Candid Intelligence provides an AI‑assisted engineering platform that automates specification parsing, document management, and risk identification for FEL/FEED projects in data centers and energy infrastructure. By linking source documents, logic, and approvals with traceable, audit‑ready outputs and role‑based access controls, it compresses pre‑construction timelines from months to days while improving cost, schedule, and scope certainty.

Problem
Engineering firms and owner‑operators of data centers and energy infrastructure face lengthy FEED (Front End Engineering Design) cycles that can take months, leading to delayed final investment decisions (FID), high rework costs, and uncertainty in cost, schedule, and scope.
Solution
Candid Intelligence offers an AI‑assisted engineering platform that automates specification parsing, document management, and risk identification across FEL/FEED projects. By linking source documents, logic, and approvals, the system provides traceable outputs that satisfy lenders and regulators while preserving data privacy through cloud or on‑premise deployment. The platform surfaces scope gaps, long‑lead risks, and early feasibility signals, enabling rapid go/no‑go decisions and more accurate cost and schedule forecasts. Role‑based permissions ensure that executives, engineers, EPC partners, and other stakeholders see only the information they are authorized to access. This accelerates pre‑construction timelines from months to days, reduces FEED spend, and improves confidence in FID decisions.
Target Audience
Primary customers are owner‑operators and engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) firms developing data centers and large‑scale energy infrastructure projects.
