“Submit manufacturer’s product data and current welder certifications for all structural connections prior to fabrication.”
Into the register
Welder certifications — structural connections
01General conditions
Every claim carries a citation. If we can’t verify it, we say so.
1.1
Verbatim, verified
Each extracted requirement quotes the book character-for-character and is checked against the page it names — deterministically, after the AI.
1.2
Quarantined, out loud
A quote we couldn’t locate never slips into your register. It lands in its own tray, labelled as unverified, waiting for your eyes.
1.3
You hold the verdict
AI suggests; a person confirms. The register records the human decision — with the AI’s reasoning kept as provenance, never as the ruling.
02Sequence of work
From a 900-page PDF to a working register
- STEP 1
Upload the book
Drop in the spec PDF — scanned pages included. Plinta splits it by CSI section and reads every page, OCR where it has to.
- STEP 2
Review with citations
Work a queue of suggested requirements, each with its quote and page number. Confirm or reject; duplicates are grouped so one obligation is one decision.
- STEP 3
Track to closeout
Statuses, ball-in-court, due dates, revisions, transmittals — the full lifecycle, with an append-only audit trail and Excel export whenever you need it.
03Scope of supply
The register is the beginning, not the product
Compliance checking
Upload the manufacturer’s product data and Plinta checks it against the spec, quoting both sides of every finding. You rule on each one; the register rolls up your verdicts.
Addendum diffing
Upload Addendum 2 and see what changed — the base-book paragraph and the new language, side by side. Nothing is applied to your register without your confirmation, and the addendum is recorded as the cause.
External reviewer links
Send the architect a scoped link — no account needed. They see exactly the items you sent, their decision comes back as a suggestion, and every view is logged with time, IP and user agent.
Due-date digests
One email per person per day: what’s overdue, what’s due this week, across every project. Unassigned items never spam the whole org — they surface on the dashboard instead.
04Protection of work
Bid documents are competitive information
We treat them that way — and we publish what we do and don’t yet do, in plain language.
Read the security page- Row-level tenant isolation, enforced by the database and proven by an automated cross-tenant test suite on every change
- Org-wide two-factor enforcement with a documented break-glass procedure
- An append-only audit trail written in the same transaction as every change — including staff access, visible in your own project trail
- Encrypted at rest (AES-256) and in transit (TLS 1.2+), including worker-to-database traffic
