E³I CIVIL INTELLIGENCE
INVESTOR OVERVIEW

Turn project experience
into better decisions.

E³I connects the original estimate, field production and verified actual costs through one task identity. The purpose is to make what a heavy-civil contractor learns on each job useful to its next estimate.

Investor overview updated September 26, 2026

A practical foundation.
A commercial platform to build.

Rick Crane and Jennifer Dahl combine heavy-civil operations and estimating experience with workbook development and financial systems. Our next step is to bring that work into a secure product that contractors can use.

Keep the evidence connected.
Keep people responsible.

Preserve the original estimate. Trace the field record. Reconcile verified actual costs. Let responsible people approve which lessons become future estimating knowledge.
