The Problem

Permit Delays Start Before Review

Much of the time on a permit goes to intake: checking that plans are complete and that the project fits the rules for that parcel.

Where permitting slows down

  • Plans and drawings checked for completeness by hand
  • Zoning and setback rules looked up parcel by parcel
  • Inspections scheduled by phone and email
  • Applicants calling for status updates
  • Little visibility into where applications stall

What Pulse changes

  • AI reads and validates plans, drawings, and supporting files
  • Zoning and regulatory checks tied to parcel and GIS data
  • Inspection milestones scheduled and tracked automatically
  • Real-time status for applicants
  • Analytics on processing times and bottlenecks
How It Works

From Submission to Issuance

Pulse handles intake and rule checks, so plan reviewers and inspectors start with a complete, compliant file.

Intake

Application Submitted

Applicants submit online or upload documents. Pulse opens a case and checks that every required field and file is present before anything moves forward.

Document AI

Every File Read and Checked

The document processor uses OCR and machine learning to read plans, drawings, and supporting materials, and checks that every required item is present and legible.

Rules Engine

Validated Against the Rules

Applications are checked against zoning and regulatory requirements for the specific parcel, using parcel and GIS data. Discrepancies are flagged before a reviewer sees the file.

Decision Support

Reviewers Decide

Clean applications go straight to a reviewer for approval. Applications with issues are returned with a specific note explaining what to fix, so the applicant can correct it the first time.
