Operating boundary

Assistance stays accountable.

Built for project boundaries, client confidentiality, technical review, and repeatable evidence across proposals and delivery work.

The reviewer owns the decision

Sotaire supports research, analysis, drafting, and triage. Authorized professionals remain accountable for the final work.

Answers depend on approved sources

Citations make the source trail visible; missing, stale, or inaccessible material still requires human judgment.

Tools stay within configured scope

Repositories, integrations, and actions are enabled for the deployment rather than assumed to be universally available.

Use cases

High-value work, kept inside the boundary.

These workflows are tuned for civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, environmental, and multi-discipline engineering firms.

How tailoring works
Standards and spec retrieval

Find the right section, tolerance, design note, or client requirement with cited answers.

Proposal knowledge reuse

Draft pursuit language from approved project examples, resumes, and technical approaches.

RFI and submittal review

Summarize context, compare related documents, and prepare review notes for engineers.

Lessons learned search

Turn closed-project history into an internal knowledge base teams can actually query.

Workflow

From controlled knowledge to reviewed output.

The deployment rhythm stays consistent: scope the data, retrieve with evidence, and route consequential work through the accountable people.

01
Project workspace setup

Separate each project by client, discipline, users, files, and approved knowledge sources.

02
Technical retrieval

Index drawings text, specifications, reports, calculations, and standards into cited search.

03
Review handoff

Send drafts, summaries, and risk notes to designated reviewers before they reach clients.

Integration layer

Built around the systems your team already trusts.

Sotaire connects approved repositories, templates, exports, and policy sources while preserving the local network boundary.

Project folders
SharePoint exports
Standards libraries
Proposal archives
Dedicated hardware

One customer environment per deployment.

Scoped retrieval

Answers come from approved local sources.

Brokered access

Only explicit external paths are allowed.

Review evidence

Prompts, sources, and approvals stay auditable.

Engineering FAQ

Questions before scoping.

A few practical answers for teams deciding whether private AI belongs inside their workflow.

Yes. Deployments can ingest PDFs, reports, specifications, and text extracted from project materials for cited retrieval.
