Read the record before the summary
Screen a parcel against EnviroStor, GeoTracker, the Cortese list, and CAL FIRE fire-hazard zones. Each result retains its source, record or response, source version, and retrieval time.
California CEQA / public-record screen
Evidence,
not writing.
Enter a parcel. Perminal returns a first-pass public record for review, with the source, version, and retrieval time beside each result.
Use the record to begin review. The analyst writes the setting.
The retrieval layer
Start with the record your reviewer will ask for.
Perminal brings together the public sources that recur in the first screen. It gives the reviewer the record, not a conclusion they have to take on faith.
Draft from cited material
Use linked source material to draft Initial Study setting language. Each sentence points back to the record or authority behind it.
See when the source moves
Active work is screened again each night. When a public layer changes, the difference is shown for review.
A boundary by design
A screen is not a CEQA conclusion.
Perminal handles the inspectable part: locating the public record, preserving its provenance, and linking it to draft language.
A returned record is not a determination of significance. An unresolved result remains a task for the analyst, who reviews the evidence and owns the document.
Pre-launch, with firms
Test the first screen against your actual review process.
We are looking for California CEQA firms willing to compare Perminal with their current first-screen process. Bring a representative parcel and the questions your reviewers ask before they sign off.
This is an early product. We will state current source coverage, review limits, and any work that still belongs in a manual check.
