Win your next pursuit with the projects you have already done.
Corpus by SalemWise is page-cited AI for civil, structural, geotechnical, environmental, surveying and mining firms. It reads your firm’s archive of past projects, then helps you decide bid or pass on a new RFQ, draft the SOQ with page citations to check, and build the fee. Built for principals and BD leads at consultancies of 20 to 500 people.
Most proposal AI reuses your old proposals. Corpus reads the projects themselves: geotech reports, calc packages, specs, bid tabs and drawings, and its answers and drafts carry citations you can open and check.
From the live demo: a fictional sample firm built from real public engineering documents.
From RFQ to fee, answered from your own past work.
Bid or pass
Corpus reads a new RFQ, checks it against the work you have actually done and suggests go / no-go scores, each linked to the pages behind it. Fit, relationship and capacity stay your call.
Draft the SOQ
Draft the SOQ from your own relevant projects. Each sentence is written to carry a page citation; open each citation, because the software does not check that every sentence is supported. Your team edits a draft instead of starting from a blank page.
Price it and paper it
Build a cost-plus-fixed-fee estimate; the demo follows WSDOT’s method. The fee math is done by code, not by the AI. Then start from a draft contract: a draft, not legal advice.
Who sees what
Restricted projects are left out of search for roles that cannot open them; at setup, roles are mapped to your people.
Ask the archive a plain question. Get sources you can check.
Engineers ask in plain words and get answers with citations they can open and check against the source.
If nothing in the archive supports an answer, Corpus is designed to say “Nothing on file” instead of guessing.
Question
What watertightness testing standard and leakage limit apply to the containment concrete structures?
Answer
ACI 350.1, Testing Reinforced Concrete Structures for Watertightness. The maximum leakage allowed in the final 24-hour test is 0.05 percent of the test volume [1]

Question
What liner thickness did we carry for the Harborview digester dome?
Nothing on file.
No customer logos yet. Here is what you can check today.
The live demo
57 public engineering documents, filed under a fictional sample firm: DOT plan sets, geotech reports, specs, bid tabs and real public RFQs. Ask it anything.
The page citations
Click a cited project document and its page opens with the passage highlighted. Case-law citations have no page image.
The refusals
Ask about work that is not in the archive and it is designed to say “Nothing on file”.
The permission trim
Switch from the engineer to the principal: the restricted project appears only for the role allowed to open it. Demo roles are illustrative and anyone can switch them.
The fee math
Done by code, line by line, not by the AI.
The price
$5,000 fixed for the pilot, credited toward setup. You judge it on your own RFQ.
Start with one pursuit. Decide after.
Prove it on a real RFQ before you commit to anything larger. Corpus runs on your own hardware (a local NVIDIA GPU on your network) or ours, on an open-weight model with no outside AI service. On-prem, your files never leave your office.
$5,000
Fixed price · about 2–3 weeks
- We load a copy of a slice of your project PDFs, for example the last 2 to 3 years
- We run your next real RFQ through Corpus: go/no-go, SOQ draft, fee build
- You judge it on your own pursuit
- No integration work in the pilot
The $5,000 is credited toward full deployment if you continue.
