How Permica Works

A pre-submission intelligence pipeline built on PNNL's public NEPATEC corpus, litigation records, and agency guidance.

1. Document Ingestion

Submit your draft EA, EIS, or supporting technical appendices. Permica parses and structures your document — extracting arguments, evidence claims, and regulatory references — so the analysis works at the level of meaning, not just text.

2. Cross-Reference Against Real Decisions

Your draft is evaluated against NEPATEC2.0 — Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's public corpus of 120,000+ federal permitting documents — combined with litigation records and agency guidance spanning 65,000+ projects, 60+ agencies, and 7 million pages of decisions. Permica identifies where your arguments diverge from how agencies have actually applied the regulations.

3. Risk Identification

Permica surfaces structural gaps, regulatory alignment issues, policy conflicts, and litigation exposure signals — flagging the specific sections and claims most likely to draw scrutiny or trigger escalation.

4. Actionable Recommendations

Every finding comes with a clear rationale grounded in real agency decisions and case law — not generic compliance checklists. Teams receive targeted guidance they can act on before the document reaches a reviewer.
