Problem

Teams spent weeks digging through local rules, permits, and feasibility factors by hand — slow, easy to miss something, hard to defend.

Before

Regulatory research for renewable and infrastructure sites was manual and fragmented. Findings weren’t structured as checkable claims with sources, so reports were hard to trust and slow to produce.

What we built

A permitting research product:
AI-assisted regulatory analysis
Findings broken into verifiable claims
Claims checked against sources
Assembled into a feasibility report developers can act on
React / TypeScript / Node product surface

Who uses it

Infrastructure and renewable developers and permitting teams preparing site feasibility.

How we worked

Solo tech partner for PermitPal (US infrastructure permitting): product shape, build, and ship — research turned into an operating report product.

Outcome

Regulatory research becomes an evidence-backed feasibility report — claims checked, sources attached — that teams can defend and act on.

Role

Solo tech partner — product + engineering.
