Field Survey · Live status

Coordinate the whole assessment on one live board.

EIA Manager puts every discipline chapter, its status, and the people working on it onto a single board. Scope it, write it together, and watch the Environmental Statement come into agreement from first brief to public review.

Note 01No single view

Today the status of an Environmental Statement lives in three places at once, and none of them agree.

A spreadsheet tracker that is a week out of date. A dozen Word files on a shared drive, each its own version of the truth. An inbox of review comments nobody has reconciled. Ask who owns the noise chapter, whether transport is signed off, or what changed since Friday, and the honest answer is that no one can see the whole assessment at once. EIA Manager makes the project itself the single current view, so the board you see is the real state of the work.

Six symbols, read off one sheet.

Everything on the board above is driven by the same set of capabilities. Read them as a sheet legend: each numbered entry is a feature you will use from scoping through to submission.

Real-time co-authoring

Write chapters together with live cursors and presence, inline comment threads anchored to the text, track changes, and version snapshots you can recover. The whole discipline team works in one document.

Editor

AI PDF import

Drop in a large existing Environmental Statement and EIA Manager splits it into chapters, classifies each by discipline, rebuilds an editable structure, and collects the references for you.

Ingest

AI scoping

Give it a short brief and it proposes a report structure. Upload a scoping PDF and it reads out disciplines, jurisdictions, planning instruments, content blocks, and an effects framework, ready to accept or edit.

Scope

Significance matrix

Receptors by disciplines by phases (construction, operation, decommissioning) in one effects matrix, scored against your own significance frameworks. Change a receptor once and every chapter that cites it stays in agreement.

Assess

Public review rounds

Freeze a version into a review round and invite statutory and public reviewers by magic link, each scoped to their jurisdiction. Their comments land anchored to the exact text rather than arriving as a separate pile.

Review

Audit and version history

Workspace roles, a full audit trail of who changed what and when, recoverable snapshots, and Cmd+K search across the project. Defensible by construction, not reconstructed after the fact.

Record

One moving assessment, always in agreement.

The board is not a separate tracker bolted on top. It reads the same model the chapters are written against, so a single change ripples consistently everywhere it is referenced.

Symbol A · The matrix

Change a rating once, everywhere follows.

Receptors, disciplines, and phases meet in one significance matrix. Revise a residual effect on the river corridor and the figure, the chapter prose, and the summary table that cite it all move with it. No more hunting for the three places a rating was copied to.

  • Presence and comments anchored to the exact text, so feedback maps straight back onto the Statement.
  • Programmes rollup across every phase of one undertaking, scoped so a rollup only shows phases a person can already reach.
  • One source of truth for receptors and frameworks, shared by every discipline chapter at once.
Presence

Everyone on the same page, literally.

Live cursors show who is in which chapter right now. Comments thread inline against the sentence they question, and resolve against recoverable snapshots.

Consistency

The board reflects the real state.

Chapter status, progress, and ownership on the hero board read from the work itself, so the picture is never a stale copy of what was true last week.

Programmes

Many phases, one undertaking.

Group every workspace of a reservoir, route, or scheme into a programme and roll progress up across phases, with access still scoped per workspace.

Four steps, one continuous line.

An assessment runs like a surveyor’s traverse: a measured line from start to submission, every leg recorded. Scope, author, review, submit, each mapped to a feature you saw in the legend.

  1. STEP 01

    Scope

    Turn a brief or a scoping PDF into a proposed structure: disciplines, jurisdictions, instruments, and an effects framework to review.

    AI scoping
  2. STEP 02

    Author

    Write chapters together with live presence, comments, and track changes, all reading from one shared assessment model.

    Collaborative editor
  3. STEP 03

    Review

    Freeze a version into review rounds and invite statutory and public reviewers by magic link, each scoped to their jurisdiction.

    Public review rounds
  4. STEP 04

    Submit

    Reconcile anchored comments against recoverable snapshots, then submit a Statement whose every chapter holds together.

    Version snapshots

Built for Word, Excel and ArcGIS users.

An Environmental Statement is written in Microsoft Word, tracked in Excel, and mapped in ArcGIS, then held together by email and Teams chats. EIA Manager keeps those three jobs in one workspace, and you bring the work you already have. No more decisions lost in a thread no one saved.

Microsoft Word

Chapters and prose

Import the Word and PDF you already have, then co-author one live document with track changes and comments.

Microsoft Excel

Trackers and significance

Trade the status spreadsheet for a live board, and score significance in one matrix that every chapter reads from.

ArcGIS

Receptors and figures

Organise receptors, jurisdictions, and figure references in the report. It complements your GIS, it does not replace it.
