Problem
Engineering and environmental consultancies face significant time and effort burdens when producing technical reports and assessments for planning submissions, which require extensive research, evidence gathering, and site constraint mapping. Councils and risk-management authorities also struggle to efficiently review these complex submissions across disciplines such as flood risk and transport, often leading to delays and increased costs.
Solution
Stratum offers an AI-powered platform designed for the technical work behind planning submissions, covering research, drafting, mapping, and review. Users upload project context, and the platform helps gather evidence, structure research, map site constraints, and draft technical content across multiple disciplines. The platform also supports the review process for councils and risk-management authorities, with every conclusion automatically cited to source evidence for full traceability. Qualified users retain responsibility for professional judgement and final approval, ensuring the AI acts as an assistive tool rather than a replacement for expertise.
Target Audience
Primary users are engineering and environmental consultancies that produce technical reports and assessments, as well as councils and risk-management authorities that review planning submissions.
