How it decides

You will seal this. Here is how it decides.

You are being asked to trust software with a set you will put your name on. So here is how it decides, and what it hands you so you can check it in one look.

How it decidesM-100

It does arithmetic, not guesswork

Every item is a sum run again, a comparison, or a lookup against a table the jurisdiction published. Only figures the page actually prints are used. Nothing is a hunch, and nothing is a probability dressed up as an answer.

AI is part of every run

It reads every sheet, and the geometry drawn on a sheet is read alongside the words on it. AI is in every run, reading what the others cannot settle, and everything any reader reports is held against what the page actually prints before you see it.

Every item shows its work

The page, the place on it, and the figures behind it. You agree or you disagree, in seconds, with the drawing open in front of you.

It reads the whole set

Every sheet on every run, so the answer never depends on which drawings somebody remembered to look at on the day.

Straight down

Everything in this frame has a number beside it on a drawing.

Lane widths, taper lengths, inlet spacing, cross slopes. This is the projection the drawings are drawn in, and every quantity in it was stated on a sheet before it was built.

Where the line sitsM-200

It knows the difference between rounding and an error.

A sheet prints its percentages to a tenth, so an honest column lands a little under 100. That is arithmetic, not a defect, and it is treated as such.

Every measured comparison carries an allowance like this one, set where a careful drafter would set it. That is the difference between a tool you keep running and a tool you switch off in the first week.

points, allowed

Four values printed to a tenth can land a column at 99.8 and every one of them is right.

What comes backM-300

Every run, in full

And it tells you what it looked at.

Every run comes back with the set laid out sheet by sheet, so you always know what you are looking at.

Your jurisdiction

It reads the rules your jurisdiction publishes.

The set is graded against the rules of the jurisdiction the drawings themselves name, so the same run means something different in two different counties, which is exactly what you want. Tell us where you submit and we will make sure yours is in there.
