Find a credible route to someone who matters
Ask who on your team already knows a permitting specialist, a utility engineer, or a county planner, and see the connections that lead there.
Relatance

The product today
What you can do
Three things teams use Relatance for
Walk into the meeting with the history in view
Before a utility meeting, see who's in the room, what was said last time, and what was promised, with sources attached wherever they were captured.
Carry the work forward when people change
When a new project lead comes on, they inherit the relationships and history the last lead built.
Your most experienced people have spent years learning who matters and how work moves. Relatance helps that knowledge travel with the team.
01 / Operating reality
Physical projects are technical systems built through human systems.
Land, power, utilities, jurisdictions, capital, design, procurement, construction, and operations have to line up. So do the people behind each of them.
The technical work gets documented. The relational work often lives in calls, introductions, text threads, and the judgment of a few experienced people.
- Land & Site
- Power & Utilities
- Permitting & AHJs
- Capital & Commercial
- Design & Procurement
- Construction & Operations
02 / The problem
Three blindnesses slow complex work.
Context blindness
Why this person matters, who made the introduction, what was promised. When that lives in one person's memory, a handoff starts with reconstruction.
Network blindness
Experienced operators know how to move through a stakeholder field. Their teams often can't see the same map, so warm routes go unused.
Time blindness
Long-cycle projects have windows. The right conversation with the wrong person at the wrong moment can cost months, and calendars don't show the relational shape of time.
03 / The instruments
How Relatance helps you see.
Sava is for context. Orbit is for the network. Helix, emerging, is for time. Kosmos is how context gets in.
Sava · Context · Live
Understand why a relationship matters
Ask in plain language. Using Sava or a supported AI assistant, you can bring up the relevant history, see why a connection matters, and find a route to someone, with answers that point back to where they came from.
Orbit · Network · Live
See who connects to whom
The people, organizations, projects, and relationships relevant to you, held in one shared field you can move through. Each relationship carries its history: how it formed, how strong it is, when it was last touched.
Helix · Time · Emerging
Read long timelines
Last year below, the next 90 days approaching from up ahead, next year above, rendering long timelines legible. Today, Orbit already holds dated events and approaching commitments; Helix, the full temporal view, is emerging.
Kosmos · Intake · Live
Get context in without forms
Debrief after a site walk, paste in meeting notes, or speak a recap on the drive back. Kosmos turns it into people, relationships, and dated events in Orbit.
04 / Proof before promise
A real question, answered from a real network.
During a live evaluation, a team was asked by one of its own clients to recommend a permitting specialist. Nobody in the room could name one. They asked Claude, connected to their Orbit through Relatance: do we have anybody in our network who really knows permitting?
Asked again of Sava, which traces the routes on Orbit.
- Question
- Who do we already know who can get us to a permitting specialist?
- Result
- Five people with permitting, entitlements, or land development roles, each reached through someone the team already knows at the same firm.
- Why they're relevant
- Entitlements leads at an industrial developer, a data center developer, and a real estate developer; a land development practice leader at an engineering firm; a permitting program manager at a hyperscaler.
- Where it came from
- The team's existing relationship context. Nobody had entered anything for this question.
- Next move
- Ask the colleague you already know for the introduction.

Questions teams ask first.
Is Relatance a CRM?
No. A CRM is good at fields, stages, and account activity.
Relatance holds the relational context around the work: history, influence, timing, and why a connection matters. Most teams run both.
What do we need to bring?
One live project and the people who know it. We start with the relationships your team already has.
Which AI assistants work with it?
Claude, ChatGPT, Notion, and Grok are verified today, reading and writing Orbit through MCP. Other MCP clients may connect; we confirm compatibility with you first.
What's live, and what's coming?
Orbit, Sava, Kosmos, MCP read and write, and permissions are live. Helix is emerging. Portal and people-data discovery are planned.
What happens in a working session?
In 90 minutes, we map a slice of one real project into Orbit with you and use it to answer a question your team is actually asking.
