CAPPI is an AI-assisted permitting workflow platform that helps municipal plan reviewers, planners, and permit technicians move commercial and residential permits from submittal to decision faster. The system uploads plan sets, extracts review-ready project facts with source-page references, and runs jurisdiction checklists against the submitted plans, keeping every finding linked to its ordinance source for a defensible audit trail.

Problem
Municipal plan review relies on manual cross-referencing of sprawling building and zoning codes against submitted plan sets, a slow and inconsistent process. Reviewers must determine which code sections apply to a given parcel, locate evidence buried across dozens of sheets, and produce a defensible audit trail when decisions are challenged.
Solution
CAPPI provides an AI-assisted permitting workflow that connects the full review process—from plan set upload to final decision—in a single traceable system. The platform extracts dimensions, notes, and other project facts from uploaded plan sheets, links each fact to its source page, and carries jurisdiction context forward throughout the review. Staff run the municipality's checklist against the plan set, with every requirement tied to its originating code section. Reviewers can resolve exceptions, record judgment calls, and preserve the reasoning behind each outcome in a structured record that city attorneys can later audit.
Target Audience
Primary users are city and county permit staff, including plan reviewers, planners, and permit technicians, along with city attorneys who need to review cited reasoning when permit decisions are appealed.
