AI-Powered Knowledge Management for Engineering Firms

The practice of engineering. Remembered.

Gradeum turns your firm's project files, engineering standards, and permit requirements into a searchable, cited, PE-governed knowledge base. Every answer traces to a source. Every deliverable goes through PE review. Your documents never leave your server.

What Gradeum Does

Built by an engineer, for the way engineers actually work.

01

Document Search

Ask a question in plain English. Get answers pulled from your project documents with every reference traced to source document, page, and section. Your files, not the internet.

02

Standards Lookup

USACE, ASCE, ACI, AISC — searched simultaneously with your firm's indexed files. Dual retrieval from your library and published standards in a single query.

03

Permit Research

Federal, state, and local permit requirements for your project type and jurisdiction. Structured, exportable, and always reviewed by a licensed PE before use.

04

PE-Governed Workflow

QC review, then PE approval with responsible charge declaration. Immutable audit log. Only licensed PEs approve deliverables. The AI assists — your PE decides.

05

Drawing Intelligence

Understands title blocks, general notes, sheet numbers, revisions, and seal status. Engineering context, not just text extraction.

06

Data Stays With You

Your firm's documents never leave your server. Only small text excerpts transit during queries. Never used for AI training. Never shared between clients.

Security and compliance are architecture, not policy.

On-Premise Data Residency

Your documents stay on your server. Architecturally enforced — the system cannot transmit full files.

Immutable Audit Trail

Every PE approval is append-only at the database level. No one can modify or delete records — including Gradeum.

Zero AI Training on Your Data

Firm data is never used to train AI models. Never shared between clients. Never retained after the query.

PE Review on Every Output

Every AI-assisted response carries a mandatory disclaimer and requires PE review before use in any deliverable.

I spent a decade designing port facilities and coastal structures. Engineers spend 20–40% of their time searching for information they already have. I built Gradeum to end that.
