Document intelligence for high-consequence engineering

Every document is supposed to agree. We find where they don't.

TrueLumen reads your drawings, specs, studies, and contracts as one body of work — then shows you every place they disagree, with the evidence cited, side by side.

3.1Capacity. The System shall have an aggregate nameplate alternating-current capacity of not less than one hundred eighty (180) MWac measured at the Point of Interconnection.

3.2Inverters. The System shall comprise sixteen (16) inverter units of the make and model set forth in Exhibit O, each rated not less than 4.2 MVA continuous at 35 °C ambient, arranged in accordance with the Collection System design.

3.3Substitution. No substitution of the units specified in Section 3.2 shall be made without the prior written consent of Owner.

Partners

Built with the people who set the bar.

We co-develop TrueLumen with a global energy leader and the venture studio behind some of the most rigorous applied-AI companies.

Design partner

A global energy company building and operating power at utility scale. TrueLumen is co-developed with AES engineering teams reviewing gigawatt-scale renewable projects — the sharpest version of the problem we solve, where a hidden discrepancy becomes costly rework, a schedule slip, or a safety failure once the plant is energized.

Their reviews set our bar for precision, and every capability is validated against real design sets before it ships.

Venture partner

The venture studio founded by Andrew Ng. TrueLumen is built and backed by AI Fund, which co-builds AI companies from the ground up — bringing the technical depth, operating discipline, and go-to-market rigor behind a portfolio of applied-AI businesses.

Their product bar shaped our core: evidence-grounded reasoning that earns trust in rooms where being wrong is expensive.

The problem

The disagreement is silent.

A gigawatt-scale project lives in hundreds of drawings, datasheets, and specifications that are all contractually obligated to agree. They often don't — and nobody notices. The mistake is cheap to fix on the page and ruinous to fix in the field: a change order, weeks of rework, at worst a safety failure once the plant is energized.

A single missed decimal nearly triggered a near-million-dollar order for equipment that was never needed.
One near-miss, caught by hand

Today the only thing standing between a buried mismatch and the field is the reviewing engineer — reading hundreds of pages one at a time, inside a ten-day window. It leaves no record, can't be verified, and gets harder every year as the volume of review races ahead of a shrinking pool of senior engineers.

How it works

Comprehend, reason, ground.

Three things, in order — and it never asserts anything it can't trace to a source.

01

Comprehends every document

Prose, tables, diagrams, scans — the meaning, not just the text. A value on a drawing lands in context, not as a floating number.

02

Reasons across the whole set

What agrees, what conflicts, what supersedes. Every check is held to the version of record — the signed contract, the governing code cycle — never just the latest file in the folder.

Grounds every answer in evidence

Each flag carries a one-click citation to the source that governs it. Open it, check it, defend it in the room. Nothing is asserted that can't be traced.

Why teams trust it

In high-consequence work, an answer you can't check is worthless.

Four commitments hold on every review. Here's what each one looks like in practice.

Surface, never decide

It points out that two numbers disagree. It never overrules your engineer or declares a rule broken.

What it writesConductor on E-114 is 350 kcmil; the ampacity study (tbl 3) gives 500 kcmil for this run.
What it never writesE-114 violates code. Change the conductor to 500 kcmil.

High-certainty only

Low-volume, high-value comments — never a 275-item laundry list. Below the precision floor, you don't see it.

Works where your documents already live.

TrueLumen reads from your systems of record and hands back the artifact your team already exchanges — a cited comment log, on day one of the review window.

Security & data

Built for confidential work.

Your contracts and design data are the most sensitive documents on the project. They're treated that way.

Read-only

TrueLumen stores insight and cited evidence — never a copy of your document repository.

Hosted on Google Cloud

Runs in a dedicated cloud tenancy behind two-factor access.

Never trains a model

Your data is used to answer your questions — it never trains any model, ours or anyone's.

Isolated per customer

Every customer's documents and licensed standards stay walled off from every other.

Who it's for

Wherever right and wrong are objective, and being wrong is expensive.

We're co-built with teams reviewing gigawatt-scale energy projects — the sharpest version of the problem. From there the path is a single axis: the higher the consequence, the higher the value. Each step is a new customer, not a new product.

FAQ

Questions engineers ask first.

Does TrueLumen make engineering decisions?
No. It surfaces where documents disagree and cites the governing source. It never overrules your engineer, declares a rule broken, or tells you what to change. The engineer of record keeps all judgment and all liability.
Where does our data go — and does it train a model?
TrueLumen reads your documents from your own systems and runs in a dedicated Google Cloud tenancy behind two-factor access. Your data is used only to answer your questions. It never trains any model, and each customer's data and licensed standards are isolated from every other.
Do we have to move our documents into TrueLumen?
No. It's read-only insight on top of Procore, Box, SharePoint, and Bluebeam — never a new repository. Nothing moves, nothing migrates, and there's nothing to rip out later.
How accurate is it? Won't it flood us with false flags?
It surfaces only high-certainty comments — low-volume and high-value, never a 275-item laundry list. Everything below the precision threshold is suppressed, and every review states what was and wasn't checked so you're never guessing about coverage.
What does it check against?
The version of record — the signed contract and the governing code cycle — never just the latest file in the folder. Every flag is matched to the document that actually governs it.
Who is it for today?
Engineering teams reviewing high-consequence, gigawatt-scale energy projects. From there we expand along a single axis — the higher the consequence of being wrong, the higher the value — into EPCs, independent engineers, and other regulated fields.
