Your nextCritical Issues Analysisdrafted before you open it.
Wetlands, soils, flood zones, species, parcels. The public record for the site, written up with its citations. You review it and sign it.
14-day free trial with 2 report credits. No card needed.
4.3 Flood zones
Every value cited
Each figure names the agency source it came from.
Nothing invented
No fieldwork, signatures or risk scores it didn’t get from you.
Gaps shown, never hidden
A silent record is a question for your team, not “no impact”.
Days of desktop work, done before you sit down
01
Research that runs itself
Every source the chosen reports need is queried for the site and its study radius, and the answers stay on file with the project.
20report types and letters
02
Drafts you can defend
Each figure names its agency source. Desktop data is labelled as mapped data. Unknowns come back as questions, not as zero risk.
14project types, from solar to transmission
03
One project, every stage
Due diligence, field studies, then permitting and construction, all on the same site, research and survey record. Nothing re-entered.
3stages, one workspace
Everything a project needs, in one place
Due diligence is where it starts. The rest of the work lives here too, so nothing is re-entered and nothing gets lost between tools.
Pick the reports. The research and the first draft come back together.
Place the site once. Everything the chosen reports need is researched for the site and its study radius, and each draft comes back with its maps, tables, appendices and citations.
- Draw the boundary, upload a KML, KMZ, shapefile or GeoJSON, or pick parcels by address, number or owner.
- Every value names its source, and desktop data says it is mapped data.
- When project details change, the drafts that depend on them are marked for an update.

Your clients’ projects, kept apart and kept safe
Consulting work is confidential. The workspace is built around that.
Walls between firms
Every request is checked against your firm and your role, and the database itself keeps each firm’s data apart.
Kept in the United States
The application, its database, files and encrypted backups stay on servers in the United States.
Encrypted
Every connection is encrypted, backups are encrypted, and connected-app keys are encrypted for each firm separately.
Files checked for viruses
Every uploaded file is checked before anyone can open or download it.
Two-step sign-in
Authenticator apps and passkeys on every plan. On Firm and Enterprise, owners can require it for everyone; Enterprise adds single sign-on.
A history nobody edits
Changes, approvals, exports and deletions are recorded in an activity log your firm can review.
Pay for the reports you send
Plans come with monthly report credits. A report uses credits once, at its first client export. Drafts, re-runs and new versions are free.
