Every claim, traced and
quality-checked before it reaches you.
A report is only as good as the facts inside it. Here is exactly what happens to a single fact before it appears in yours.
The journey of one fact
Source, automated check, a check by a person, then the issued brief: the standard on every order.
"This site is in a conservation area."
Every statement in a report is a claim that has to be true. We start from the claim, not the conclusion.
Traced to an authoritative dataset
The claim is answered from a named, authoritative source — here, the local planning authority’s conservation-area data and Historic England, not an opinion or a guess.
Cross-checked automatically
Every report runs through automated checks: source citations, numerical precision, regulatory currency, and consistency against the rest of the report.
Checked by a person, then issued
Once every automated check passes, a person checks the report before it is issued: a source-traced desktop brief, on your desk by the delivery date confirmed before you pay. That is the standard on every order.
Chartered sign-off
Chartered sign-off is not included. Where a scheme needs a chartered professional's report or sign-off, the pack says so and names what to commission, so your own consultant can finalise that work and sign it off.
What the automated checks cover
The automated checks group into four families. Every brief passes all four before it is issued, as standard.
Accuracy
Source citations, numerical precision and factual claims are checked against the underlying datasets.
Regulatory currency
NPPF and local-plan references are checked against current numbering and dates.
Professional appropriateness
Risk language, recommendations and stated limitations match what the desktop method can defensibly say.
Scope clarity
Where formal surveys, intrusive investigation or specialist sign-off are needed, the report says so plainly.
Checked by a person before issue
Automated quality checks run on every brief. Then a person checks every report before it is issued, so no report reaches a client on automation alone. Chartered sign-off is not included: where a scheme needs it, the pack says so and names what to commission.

Illustrative example. Site and date redacted.
Developed with reference to the RICS standard on the responsible use of AI before it became mandatory on 9 March 2026. Automation does the heavy lifting on every brief, and a person checks every report before it is issued.
How we keep it current
Data goes stale and policy moves. These are the guards that stop a confidently-wrong report reaching you.
Source freshness
Each dataset has a refresh window. The checks reject a report if a source is older than its window without a documented exception.
Cross-check against precedent
Risk language is reasoned against verified appeal precedents, so it stays anchored to how inspectors have actually decided similar cases.
Statutory currency
When a policy paragraph or test moves, the affected templates and thresholds are reviewed — so reports track the rules as they change.
