For Construction & contractors

Bids, schedules and budgets that tell the truth early.

The overrun that shows up in month four was visible in month one. Brainis shows it in month one.

A schematic of the surface, not a screenshot.

The problem

Nobody finds the overrun until it's paid for.

Bids are built on last job's numbers, schedules slip a day at a time, and the change order that killed the margin was agreed verbally on site.

Worked example

Catch the overrun in week three, not month four

Committed cost against the bid, checked continuously, with the drift surfaced while it is still fixable.

Every actor is labeled. The steps marked you are the calls Brainis routes to a human; the mission carries the authority for the rest.

How autonomy works

Hard question

Our jobs are all different. Does a system like this fit?

It starts from your jobs, not a template. The state is built from what you actually have - your bids, your costs, your suppliers - and the predictions get sharper on your own record, not on somebody else's industry average.
