Review support built for speed, clarity, and confidence

Critical gaps and conflicting assumptions hide across disparate project records and deadlines compress review time.

Fast

Analysis delivered fast enough to keep decisions moving under deadline pressure.

Verifiable

Findings are grounded in the project documents, so your team can review the analysis and use it confidently.

Project-ready

Built around how your team already runs its projects, with deliverables shaped for real decision meetings.

Decision-ready review package

A decision-ready review package that helps your team compare what was submitted against what was agreed, spot scope gaps and inconsistencies, and focus attention on the issues that matter before committing. Every finding is traced to its source page.

The output can be delivered through our web portal, in Excel, PDF, or another format your team prefers.

Project partner, not software

The engagement is scoped to your project and shaped around how your team already handles review. You send the documents, we do the analysis, and you get back decision-ready output in a format your team can use.

Project execution

  • Contract and NDA are signed before any documents are shared.
  • We deliver analysis tailored to your team's decision process.
  • When new information comes in, we recheck, clarify, and follow-up.

Terms

  • Turnaround is faster than a typical manual review cycle.
  • Output is formatted for internal review:
    • Leadership and stakeholder presentations
    • Approval discussions
    • Follow-up questions before commitment
  • No subscription. Project-by-project engagement.

Construction experience backed by software and analysis

Konstantin Balakirev, founder of Sentelex
Konstantin Balakirev Founder, Sentelex

Sentelex combines construction judgment with data mastery.

Our service works because we have both:

  • the technical capability to process unstructured project documents at scale
  • the field judgment to know which differences actually matter.

Konstantin ran subcontractor buyout at a Chicago CM. Sentelex came directly out of that work: a better way to analyze messy project documents without losing the judgement to spot the important details.

Clients engage Sentelex for the outcome, not for another tool to learn.

On confidentiality

We understand that project documents contain sensitive information.

An NDA is signed at contract. Documents are used for this engagement only and are not shared with other clients. If your firm has specific data-handling requirements, reach out and we’ll work with you.

Common questions

Is this a software tool or a service?

A service. You are not buying a login or changing your workflow. You send the documents, and we return analysis your team can use in the decision.

How is confidentiality handled?

Project documents are sensitive: pricing, contractor relationships, project strategy. An NDA is signed at contract. Your documents are used for this engagement only and not shared with other clients. If you have specific data-handling requirements, reach out.

What does the deliverable actually look like?

A decision-ready review package that helps your team compare what was submitted against what was agreed, spot scope gaps and inconsistencies, and focus attention on the issues that matter before committing. Every finding is traced to its source page. The output can be delivered through our web portal, in Excel, PDF, or another format your team prefers.

How do you price it?

Per project, scoped upfront based on package size, document volume, and the level of follow-through needed, including revisions, rechecks, or follow-on rounds.
