What it doesProject controls and schedule analytics platform that connects to existing CPM scheduling software and runs what the vendor calls Automated Project Controls: schedule quality checks, progress against baselines, delay and compression metrics, and windows analysis (a customer quote says this went from weeks to minutes or hours; customer claim, not verified). Company, executive, and project dashboards plus a web-based Gantt. Procore integration is mentioned in a customer quote. The homepage does not describe the product as AI, so we tag it Not AI-first.AI construction risk platform. CrunchAI reviews project documents and contracts and surfaces risk (e.g. flow-down clauses) with citations to the source. Project Assist is described as an agentic layer for submittals, notices, and RFIs, and for asking questions across contracts, specs, and addenda. Vendor says findings are cited, knowledge carries from pre-con to the field, and contracts stay with the customer (SOC 2 by default). Use cases listed across pursuit (auto redlining, version compare), pre-con (division checklists, contract/spec inconsistencies), and construction (playbooks, project artifacts, mobile access).
