7 pilot-ready pathsBest for: Service upgrades, panel swaps, branch circuits, and standard residential electrical work.
Why it matters: Shows what true same-day permit issuance looks like on a high-volume permit type.
Best for: Rear-yard fences, standard residential replacement, and simple enclosure work.
Why it matters: Shows how code thresholds can be enforced instantly and explain why exceptions trigger review.
Best for: Residential roof-mounted solar arrays on standard structures.
Why it matters: Shows how prescriptive projects can be filtered into a fast lane without overclaiming on complex installations.
Best for: Simple residential interior remodels under FIR thresholds.
Why it matters: Shows how the platform can prevent ineligible projects from entering the wrong queue.
Best for: Detached, attached, or internal ADUs on residential lots.
Why it matters: Shows how the platform reduces back-and-forth on one of Portland's most visible housing workflows.
Best for: Room additions, garage conversions, major residential alterations, and footprint expansion.
Why it matters: Shows how structured intake and clear checklists reduce the most common residential correction loops.
Best for: Interior commercial build-outs, new tenant spaces, and moderate code/life-safety review.
Why it matters: Shows how the platform can make commercial intake more legible without pretending expert review disappears.
Highest leverage now: address-first property workflow, trade permits, fence, solar, FIR, and residential readiness tooling.
What doesn't need deep integration: property search, zoning context, fee and timeline guidance, packet readiness, project briefs, and applicant routing.
What still requires city systems: official submission, payment of city fees, inspections, issuance, and any statutory hearing process.
Start with an address to pull zoning, permit history, and site constraints into one place.
Choose a project path and see the likely permit route, timeline, fees, and supporting permits.
Run the submission-readiness checklist before anything enters a city queue.
Auto-approve straightforward paths where coded thresholds pass, or route clean packets into staff review.
Generate a project brief that an applicant, reviewer, or director can actually forward around.
The product is strongest today as a front door, readiness engine, and fast-lane workflow for simple permits.
It does not claim to eliminate public hearings, utility dependencies, or expert judgment on complex projects.
That credibility is part of the pitch, not a weakness in it.
Open a property, choose a permit path, and generate a brief you can forward internally.
