CASE STUDY · SHT P-01

One trade. 1,973 PDFs.
394 verified units.

A specialty subcontractor needed a takeoff from a full hospital bid set. Our engine, the one that became Luserne, read the whole set and returned a floor-by-floor, room-by-room count with a citation on every line. In hours, not the days a manual takeoff takes.

TRADE: roller window shades, one full takeoff
DELIVERABLE: client-ready PDF report + structured data (Excel/CSV)

SHT P-02 · The set

The part nobody has time to read.

A hospital bid set is not a document. It is a small library: architectural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, life safety, interiors, and two dozen more disciplines, each with its own sheets, schedules, and revisions.

1,973PDFs in the setsrc: full CD set, every discipline
29disciplines readsrc: sheet index, cover to cover
14stories, room by roomsrc: floor plans, all levels
394units, verifiedsrc: every count cites its sheet

An estimator bidding this trade reads the sheets there is time for and trusts convention for the rest. The engine does not have that constraint. It read everything, and the counts turned up in unexpected places: on this set, tagged on ceiling plans rather than a schedule.

SHT P-03 · The verify pass

Counted. Then counted against.

Every count is re-counted by an independent pass that starts from scratch and must agree. Rooms with nothing in them come back as verified zeroes: “no shades here” is a checked finding, not an omission.

The catch that pays for the discipline: the usual manual shortcut assumes typical floors are identical. On this set they were not. The verify pass caught the difference, an over-count that would have been baked straight into the bid.

Flag, don't guess: anything ambiguous in the documents goes to a human with its sheet reference attached. Nothing ambiguous goes into the count.

SHT P-04 · Legal

The same discipline, in a law firm.

Our legal line follows the same road: build inside a working business, prove it on real work. B.1ONIC, the billing companion under the TestiphAI brand, enters beta at a 100-lawyer firm against real matters and real billing rules, not a demo dataset.

The honest inventory

We are a new firm and we won't inflate the record. The numbers above come from real project runs; clients and projects stay anonymous until we have written permission to name them. One legal product entering beta, one in development, one construction product taking shape around a proven engine. If a claim on this site doesn't come with a number we can stand behind, we don't make it.
