How we check every plan
Every rule comes from TCEQ's permit text. Independent reviewers and automated tests check it, and every plan.
Free. No account, no email.
Key takeaways
- Every rule comes from the permit text, and every quote was checked against it.
- The plan engine is plain code. It matches all 3,645 expected answers in our test set.
- Every plan is checked for every required element before delivery.
- Our checks are independent checks by separate AI reviewers and automated tests.
Where do the rules come from?
We keep a registry of the permit's rules, and every quote in it was checked against the permit text.
A second AI reviewer audited the registry for missed, misread or mis-scoped rules, and then reviewed our fixes.
How was the engine tested?
We wrote 106 test scenarios from the permit with one AI reviewer. A different AI reviewer answered them blind. They agreed on 95% of 3,307 compared fields.
A third pass settled every disagreement with the permit's own words.
The engine matches all 3,645 expected answers. Where a case is ambiguous, it gives the cautious answer and a plain message.
How were whole plans reviewed?
We built ten complete plans for different Texas sites: a custom home, a lot in a subdivision, a retail pad, a church on a steep lot, a mini-storage with a pond, an RV park, a shared plan, an owner with its own plan, a West Texas clinic and a demolition near an impaired bay.
Two AI reviewers on different models read each plan, its map and its inputs the way a TCEQ investigator would, without seeing each other's notes.
The first round found missing or weak parts in every plan. Each finding that came from a product rule was fixed in the product, not only in that plan, and the plans were built again.
After five rounds, both reviewers accept all ten plans once the operator fills in the blanks the plan marks, such as a permit number. One reviewer measured every sediment control against the area draining to it with its own tool.
What is checked on every plan?
The engine is plain code, not an AI prompt, so the same inputs give the same plan. The product contains no AI call.
Before you pay, checks run on the map (down-slope perimeter controls, an exit at the access point, washout placed, and each silt fence run and log row against the area that drains to it, within the limits in TCEQ's RG-348 guidance), the dates and the signer.
Before delivery, a completeness check lists every required element for your site, each with its permit section.
How are public pages checked?
A second AI reviewer fact-checked these pages line by line against the permit and other sources.
What do we never say?
We never claim TCEQ sign-off, engineering, or perfect compliance. You prepare and sign the plan.
