For public agencies. The ledger that survives the records request and the audit.
A city hall, a public safety building, a water treatment plant. Public money, a public contract, and a contractor's report that the council cannot check. This is the agency's own record.
The screen public agencies open first, as it renders in the product. Fictional project.
Where the numbers come from today.
Public agencies adopting CM at risk gain the contractor's early involvement and lose the bid tabulation that used to explain the price. What replaces it is the GMP amendment, the contingency log and the change order register, all written by the construction manager.
The agency's obligation is to account for the money in public. The product gives the agency its own ledger: every draw with a document, every change with a cause and a name, every month with a stored snapshot, and an export in structured data for the auditor and for the records request.
The audit trail: every change to a cause, with the old value, the new value, a name and a time.
Four things that change for public agencies.
A contingency log that carries the document
Each draw records the date, amount, fund, reason, authorizing party and supporting document. A draw without a document is flagged, and the flag is in the monthly report. When the auditor asks why draw 19 has no backup, the ledger already says so.
Cause classification in the public record
On a public job, an unclassified change is an unanswered question in a council meeting. The register lists the open items first, with the days open and the value, and the audit table records who decided each cause and when.
Notice deadlines counted, because the contract counts them
Public contracts carry notice provisions in both directions. The register counts the days remaining on each item and records a missed deadline as missed, with the value it affects. The council sees it before the claim arrives.
Export at any time, in a format the auditor reads
Every ledger exports as structured data. The export is available for the life of the subscription and for sixty days after. The agency's record does not live in the contractor's platform.
Questions public agencies ask
Where is the data hosted?
In the United States, on infrastructure the security page names. Data residency outside the US is not offered in version one.
Is there a public records mode?
The export is the records mode. It produces the ledgers and the audit table as structured files the agency can release under its own rules.
Can a council member have access?
Yes, as a summary scope grant: headline figures and the monthly report, without contingency detail or the audit table.
