AI for permits

Get a clearer view of permit applications more quickly using set assessment criteria.

Permit applications and attachments vary in structure, while reviewers need to check the same types of information each time. AI analyses applications against a defined set of questions and presents relevant passages for further review.

From an isolated possibility to a useful application

The application only becomes meaningful when it aligns with a specific task and the information available to carry it out.

The application supports the process; it does not automatically take over formal decisions. That is why we define in advance what the solution should and should not do, how the outcome will be checked and who remains responsible.

What you gain

Less manual reading

The application finds and structures information related to recurring questions and checks.

The same criteria as a starting point

Documents are analysed against predefined questions and assessment criteria.

More attention to exceptions

Staff have more time to consider context, deviations and the final judgement.

Our approach

  1. Define the assessment questions

    We determine which information or criteria should appear in every document.

  2. Review documents and examples

    We assess variation, quality and representative real-world scenarios.

  3. Set up the analysis

    We develop the application for the selected questions and outputs.

  4. Validate the results

    Subject-matter experts compare the analyses with the source material and the current way of working.

  5. Integrate and monitor

    We integrate the application into the process and monitor quality after it goes live.

Designed to fit your organisation

This service is relevant to municipalities, provinces and organisations that issue permits. The exact setup depends on the process, the available data and the risks involved in its use.

We therefore start with a clearly defined application and only expand it once the initial setup works in practice.

Frequently asked questions

This service addresses the following challenge: AI analyses applications using predefined questions and presents relevant passages for further review. Exactly how it works depends on the process and the available data.

The service may be relevant to municipalities, provinces and organisations that issue permits. A specific need and usable information matter more than the size of the organisation.

That depends on the chosen application. We start with the question you need to address, then determine which data or sources are necessary and suitable.

No. For fixed, predictable tasks, conventional automation may be enough. We choose the simplest approach that addresses the challenge effectively and add complexity only when needed.

We define the scope of the application, check the results with users and put appropriate controls in place. After deployment, we monitor how it works and adapt the solution when the data, its use or the context changes.
