Word add-in

Highlight, ask, accept.

Select a clause, ask the question, get a cited answer. Suggest an edit and the add-in writes it back as a tracked change. Run an IMS compliance workflow and findings render inline with severity, rule reference, and evidence.

  • Action intent detection routes asks vs fills vs workflows automatically.
  • Snapshot linker — pin a finding to a specific paragraph for review later.
  • Citation navigation jumps to the cited span in the source document.

CMP-meridian-04.docx · §3.4.6

3.4.6 Curing requirements

All structural concrete shall be cured continuously for no less than ten (10) days at an ambient temperature of ≥ 10 °C, in accordance with AS 1012.

Suggested edit — previous revision specified 7 days. Update §3.4.6 to align with current civil spec.

Excel add-in

Registers that build themselves.

Point the add-in at a contract. It returns an obligation register, a variation register, a milestone schedule, and an LD calculator — all written into the active workbook, every row cited to clause. Update in place when a new revision lands.

  • Operations plan: describe a sheet change in English, review the diff, accept once.
  • Flow-down checker compares head-contract obligations against subcontracts.
  • Approvals panel — write-to-sheet ops queue up for human sign-off before commit.

Outlook add-in

The inbox, but project-aware.

Every email lands inside the right project. The add-in detects which one, files it with its attachments, surfaces action items, flags compliance risks before they get saved, and drafts a reply with the right register update pre-attached.

  • Attachment alerts catch missing rev marks, unsigned drawings, and PII before filing.
  • Email scan sweeps the inbox over 7/30/90 days to find unaddressed obligations.
  • Approvals queue routes RFI / payment / variation actions to the right approver.

RFI #042 — south retaining wall cure period

From: ben.holdsworth@meridian-civils.com.au

Hi team — chasing confirmation on cure period for the south retaining wall pour scheduled for the 28th. Previous spec said 7 days but civil have flagged a change. Need this locked in by EOW or we'll need a formal variation.
