A passive intelligence layer that attaches to your existing systems — email, contracts, calendar, Teams — and continuously watches for what matters without asking anyone to change how they work.
The numbers that matter
of engineering projects experience scope creep — almost always starting as a verbal agreement in a meeting, a call, or a corridor conversation. By the time it hits the budget, the margin is gone.

average net margin for European engineering contractors. One informal scope commitment, one missed certification, one cooling client relationship is enough to erase the year's profit on a project.

The real problem
The ERP records the cost overrun. The cause happened three months earlier, in an email thread, a site call, a Friday afternoon verbal agreement. By the time the system shows it, the decisions that caused it are long gone.
Four active projects. A client call on Friday afternoon. Additional scope agreed verbally — “we’ll sort the paperwork Monday.” Monday comes and goes. Three months later, the margin dispute lands and nobody can reconstruct what was said or when.
Some PMs make themselves the single point of access to a client. They manage what leadership sees. Verbal agreements the company doesn’t know about. When they leave or burn out, the client relationship leaves with them.
See it in action
Any signal. Every gap surfaced.
Passive intelligence reading your email metadata, contracts, calendar, and meeting transcripts — cross-referencing against your obligations continuously. It does not wait for you to ask.
"Subject pattern: additional cable routing trajectory. Calendar: 47-min call, client site. No change order created in the 5 days following."
What it protects
Obligations monitored continuously — certifications, contract clauses, regulatory requirements. Gaps surface automatically. Nobody has to remember to check. The brain never forgets.
Client cooling and PM burnout detected through behavioural signals — response latency, CC patterns, communication breadth, language drift. No questionnaire. No self-reporting. Just honest signals.
Private pilot — by invitation
We’re piloting with a select group of engineering contractors in Belgium. A short conversation to see if there’s a fit. No demo environment — real data, real gaps, real signals.
