Market Signal

Enterprise AI has pivoted. So has the buyer.

63%

of enterprise leaders now require human validation of every AI output.

Up from 22% a year ago.

91%

say governance, security, and risk will drive their AI strategy over the next six months.

47%

are choosing trusted tech partners over in-house AI builds.

The market is done paying for autonomy. It's paying for accountability.

Dendra is built for this pattern, not retrofitted into it.

The accountability surface

What Dendra gives you that ChatGPT can't.

Confidence scoring

Per-section confidence bands surfaced in every pre-assessment. Know which parts to scrutinise before you sign off.

Audit bundle

Download the complete decision trail for any report, PDF plus JSON, 7-year retention. Your firm’s defensibility is one click away.

Correction flywheel

Your planners’ edits calibrate your firm’s tenant. Your data never trains anyone else’s model. Your style, your corrections, your advantage.

Platform

One platform. Any consent report.

Dendra is built to handle every regulated consent report type, not just planning AEEs. The underlying intelligence engine, pre-assessment, corpus search, correction flywheel, audit trail, works the same whether you're drafting a resource consent, a geotechnical report, a stormwater management plan, or an integrated transport assessment.

Planning AEEs is where we start. It's not where we stop.

The question isn't whether AI will write your next AEE.
The question is whether you can defend what it wrote.
