Meet Clara.
Your AI permitting consultant.
Prevent delays. Save millions. Make permitting predictable.
Built by a team of Stanford infrastructure and AI experts, Clara drafts permitting due diligence reports for asset developers and infrastructure investors.

Know the permitting and community risk before you commit capital
Clara analyzes local and state records to help your team do due diligence on project locations.
She reads:
- zoning codes and overlays
- staff reports and hearing transcripts
- prior project applications and outcomes
- moratoria, appeals, and conditions of approval
She then compares your project to what has already happened in that same place. You see which similar projects were approved, which were delayed or denied and the specific reasons given.
The output is a diligence memo your team can use to decide whether to proceed or walk away.

Three steps to a decision-ready report
Local government data capture
Clara collects and structures records from the specific cities and counties that control your site. This includes planning commission agendas, staff reports, zoning codes, development agreements and past permit applications.
Project-level analysis
Your project details are compared against past applications in the same jurisdiction. Clara looks for patterns such as what was approved, what was rejected and what conditions were imposed.
Diligence memo
Clara writes a report for your project that covers zoning compliance, approval risk, political and community friction points, and practical next steps for your development team.
