Before any files
A consultation and a written scope: documents, review questions, deliverables, date, responsibilities and confidentiality terms.
How it works
From your record
to a decision.
Exactly what happens in a CivilRisk IQ review: what we need from you, how 21 AI specialists and an accountable human reviewer work through the record, and what you receive in 5–10 business days.

Observation. The point table puts the flow line at 1562.52, 1563.55, 1562.50, 1565.28 and 1562.50 ft for points 13–17. Point 16 is 2.78 ft above points 15 and 17, each about 36 ft away: roughly a 7.7% climb, then a 7.7% drop.
Why it matters. As tabulated, the curb can’t follow a smooth profile. A crew staking from this table would build a hump; if the elevations are intended, drainage and vehicle clearance need a second look.
Next check. Recalculate the curb profile from the grading model, compare points 14–17 with the K1 profile and the adjacent curb, and confirm none of the elevations belong to a different edge.

The review, step by step
Six steps from first call to decision.
Every engagement is bounded by its project record, review questions and delivery date, so you always know what happens next.
- 01Day 0
Consultation
A complimentary 20-minute call with Jason. Share the project and the decision ahead; no files needed.
- 02Before any files
Scope and agreement
Agree on the documents, review questions, deliverables and date. Scope, responsibilities and confidentiality are confirmed in writing before any project material changes hands.
- 03Review starts
Secure exchange
Authorized contacts upload the agreed source package to a project-scoped workspace. Only material the review needs.
- 04Days 1–7
Specialist AI review
12 plan-set and 9 environmental specialists read every sheet and page in parallel. A manager pass merges duplicates and assigns likely severity; a Red Team challenges weak claims. Scanned pages are read with OCR.
- 05Before release
Human judgment
A licensed engineer (design) or an authorized decision-maker (environmental) checks the evidence and decides what is released. What is still unknown stays visible.
- 06Days 5–10
Delivery and debrief
Reports, a findings register and PDF comment files, plus a walkthrough with your team. Your reviewers confirm, revise or dismiss each finding in the portal.
What we need from you
Every file should have a reason to be in the record.
We begin with only the material the agreed review needs. A typical source package includes:
- The plan set at the milestone being reviewed, as one PDF or by sheet
- The technical reports and studies behind it: geotechnical, structures, hydrology and drainage, environmental studies
- Specifications, estimates and schedules, if they are in scope
- The environmental document and its appendices, for environmental reviews
- Prior review comments and responses, if there are any
- The decision or questions the review should support
Independent by design
A second look with no stake in the design.
01
No design interest
CivilRisk IQ is built by PrimeLine Civil Engineering, a project management firm that oversees design work and does not design projects.
02
Evidence over opinion
Every finding points to its sheet, page and source text, so anyone can check it and the design team can answer it.
03
Uncertainty stays visible
A candidate is a question, not a verified defect. The review separates what the record supports from what is still open.
Engagement requirements
Scope before source material.
Three checkpoints keep every engagement clear and defensible.
Before the review starts
Authorized contacts confirmed and the agreed source package uploaded to a project-scoped workspace.
After delivery
A debrief, reviewer decisions recorded in the portal, and guest access removed within 5 business days of project close.
No public pricing. Each engagement is scoped to the project, the source record and the decisions ahead. Agencies typically engage through a purchase order or an on-call task order.
What you receive

Questions about the process
Frequently asked questions
How long does a review take?
A typical review takes 5 to 10 business days from receipt of the agreed source package, depending on its size and the scope. Tell us your submittal or decision date and we will plan around it.
What do we need to send?
The documents in scope, usually as PDFs: the plan set at the milestone being reviewed, the technical reports and studies behind it, and any specifications, estimates, schedules or environmental documents included in the scope. Scanned pages are fine; they are read with OCR.
Can we talk before sharing any files?
Yes. The first conversation needs no project files, and no project material changes hands until the scope, responsibilities and confidentiality terms are agreed in writing.
What does a review cost?
There is no public price list. Each review is scoped and priced to the package, the review questions and the deliverables. Agencies typically engage CivilRisk IQ through a purchase order or an on-call task order.
What is the difference between a candidate and a finding?
A candidate is an issue raised by one of the AI specialists. A manager pass merges duplicates and a Red Team challenges weak claims, so far fewer candidates survive: on the I-215 / Keller 95% PS&E plans, 1,212 candidates became 474 retained findings. A person with authority over the work then decides what is released.
Who decides what is released?
A licensed engineer for plans and technical reports, or an authorized decision-maker for environmental documents. AI specialists find and organize the issues; people make the call.
What makes the review independent?
CivilRisk IQ is built by PrimeLine Civil Engineering, a project management firm that oversees design work and does not design projects, so the review has no stake in the design. Every finding is tied to its sheet and page, and what remains uncertain is kept visible.
