AI that reviews your engineering docs
the way a Principal Engineer does.
Catches missing PWHT callouts, NACE class mismatches, NPSH margin shortfalls in 90 seconds instead of 90 minutes. Traceable findings, comment registers, human-supervised escalation.
Enterprise-grade report delivered in 48 hours. Chartered-engineer sign-off included.

Why not just use ChatGPT?
An LLM produces commentary.
SpecSense produces defensible findings.
Anyone can drop a P&ID into a chatbot. What they can't do is hand the output to a client, a regulator, or an audit. Five differences that matter to the person signing the report.
- Plausible commentary — reads like an engineering opinion.Defensible findings — each cites a code clause and drawing zone.
- No memory of your client's standards or piping class specs.Codified per-client specification packs. PMS-aware from day one.
- No responsible engineer. Output cannot be signed off.Chartered Engineer supervises severity and signs the register.
- No feedback loop. Every review starts from zero.Accepted-finding data calibrates the severity model over time.
- Cannot be produced in a client audit or a project review meeting.Signed report + comment register + evidence trail. Audit-ready.
Procurement-ready
Six questions your procurement lead will ask.
All six answered here.
Forward this section to procurement before we get on a call. Every answer is contract-backed.
Which deliverable and discipline is supported?
P&IDs, piping isometrics, equipment datasheets, HAZOP worksheets, RFIs, technical bid evaluations. Five disciplines live at launch: piping, process, mechanical, civil, structural.
Which code edition and client specification governs the review?
Latest published editions of ASME, API, BS EN, IEC, ISA, NACE. Client PMS and project specifications loaded per account — reviews cite the exact edition applied.
What source evidence appears beside each finding?
Every finding shows the code clause number, quoted text, and the exact drawing zone or datasheet field where the issue was detected. Nothing is opinion.
How are confidential documents stored, processed, deleted?
EU/regional hosting on request. Encrypted at rest and in transit. Documents purged from processing within 24h of report delivery. Full DPA available. SOC 2 in progress.
What is AI-only, what is engineer-supervised, who signs off?
AI raises the register. A Chartered Engineer reviews every major severity, sets the responsible-engineer boundary, and signs the report. Scope, limitations and liability are contract-defined.
What measurable result has a real team achieved?
First cohort benchmark publishes after Pilot #1. Prospects can request a benchmark for their own deliverable during the 48-hour supervised pilot — priced $750 credited to first pack.
Buy vs. Build
Yes, you could build this internally.
You could also build your own CRM.
The model is the easy part. The moat is everything else — the discipline libraries, the accepted-finding calibration, the audit posture, the professional indemnity boundary. That's what takes 18 months and £2M to reproduce.
Disciplines
Five disciplines. Real checks. Real code citations.
Each discipline runs a codified check sequence — the same sequence a Chartered Engineer would run, at 60x the pace.
Piping
Example finding
Flange class vs. design pressure derated for service temperature.
ASME B31.3 · MSS-SP-44 · ISO 15649
See check sequence →Process
Example finding
Relief valve sizing case not annotated against blocked-outlet scenario.
API 520 · API 521 · IEC 61511
See check sequence →Mechanical
Example finding
PWHT missing on P-No 5A material above 19mm wall thickness.
ASME BPVC VIII-1 · ASME B31.3 · NACE MR0175
See check sequence →Civil
Example finding
Foundation load case combinations incomplete per soil report.
Eurocode 7 · ACI 318 · BS EN 1997

Built by a Chartered Engineer
I've reviewed 40 P&IDs a week for 21 years.
SpecSense is what I wish I'd had on day one.
I'm Kingsley Uzowulu — Chartered Engineer, MIMechE, 21+ years across owner's-engineer and EPC roles in oil & gas.
Every week of my career, I've watched Principal Engineers lose Fridays to document review. Same clauses, same misses, same fatigue. SpecSense codifies what a good review looks like — the sequences, the severity calls, the evidence trail — so the human engineer spends time on judgment, not on hunting.
Every SpecSense review is signed by an engineer. That's the moat. That's the promise.
