/2.0 Limestone Civic · Public sector

Built for service.
Not surveillance.

The same architecture, built for cities, counties, state agencies and other public agencies — where the public owns the data, budgets are flat, demand keeps rising and residents deserve one answer.

None of the hardest problems in government are AI problems. They are data and workflow problems — which is exactly where the work starts.

/2.1 What we hear

The same problems, in almost every building.

/01 Permitting

Reviews that keep getting longer

Every application touches planning, engineering, building and fire — one packet at a time.

/02 Enforcement

Letters built by hand

Open the template, edit the fields, save the PDF, send it. Every complaint, every time.

/03 Visibility

One question, a dozen spreadsheets

A simple backlog question turns into a week of pulling files from every department.

/04 Resident services

Shopping for an answer

Callers work department to department. No shared record of who called or what they were told.

/05 Reporting

Reports re-keyed

Staff reports rebuilt by hand from systems that already hold every number.

/06 Capacity

Roles you can't fill

Demand grows faster than headcount — and the veterans are retiring.

/07 Software

Paid for, never turned on

Modules and data already licensed — and not earning their keep.

/08

Start with discovery

We sit with your staff and map the work before we build anything.

/2.2 Keystone in action

One address. One answer.

What orchestration makes possible: the complete service history of any property, assembled on demand — and the same answer from every department.

01 Today

An email to every department

Leadership is meeting a resident tomorrow. Today that means asking each department for its records — and hoping the replies arrive in time.

→
02 With Keystone

One request

The orchestration layer queries permitting, code enforcement, public works and utilities at once and assembles a one-page history.

→
03 The result

A complete briefing

Every permit, request, complaint and response tied to that address — in hand before the meeting starts. Every query logged.

/2.3 A first build

The permit review co-pilot. AI flags; your reviewers decide.

01

Intake unchanged

Plans arrive through your existing portal. Nothing changes for applicants.

02

AI pre-review

The plan set is checked against the ordinance — setbacks, heights, sign area — with issues flagged and a confidence level.

03

Parallel human review

Every discipline works from the same flagged summary instead of the full packet.

04

Sign-off and learning

A planner approves every permit. Each correction makes the next pre-review better.

What we measure — and publishReview turnaround · margin against the statutory review window · staff hours shifted from paperwork to judgment. Transparency is the point.
/2.4 Plumb · Ground rules

The commitments that matter when the data belongs to the public.

01

The public owns it

The database, the automations and the prompts are built in accounts your organization controls. If the engagement ends, everything keeps running.

02

Regulated data stays out

Criminal-justice and protected health data are excluded from ingestion by design — enforced in the architecture.

03

Every query is logged

Access is role-based. Each department sees only its own data, and every query is on the record.

04

Public-records ready

Operated consistent with state public-records law, with retention and disclosure designed in.

05

Your data never trains a model

Commercial API terms that prohibit training — documented in a data processing addendum.

06

Built for handoff

Documented and deterministic, so your IT team can run it without us.

/2.5 Ashlar Civic

Tools for every department.

Illustrative — your roadmap comes from discovery, not a catalog.

/01

Permit Review

Plan sets pre-checked against the ordinance; reviewers decide.

/02

Code Enforcement

Complaints to drafted notices in a click, every case on the record.

/03

Resident Services

One shared history of who called and what they were told.

/04

Records Requests

Requests found, assembled and reviewed against public-records law.

/05

Staff Reports

Built from the systems that already hold every number.

/06

Work Orders

Requests, crews and backlogs visible in real time.

/07

Event Operations

Vendors, staffing and logistics for large public events.

/08+

Yours next

If staff re-key it, reconcile it or tally it by hand, it's a candidate.
