Supercharging Phase I ESA Workflows
Our Mission
To restore ecosystems by empowering consultants with intelligence tools that save time, cut costs, and scale impact. We believe the future of environmental protection lies in giving professionals the tools they need to focus on what matters most: expert judgment and ecological outcomes.
Our Vision
A future where every environmental professional has supercharged intelligence at their fingertips — accelerating reports, reducing risk, and freeing time for the work that matters most: protecting land and communities.
Our Roots → Our Innovation
Restoration First
Dozens of on-the-ground projects in rivers, coasts, and peatlands. We've been in the mud, working directly with ecosystems and communities.
- 12 restoration projects across 4 countries
- Rivers, coasts, and peatlands
- Recognition from CBS New York, American Rivers, NOAA
Gap Identified
Reports and compliance work took more time than restoration itself. We saw consultants drowning in paperwork instead of focusing on environmental outcomes.
- 20+ hours per Phase I ESA report
- Outdated tools bottlenecking decisions
- Consultants spending more time on reports than fieldwork
AI Applied
We built tools that automate the drudgery, so consultants can focus on expert judgment and ecological outcomes. AI that actually understands environmental work.
- 90% draft completion rate
- ASTM E1527-21 compliant formatting
- Built by people who've done the work

AI for Phase I ESAs
Why This Problem?
Originally founded as an innovative restoration-as-a-service startup, we led 12 restoration and remediation projects across 4 countries. Our work was recognized by CBS New York, American Rivers, NOAA, and Greenpeace International, but the biggest insight came from seeing how outdated tools bottleneck environmental decision-making.
The Moment of Discovery
While working on a grant-funded dune restoration project, we needed to assess where and how to rebuild dunes quickly. Hiring an environmental engineer would have taken months, but we only had weeks to act. So we manually collected data and used AI to analyze site photos, mimicking how an environmental engineer might assess the site. It was a scrappy solution, but it worked well enough to get the job done. This showed us how AI can make assessments faster and more accessible.
Validating the Market Need
To understand how widespread that problem was, we interviewed 50+ environmental engineers, environmental scientists and environmental consultants. They consistently pointed to writing and documentation as the most tedious and time-consuming parts of their workflow. Phase I ESA reports often take 2–4 weeks, with documentation, formatting, and records review taking the longest. Many saw AI-assisted reporting as both necessary and inevitable.
Building the Product
Our founder used his AI engineering background to build the first version of the platform by completing Phase I ESAs for brokers in Boston and Miami, gaining direct insight into consultant workflows. We then partnered with Rachel Maman, a 35-year industry veteran, to refine the product, and are now working with our first clients toward building the leading AI environmental intelligence platform.
