⬡ VERIDATUM
Pilot programme — onboarding a small number of organisations

Build, prove and own the golden thread for buildings you didn't build.

Veridatum reads an existing building's document archive end to end, extracts every safety-critical fact with a verbatim citation, and shows you exactly where the record contradicts itself or simply isn't there.

Demo uses anonymised findings from a real 15-storey higher-risk building.

How can one platform give you a record you can defend?

The Building Safety Act requires an accountable person to hold a golden thread for every occupied higher-risk building. For anything built before 2023, that information already exists — as scanned O&M manuals, handwritten test certificates, superseded drawings and contractor correspondence. Common data environments assume structured information arriving from a live project. They have no answer for an archive.

Veridatum starts from the opposite position: whatever you actually hold, in whatever state it's in. Four capability areas take it from an unreadable pile to an evidenced position you can put in front of a regulator.

What it found in one building

Evidence recovery trial — 15-storey residential tower, built 1960, overclad 2016-18

A single building's archive: 54 documents spanning 66 years, including 13 scanned drawings with no text layer. Everything below came out of the client's own documents.

CONFLICTING

Building height stated three ways

40m in the 2016 structural calculation, 36m in the 2016 cladding design, ~48m measured in the 2026 fire appraisal — two documents underpinning the same façade disagreeing on a basic parameter.

HIGH

A defective dry riser nobody had seen

A 2018 test recording “SYSTEM DOES NOT COMPLY”, with no remediation evidence — filed under a scanner-generated filename, in an image-only scan. The 2026 fire appraisal rated the same riser as compliant, because the assessor was never sent the 2018 test.

MEDIUM

A 56-year hole in the record

No documents at all between the 1960 byelaw approval and the 2016 recladding design. The original external wall construction was recoverable only from a faded blueline print.

MEDIUM

The same drawing at two revision states

Foundation details held in the archive both before and after a reinforcement revision, with nothing marking the earlier copies as superseded. Detected by comparing content — the filenames gave no clue.

Why organisations use it

Four things the output has to be, for it to be worth anything when a deadline arrives.

Defensible by construction
Every asserted value carries a verbatim quote and a page reference, and every human decision is logged against the person who made it. The output is built to be shown to a regulator, not just to inform an internal view.
Findings in days, not months
Reading an archive manually is the reason it never gets done. Veridatum processes a building's document estate in one pass and puts the findings in front of a competent person immediately.
Risk you can see
Conflicts and absences are the findings that matter, and both are invisible in a folder of PDFs. Surfacing them is the point of the product — including the uncomfortable ones.
Boundaries that keep you covered
Veridatum reports what your documents state. It does not adjudicate conflicting values or assess whether a building is safe, so professional judgement and liability stay exactly where they already sit.

Who it's for

Organisations responsible for occupied higher-risk buildings whose records predate every requirement now placed on them.

Housing associations

Occupied higher-risk stock with decades of inherited records and Awaab's Law pressure.

Local authorities

Estates acquired, refurbished and re-tendered across generations of contractors.

Accountable persons & managing agents

Duty holders who must evidence a golden thread they did not create.

Building safety consultants

Practices assembling safety cases who need the archive read before they can advise.

Frequently asked questions

Including the ones we'd rather you asked before signing anything.

Does Veridatum decide whether my building is safe?
No, and it is designed not to. Veridatum reports what your documents state, shows where they conflict, and flags what's missing. Deciding which conflicting value is correct — and what it means for the building — is professional judgement that stays with your accountable person and their appointed consultants.
What happens to facts the AI isn't sure about?
They're dropped or graded, never guessed. A fact that cannot be tied to a verbatim quote in a source document is discarded before it reaches your record. Partial extraction with an honest confidence grade is the intended behaviour, particularly on scanned drawings.
Can it read scanned and handwritten documents?
Yes. Documents without a usable text layer are routed to vision reading, and legacy drawings get a staged approach — cheap triage first, then high-resolution reading of the regions that carry dimensions, notes and title blocks. Some material remains unreadable, and the record says so rather than inventing a value.
What does a building actually cost to process?
It depends on document volume, and your organisation sets a monthly processing budget that the platform enforces. Work pauses when the cap is reached rather than running up an unbounded bill. We'll size a realistic figure for your estate during a walkthrough.
Is my data used to train AI models?
No. Document content is processed through the Anthropic API under commercial terms, which do not permit training on that content, and we never share data between customer organisations. We confirm the current position in writing as part of a data processing agreement.
How does this differ from a common data environment?
A CDE assumes structured information arriving from a live project. Veridatum starts from the opposite position: an archive that already exists, in no particular order, created by people who are long gone. It's the step that makes an existing building's records usable — including loading them into whatever system you keep them in afterwards.

See it on your own worst building

The demo runs on an anonymised real tower. The conversation worth having is about yours — which building you know least about, and what your records would look like read end to end.
