The Problem

Permitting is the bottleneck blocking $trillions in infrastructure.

Every infrastructure project — solar, wind, transmission, pipelines, data centers, broadband — must navigate a labyrinth of federal, state, and local approvals before a single shovel breaks ground. Today that process is managed through email threads, SharePoint folders, and expensive outside counsel billing $500/hour to answer questions that have been answered a hundred times before.

The regulatory map is reconstructed from scratch on every project. Timelines are unpredictable. Deadlines are missed. Financing falls through. Olmsted changes this.

Without Olmsted — Today's Process

1
Engage outside counsel $50K–150K to scope permitting pathway. 6–8 weeks.
2
Manually map 40+ agencies Tribal knowledge. No systematic record. Varies by project.
3
Draft applications from scratch Hundreds of pages. Formulaic but time-consuming. Repeated every project.
4
Track manually — miss deadlines Spreadsheets. Calendar alerts. Rule changes go unnoticed.
!
Average: 5+ years to approval Capital stranded. Projects cancelled. Revenue delayed.

The Platform

One system for the entire permitting lifecycle.

Olmsted is not a document management tool. It's a living intelligence layer that knows every agency, every requirement, every deadline — and gets smarter with every project.

01

Permitting Pathway Mapper

Input any project — type, location, size, technology. Olmsted generates the complete regulatory roadmap: every agency, sequence, legal basis, and historically-calibrated timeline estimate based on comparable past projects.

02

AI Document Generation

Olmsted drafts permit applications, environmental assessments, comment responses, and agency correspondence — trained on thousands of prior successful filings. Review and submit rather than write from scratch.

03

Portfolio Intelligence

Track every pending approval across your entire project portfolio. Real-time probability-weighted timelines to construction start. The dashboard your VP of Development checks every morning.

04

Regulatory Change Alerts

When CEQ changes NEPA guidance, a court issues a ruling affecting ESA consultation, or Congress passes permitting reform — Olmsted analyzes how that change affects every active project in your portfolio and surfaces what needs attention.
