MANAGE THE PROJECT
Architects lose billable hours answering the same contractor questions over and over. Datum20 lets AI answer them instantly — with citations back to the actual specs and drawings.
Death by a thousand interruptions. Every "what tile goes here?" or "can I substitute this?" pulls an architect off billable work — and firms eat the cost because they can't bill for most of it.
What it does
- Contractors ask questions in a chat interface. Clarity, the AI, answers instantly with citations to the exact spec sheet, drawing sheet, and page.
- When the AI isn't confident, it auto-escalates to the architect as a formal RFI with a generated PDF. The architect's answer is then indexed back so the same question never escalates twice.
- Pre-screens submittals against the project specs and flags discrepancies before the architect opens them.
- Logs every RFI, substitution request, and punch-list item in a Requests Register with status tracking and full response threading — a real system of record, not another email chain.
- Includes a rep-side search layer so manufacturer's reps can find where their products are specified, drawn, or sole-sourced across the document set.
Who it's for
Small and mid-sized architecture firms (5–50 people) doing commercial, institutional, or multi-family residential work. The buyer is the principal or managing partner who cares about recovered billable hours and liability protection. Daily users are project leads and architects of record. Credit-card pricing, not enterprise sales.
How it fits into Stratica20
Datum20 is the middle of the Stratica20 lifecycle — where a won opportunity becomes an active project and where the document trail lives. It hands off to Inventra20 when it's time to capture the asset side and to Relay20 when it's time to execute the move.
