"How accurate is the AI?" is the most common question we get. Here's an honest answer: approximately 70-80% of flagged issues are actionable findings that require attention. That might sound low—but context matters. Here's why this is actually excellent performance.
Issues requiring attention or resolution
Flagged items that aren't actual issues

These numbers are based on customer feedback and internal validation. Accuracy varies by project type, document quality, and the specific disciplines being checked.
At first glance, 80% accuracy might seem low. But consider the alternative:
Without AI, how many of those 80 issues would your team have caught manually? In our experience, even expert reviewers miss significant issues when reviewing hundreds of pages across multiple documents.
We could reduce false positives by being more conservative—only flagging issues we're 99% certain about. But that would mean missing real issues. We err on the side of flagging more, knowing you can quickly dismiss false positives. Missing a real issue costs far more than reviewing a false positive.
Every issue AI flags comes with supporting evidence. You can verify each finding yourself:
Each issue shows exactly where in the documents the conflict was found—the drawing page, the spec section, the code paragraph.
Click through to the source documents. See the exact detail, the exact spec requirement, the exact code citation.
If an issue is a false positive, dismiss it in one click. The system learns from these dismissals to improve over time.
AI flags potential issues; you make the final call. Your professional expertise remains the decision-maker.
Accuracy is constantly improving. Our target is 90%+ actionable findings within the next few weeks. Here's what's driving improvement:
Some issue types have higher accuracy than others:
Think of AI plan checking as a highly capable assistant, not a replacement for expertise:
