For Contractors, subcontractors and construction counsel
Rebuild the change-order trail before the payment dispute escalates.
Rebuild the change-order trail before the payment dispute escalates.Site instructions, emails, change orders and payment applications disagree about extra work or variation approval.
Costs can be documented without proving entitlement. Missing chronology can also hide when notice or approval was actually given.
A real person scopes, researches, checks and signs off the evidence work. Technology assists; it does not approve findings.
The decision on your desk
Which changed work was instructed, evidenced and claimed for payment?
You have three disputed variations and scattered daily reports, signed forms and progress emails that do not tell one consistent story.
Reduce time reconstructing what happened from scattered correspondence.
Identify the documents necessary for the next negotiation or adviser review.
Keep documented amounts separate from unproven entitlement conclusions.
The actual work
What our people will examine for you.
Each line connects to a material question in your decision. We test what the record supports and what it does not, rather than producing a generic AI summary.
Index each variation and contract instruction to the dated source.
Reconstruct request, approval, execution and invoice events in one timeline.
Link available daily reports, quantities and progress certificates to each disputed item.
Reconcile documented claimed amounts and identifiable reversals or duplicates.
Separate what the record shows from interpretation of contractual entitlement.
Produce a counsel/contract administrator question list and evidence-gap schedule.

Questions that matter to your purchase
Is the $2,950 fee fixed?
It is the proposed standard fee for the defined scope, pending final written commercial approval. We confirm the actual facts, jurisdiction, records, permitted work and final terms in writing before accepting it. We never add unapproved work to the bill.
Can I use my own AI system instead?
You can use AI for a preliminary review. What you commission here is human-directed independent source work, documented contrary-evidence testing, dated attribution, reviewed calculations and a defensible evidence handoff. If your internal process can already do that adequately, there may be no reason to buy this service.
Can you investigate a confidential matter?
Start with a short non-sensitive outline. A human reviewer confirms conflict checks, lawful source access, privacy safeguards and an appropriate transfer method before we receive confidential files.
Can my team use the review repeatedly?
Yes, subject to each matter being accepted. Repeat matters may use a reusable written scope and simpler onboarding, where appropriate. Each matter retains its standard approved fee and separate acceptance; no automatic discount or subscription applies.
