12 entries

Include these in a development roadmap, not an available-feature sales list.

Development / release pending
  • Universal approval evidence gates

    Additional bid-award, takeoff, accounting-exchange, lien-release and stop-notice gate code has test evidence; the full contract-system package remains undeployed.

  • Expanded contract and procedure controls

    Candidate customer device recovery/revocation, reviewed-procedure activation/drafting/retirement and jurisdiction-pack validation require remaining release gates.

  • Approved jurisdiction packs

    Validation machinery does not supply approved legal rule content; authoritative pack review remains outstanding.

  • Richer direct-face DXF path

    Separate POINT/LINE/3DFACE parser, isolated socket/Docker bridge and crash-recovery workflow passed disposable integration acceptance; permanent deployment is not established.

  • Broader regional recovery

    Later staging authentication, encrypted backup/restore and scoped regional-independence tests exist; complete current-region production failover is not accepted.

  • Native Revit and federation

    Licensed native translation, multi-model federation and cross-source coordinate reconciliation remain advanced integration work.

  • 4D and 5D intelligence

    Model-linked schedule playback, cost exposure, trade/zone capacity and richer package/procurement readiness remain roadmap scope beyond bounded delivered tools.

  • Calibrated predictive models

    Trained, prospectively validated delay/cost probabilities require suitable outcome data and validation; workload scenarios are not those probabilities.

  • Autonomous reality capture

    Continuous drone feeds, photo-to-3D reconstruction, calibrated field-to-plan deviation measurements and certified visual takeoff remain unestablished.

  • Full operational digital twin

    Automatic asset/BIM identity mapping, sensor-based physical-state simulation and municipal lifecycle synchronization remain incomplete.

  • General regulator synchronization

    Live CSLB/DIR/wage and broad jurisdiction feeds remain separate from the limited delivered permit adapter.

  • Unrestricted self-learning and repair

    Autonomous model-weight training, arbitrary executable self-modification and universal automatic infrastructure repair are not delivered capabilities.

Some staging/candidate areas continue to change. Only a scoped acceptance/deployment receipt can promote their availability status.

Advanced contract AI and evidence candidates — release pending 6 entries

Additional detailed development scope found in the separate contract-system candidate; not advertised as deployed.

Development / release pending
  • Transactional evidence decisions

    Candidate bridges formal record actions to required evidence checks and exercises correction-versus-approval contention.

  • Contract provenance journal

    Candidate journal, evidence-policy configuration, signed receipts and independent review.

  • Signed offline capture

    Candidate device enrollment/revocation, signed local queues, pinned receipt keys, encrypted backup/recovery, quarantine and independent review.

  • Extended schedule semantics

    Candidate working-day and relationship-lag calendars, progress methodology, remaining durations and cited scenario packets.

  • Reviewed procedure lifecycle

    Candidate procedural suggestions, held-out evaluation, explicit activation/retirement and unsent record-specific checklists.

  • Portable project evidence archive

    Candidate whole-project record/file registry, credential exclusion, original-byte checks, signed coverage manifest and independent verifier.

Passing isolated tests does not establish release completion. Approved jurisdiction content, broad portal coverage, archive/schema reconciliation and migration rehearsal remain governed release requirements.
