One workspace for cleaner permit folios.
Six product surfaces, one permit folio. Readyfolio prepares every folio before review and keeps human reviewers in control.
Six surfaces. One permit folio.
Every Readyfolio feature reads from the same folio, so applicants and reviewers never argue about the truth of a project.

- Form mismatch flags
- Plan-sheet review
- Zoning quick-check
Readiness

- Step 01
AI prepares
The folio is parsed, scored and annotated with cited findings.
- Step 02
Humans review
Reviewers triage, override, escalate, or accept each finding.
- Step 03
Authority decides
The relevant authority issues the final permit decision.
Stop submitting folios that come back red.

Sterling & Voss Architecture cut Incomplete notices from 2.4 to 0.6.
A full-service architecture and urban planning firm in the Mid-Atlantic Region using Readyfolio for pre-submission assembly and readiness verification.
“The friction wasn't in the design, it was in the packet assembly. We were losing weeks to simple version mismatches between the zoning context and the final site plan. Readyfolio caught three critical gaps in a 40-page submission before it ever hit the city desk.”
Before
Average 2.4 Incomplete notices per project due to missing source-links or version mismatches
After
0.6 Incomplete notices and 40% faster assembly of submission folios
