At a consulting firm, the answer usually exists — in a prior deliverable, a calc package, or a standard — buried in a client folder somewhere. knowledgeXpert turns your own reports, calcs, and the codes you work under into a cited, queryable corpus. Ask in plain English, get the answer with the source page. Runs air-gapped on your own hardware.
O&G engineering consultancies — pipeline & integrity, energy projects & construction, refining & process, environmental & automation — where the deliverable is judgment backed by records.
Own utilization and quality — and spend billable hours answering the same questions from project teams.
Work across clients, codes, and client specs — and need the prior analysis, not a fresh start.
Keep PHA revalidations, relief-system documentation, and permit records defensible across every client site.
Deliverables, calcs, and vendor data live in per-client folders, personal drives, and the memory of whoever ran the job.
The same analysis gets redone because the version from the last project is buried in a client folder. The senior engineer remembers doing it; nobody can produce it.
The gap between a new engineer and a useful one is mostly “where things are” and “which standard governs.” That gap is billable hours your seniors spend answering questions.
Federal code, client specs, the firm’s own standards — the controlling clause depends on service, jurisdiction, and contract. The answer is real; it is just spread across a shelf of PDFs.
knowledgeXpert ships as focused apps built on your own deliverables, calcs, and standards — each one returns a cited answer, not a folder to search.
Ask whether the firm has done an analysis before and get the deliverable, the calc, and the reasoning — cited to the exact document.
Resolve a question to the controlling clause — 49 CFR, OSHA 1910, EPA rules, or the standards you load as your own licensed copies — cited next to the client spec it interacts with.
Pull prior PHA revalidations, relief-system documentation, and the evidence behind a recommendation, each answer traced to source.
New engineers ask the corpus instead of interrupting a principal — and get answers that point back to the firm’s own work product.
knowledgeXpert ships with cited public regulatory knowledge on the Marketplace — one shelf that covers every practice area, loaded before a single deliverable comes in.
Parts 190 / 191 / 192 / 193 / 195 — the federal code your pipeline and LNG clients are held to, cited to the controlling clause.
5,800+ pages of workplace safety incl. Part 1910 (PSM 1910.119) and 1926 construction — for process-safety and construction practices.
5,000+ pages of federal incident and root-cause investigations — whether a failure mode has shown up before, cited to the report.
Refinery and terminal rules incl. 40 CFR Part 112 (SPCC), 60/61/63/98 — for environmental and compliance practices.
Your firm’s own reports, calcs, and procedures come in alongside — and the industry standards you hold licenses to load as your own documents. An engineer asks whether the firm has seen a problem before and gets the prior deliverable, cited next to the reg.
Thirty minutes, a slice of your own reports and calcs, and your engineers see the citations before anyone signs anything.
