Company intelligence for engineering & construction
Your Best Expert On Every Project.
Marshal captures the judgment your senior people carry in their heads while they work, and hands it to your juniors as pre-filled drafts, margin comments and grounded answers. Not a chatbot. Not a document store.
Watch a decision get captured, filed, and handed over.
I represent the Package 4 estimate on Riverside. Check the contingency against our last three projects, flag anything that needs an RFI before award, and draft the margin note in the estimator's voice.
01 The problem
Every retirement is an unplanned data deletion.
The people who know why the last three projects came in on margin are leaving. Their reasoning was never written down, because they stopped noticing they knew it. Move the year and watch what goes with them.
The clock starts. Your senior people are still at their desks, still holding the reasoning behind every call.
02 Where it costs
A judgment call you can't explain is a variation you'll have to
When the reasoning behind an estimate walks out the door, the gap shows up later as rework and disputed variations. Size it against your own pipeline.
Illustrative model, not a performance claim. Applies published industry ranges to the figures you set.

03 How it works
Watch. File. Hand over.
Marshal reads the same artifacts your team already works in, reconciles them against each other, and files the decisions it finds, each one traced back to where it came from. Run the capture.
Marshal is built to handle
04 The two-sided loop
The same report. Both sides of the desk.
One captured decision serves two people. The expert sees their own reasoning, filed. The junior sees a recommendation in that expert's voice, with the confidence and the full chain behind it.
05 The context graph
Files tell you what. Only Marshal tells you why.
Underneath every answer is a graph: the experts, the projects, the decisions and the artifacts they came from, all linked. Hover a node to see what it touches.
Grounded answers
A question in. A cited answer out.
When a junior asks, Marshal doesn't guess. It matches the question against the graph, pulls the captured decisions and the artifacts they came from, and answers with every source still attached. Question
06 Results
Software built to be needed less.
The measure of success is a junior who needs Marshal less each quarter, because the reasoning has become theirs. Support falls as competence rises.
Built to cut a junior's time-to-competence on their first cost report by well over half.
07 The line we hold
Marshal never signs the work. Your people do.
The tool is explicit about what it does and does not touch. Judgment, sign-off and accountability stay with the people who hold the licence.
Finding & filing
Reading artifacts, reconciling them, surfacing the decisions inside and keeping every source attached. The clerical work nobody has time for.
Drafting & advising
Pre-filled drafts, recommendations in an expert's voice, grounded answers. Always a starting point, always shown with its reasoning, never the last word.
The signature
Approving, committing, signing. The moments that carry professional and legal accountability stay with your licensed people. Marshal has no authority here, by design.
Founding partner programme
Five places. One cohort.
We are taking five engineering and construction firms into the first cohort. Direct access to the founders, capture set up on a live project, and pricing held for the life of the partnership. We are pre-launch and we would rather earn a handful of partners than sell to a crowd.
