Federal permitting today is siloed, manual, and antiquated. With Permitix, it's connected, automated, and modern.

Permitix connects data, systems, and processes.

Permitix is a federal-native permitting intelligence platform built to the CEQ NEPA and Permitting Data and Technology Standard v1.2.

Problem

Today, Federal Agencies spend hours pulling information and status from industry and agency staff. That's a structural failure.

Federal environmental review hasn't failed because the law is broken. It's failed because the infrastructure around it — the data systems, the coordination workflows, interoperability, document management, real-time dashboards — are antiquated or simply do not exist. The problem isn't regulatory ambition. It's operational architecture.

▲ Major infrastructure permits take too long. Permitix accelerates timelines through structured multi-agency coordination.

Multi-Agency Review Coordination is Opaque

Major infrastructure projects require concurrent reviews from multiple federal agencies — EPA, Corps, FWS, NOAA, BLM — but no system visualizes which agency is on the critical path. Project managers manually track dependencies using spreadsheets and email. When one agency delays, the cascading impact is invisible until it's too late.

Real-world example

Willow required coordination across 7 federal agencies; Mid-Barataria across 5. Each operated in data silos.

Delay Causes Are Undocumented

When projects experience delays, agencies rarely systematically capture the reasons. Was it incomplete applicant data, inter-agency coordination failures, unanticipated environmental findings, public comment volume, or something else?

The consequence

Without a structured record of why delays happen, the same failures repeat — and agencies are exposed in litigation with no documented rationale.

Addressed byCause-of-Delay Categorization

The Data Standard Exists. Reference Implementations Do Not.

CEQ published the NEPA and Permitting Data and Technology Standard v1.2 in August 2025. It defines nine entities — Process, Project, Agency, Case Event, and more — and provides JSON schemas. But agencies lack working examples of systems built to the standard. Without proof-of-concept implementations, adoption stalls.

CEQ v1.2 · August 2025

Nine defined entities. JSON schemas published. Zero federal systems demonstrably built to the standard — until now.

04Multi-Agency Compatibility

Built for the federal permitting ecosystem — not a single agency deployment.

Permitix is a working reference implementation of CEQ v1.2. The value multiplies with every agency connection. We designed for that from the first entity definition.

Data Standard

CEQ Data Standard

All sample data conforms to the nine CEQ v1.2 entities. Export menu surfaces CEQ v1.2 JSON for data portability. Every citation in AI responses is typed to a CEQ entity.

Automated Screening

Automated Screening

Triage screen pre-screens incoming project inquiries against applicable statutes, returning AI-screened permit requirements and timeline estimates before formal intake.

Comment Analysis

Comment Analysis

Public comments are categorized, summarized, and surfaced through Permitix with typed citations back to the originating comment records in the CEQ v1.2 data model.

Administrative Record

Administrative Record

One-button Export Administrative Record assembles a structured record bundle from the project's complete document, comment, and case event history — litigation-ready.

Data Portability

CEQ v1.2 JSON · CSV · PDF on every project

The export menu on every Project Detail page surfaces the underlying data in CEQ v1.2 JSON, CSV, and PDF formats. The standard is real underneath — not a label on a schema-free export. Data portability is demonstrated, not described.

Configurability

Agency-specific workflow configuration without a platform fork

Each agency configures review stages, decision rules, and document requirements within a shared platform. A Data Sources and Integrations panel on every project shows which federal systems are connected for that project's authorizations.

Interoperability

Pre-built connectors for the federal technology ecosystem

API and webhook architecture with connectors for permits.performance.gov, FAST-41 tracking systems, and Login.gov identity. The permitting solution's navigation, auth surface, and federal banner pattern are designed to read as the next version of the existing federal digital infrastructure.

Flexibility

Modular adoption — full platform or targeted capability

Agencies can adopt Permitix as an end-to-end platform, or as a targeted module — multi-agency timeline only, AI briefing surface only, or administrative record export only. Partial adoption creates real value without requiring wholesale transformation.

05Federal Implementation

Deep expertise with the permitting landscape and substantive engagement on permitting reform and modernization. Built for Federal Government.

Federal technology adoption requires more than working software. It requires a team that understands the institutional constraints, the procurement pathways, and the difference between a permitting solution that demonstrates capability and one that demonstrates readiness.

Phase One

Discovery and Configuration

Embedded Insomniac teams map agency-specific workflows, identify automation opportunities, and configure agency-specific review stages. No two agencies are the same. The platform is built for that.

Phase Two

Controlled Pilot Deployment

Limited production deployment on a defined permit category with parallel processing alongside existing systems. Establish performance baselines and confirm AI-assisted outputs meet agency accuracy requirements before expansion.

Phase Three

Full Deployment and Integration

Phased expansion across permit categories with progressive agency onboarding. Activate cross-agency data connections. Launch Executive Dashboard for OMB, CEQ, and agency leadership visibility on permitting performance metrics.

FedRAMP Moderate

Designed for FedRAMP Moderate authorization pathway with full documentation support from day one.

FISMA / NIST SP 800-53

Security controls mapped to NIST SP 800-53. Continuous monitoring and ATO documentation support included.

Section 508 / WCAG 2.1 AA

Full accessibility compliance across all user-facing interfaces. Keyboard navigation and focus states throughout.

Open Source Core

Core workflow engine published under a permissive open-source license compatible with federal open-source policy. Agencies can audit, adapt, and extend.

06About Insomniac

We don't sleep on hard problems.

Insomniac is a technology firm that deploys systems that streamline processes and have real operational impact. We brought the same rigor to federal permitting that we apply to every domain where poor workflow architecture and business process costs time, money, and opportunity.

Deep Permitting Domain Expertise

Substantive engagement with federal permitting reform and modernization at multiple levels of government.

CEQ v1.2 Reference Implementation

Permitix is a working implementation of the nine-entity CEQ NEPA and Permitting Data and Technology Standard. Sample data, citations, and export formats conform to the standard throughout.

Applied AI for Regulated Contexts

Experience deploying LLM-powered document analysis where output accuracy and audit trails are non-negotiable. Grounded, cited, human-in-the-loop — visible in the design, not just the policy documentation.

Federal-Native Aesthetic

USWDS-aligned base, Login.gov and ID.me identity management, WCAG 2.1 AA conformance. The permitting solution reads as the next version of the existing federal digital infrastructure — not a commercial product with a government skin.

Enterprise Workflow Architecture

Proven design and implementation of configurable workflow systems for complex multi-stakeholder processes. The permitting context is unique; the pattern is not.

Change Management as Product Design

Technology adoption in government fails at the rollout stage more often than the build stage. We design for sustained adoption from the first screen, not the last implementation milestone.
