What the record can answer
Coverage is measured against the questions the building record is expected to support—not the volume of documents collected.

The operational data layer for every building.
Ask the questions that slow work down. Factum returns the current building answer, the evidence behind it, and what still needs confirmation.

Why Factum
Buildings run on knowledge that software cannot reliably see.
The useful instruction is usually somewhere—in a handbook, a forwarded email, a loading-dock sign, a facilities team’s memory, or the last technician’s notes. Factum turns that fragmented operating context into evidence-backed data without hiding uncertainty.
Inspect the record
Useful data should show its limits.
This specimen uses One South Dearborn’s public record. Scores describe the current record, not Factum’s entire network.
CurrentnessAug 13
When the answer was reviewed
Sources keep their capture date and authority so an operator can see when confirmation is needed.
ReadinessMixed
Whether a workflow can proceed
Readiness is evaluated per question. A known dock entrance does not make an unconfirmed after-hours procedure dispatch-ready.

The product
Resolve. Reconcile. Deliver.
Factum is infrastructure for operating context: one building identity, a governed evidence layer, and answers designed for real workflows.
01Resolve
Find the canonical building
Resolve addresses, parcels, ownership, management, permits, contacts, and published guidance into one cited foundation.
- 1 canonical identity
- Claim-level evidence
- Conflicts preserved
02Reconcile
Add operating reality
Bring in handbooks, dock guidance, move rules, COI packages, corrections, and field exceptions without losing provenance.
- Authority recorded
- Currentness tracked
- Unknowns stay explicit
03Deliver
Return a usable answer
Give people and agents the direct answer, the evidence behind it, and the line between information and authorized action.
- Answer + receipts
- Readiness by question
- Human approval where needed
Answers with receipts
Not just the answer.
The evidence behind it.
Every material claim carries its source, authority, apparent vintage, confidence, and currentness. Conflicts and unknowns stay visible.

Built for the network
Map once. Use everywhere.
The same operating record can reduce friction across every team that enters, manages, services, or coordinates work inside a building.
Building teams
Correct the record once. Reduce repeated questions from tenants, vendors, and field teams.
Pilot a building →Service operators
Arrive knowing the access, freight, dock, COI, and work-rule context behind the job.
Map a service workflow →Software & agents
Ground workflows in cited building facts, current constraints, and explicit authorization boundaries.
Discuss an integration →Open research
See the graph take shape.
Our metro and building research becomes cited, machine-readable pages as it clears the public evidence gate.
Explore researchTrust architecture
Evidence, authority, and uncertainty stay attached.
Factum is designed for the moment an answer leaves a search box and enters an operating workflow. That requires more than a confident sentence.
Inspect the public record →Source chain
Material claims keep the supporting source, capture date, and apparent authority available for inspection.
Authorization boundary
Knowing a procedure is not the same as being authorized to act. Factum keeps that distinction explicit.
Governed contribution
Corrections and private evidence enter review; they never overwrite the building record directly.
Visible unknowns
Missing or conflicting details remain visible so teams know what must be confirmed before work proceeds.
Pilot Factum · Chicago first
Bring us the building question your current process cannot answer reliably.
We’ll map the evidence, surface the gaps, and show what a current operating record can make easier for your team.
