GOVERNED PLANNING OPERATIONS

Permit Factory

Plan Factory’s city planning studio for parcel intelligence, entitlement coordination, review routing, environmental drafts, hearings, conditions, and records.

Draft-only, fail-closed workspace. Case intake, assessments, and the agent triad are active and write governed records with BlackBox receipts. Rule-pack evaluation stays closed until a jurisdiction rule pack is published, which requires ordinance source extraction and authorized legal and planning validation. UI actions are never agency actions, and nothing here is an application, approval, determination, or permit.
