FAQ

Frequently asked

How is Kritical different from tools like Microsoft Copilot or ChatGPT?

General assistants only see the handful of files you paste, answer from memory, and can't show you where anything came from. Kritical ingests your entire project record — contracts, RFIs, minutes, programmes — classifies every document by what it actually is, and answers with findings linked to the exact source page. It also maps how every document connects — something a chat tool simply can't show you. It's built for construction claims, not generic chat.

How does Kritical handle scanned documents and image-only PDFs?

Most project records arrive as scanned bundles. Kritical runs built-in OCR, so scanned correspondence and image-only PDFs are read, classified, and searchable just like native files — with no manual tagging or re-keying.

How do I know the answers are right and not hallucinated?

Every finding links back to its source document, page, and quote. Nothing is asserted without a citation you can open and verify, so your chronology and claim package hold up under scrutiny instead of relying on a model's say-so.

Can I see how documents relate to each other?

Yes. Kritical builds a correspondence map of your whole record — every document is a node, and every reply, reference, or superseding letter is a link you can see and follow. Click any document to open the source PDF with its references beside it, and walk the chain from first notice to final position.

What documents and claim types does it cover?

Contracts, correspondence, RFIs, instructions, variation orders, daily reports, meeting minutes, and programmes — classified across 13 document types and 98 sub-categories. It captures the clauses each document cites, such as Sub-Clause 8.4 or 20.1, and the parties involved — ready for extension-of-time, prolongation, variation, and disruption claims.

Who is Kritical for?

Engineering and construction teams, claims consultants, and the institutions behind major projects — anyone in the built environment who has to turn thousands of documents into a defensible, traceable record.

Is our project data kept private and secure?

Your documents stay in an environment you control, access is scoped and logged, and nothing is used to train shared models. A complete audit trail means every classification and finding is traceable from end to end.

Turn thousands of documents into a record you can search, map, and trust.
