The basics.

What Change Intelligence is, who uses it, and how it differs from a spreadsheet or an ERP change log.

What is Change Intelligence?

Change Intelligence is change governance for capital projects. It gives every change one controlled route - notice, impact assessment, decision - and keeps who raised it, who assessed it and who approved it on a single record that stands up to audit. It runs at change.stomwerk.com as part of stomwerk projekt.

Who uses Change Intelligence?

Owners, EPCMs and contractors on major capital projects. Project services runs the register, engineering and commercial teams assess impact, and the people accountable for the budget decide - all in one place, with one version of the truth.

What is "change governance" on a capital project?

It is the controlled process by which a proposed change - a ground condition, a supplier substitution, a scope request from operations - is raised, assessed for its cost, schedule and scope impact, and approved or rejected on the record, rather than agreed informally and discovered in the cost report months later.

How is it different from a change log in a spreadsheet or our ERP?

A spreadsheet records changes after the fact; Change Intelligence governs them as they happen. Every change gets a number, a state and an owner; impact is assessed before the decision; approvals are routed and signed; and the audit trail builds itself. It is the controlled route, not just a list.

Is Change Intelligence the same as Work Permit Intelligence?

No. Change Intelligence governs project change - notices, impact assessment and approvals. Work Permit Intelligence governs work on live sites - permits, SIMOPS clashes and isolations. Both are stomwerk projekt products and can be used together, but they solve different problems.

How it works.

The controlled route, structured assessment, approval routing and the audit trail that defends the decision.

What is the controlled route from notice to decision?

Raise a change notice, assess its impact, route it for decision. Each raised change gets a number, a state and an owner; nothing lives in inboxes or meeting minutes; and the register moves every change through the same route, so the controlled way is the easy way.

What goes into a structured impact assessment?

Cost, schedule and scope effects, captured before the decision is made rather than reconstructed after it. The assessment travels with the change, so the approver decides on evidence, not on a summary email.

How does approval routing and revise-and-resubmit work?

Changes are routed to the right approvers, who can approve, reject or send back with reasons. Revise-and-resubmit keeps the full history of each revision, so you can see how a change evolved and why it was decided the way it was.

What does the audit trail capture?

Who raised, who assessed, who approved and when - with the assessment and the decision reasons attached. It is ready for audit, for a variation claim or for a dispute, without a month-end reconstruction.

Can we use it to recover variations and defend claims?

Yes, that is a core use. Every variation is backed by an assessed, signed decision - the paper that wins commercial negotiations and disputes. Change is settled by evidence rather than by memory against memory.

The AI change writer.

Grounded drafting that speeds the work up without ever making the decision.

What does the AI change writer do?

It drafts change notices and assessments from your project's own facts, not from boilerplate, so raisers and assessors start from a grounded draft instead of a blank page. People review, and people decide.

Is the AI grounded in our project, or generic?

Grounded in your project. The change writer works from your project's own facts rather than generic templates, which is what makes its drafts useful rather than vague.

Does the AI approve or decide anything?

No. Assessment and approval are always human. The AI drafts; your team assesses and decides, and the record shows exactly who did what.

Can we turn the AI off?

Yes. Every workspace has an AI off switch, and the manual route is available and identical. You lose nothing but the drafting assistance.

Which AI model do you use, and where does it run?

AI inference for Change Intelligence runs through Anthropic's Claude API under terms that prohibit training on your data and retain it for at most 30 days. The application and your project data stay in the EU (Frankfurt); the full list is on the subprocessor register.

Do you train AI models on our project data?

No. Your project data is never used to train models, and prompts are not retained for training.

Access, teams and data.

How you get set up, how multi-company teams share a register, and where the data lives.

How do we get access to Change Intelligence?

Change Intelligence is provisioned per organisation rather than self-serve. Start a conversation or write to [email protected], and Stomwerk sets up your organisation, projects and first users. Plans are published at stomwerk.com/pricing.

Can owners, EPCMs and contractors share one register?

Yes. Access is per organisation with role-based membership, so raisers, assessors and approvers from different companies can work the same change register while each role sees exactly what it needs.

What roles are there?

Raisers create notices, assessors capture impact, and approvers decide - with a full audit trail behind each. Roles are assigned per organisation and per project, so people see what their role needs and no more.

Where is our data hosted?

In the EU. The application and database run in Frankfurt, and Stomwerk AB is a Swedish company operating under Swedish law and the GDPR. The Data Processing Agreement and subprocessor register are on the legal shelf.

How does Change Intelligence fit with our other systems?

Change Intelligence is the system of record for change: it keeps the governed register, the assessments and the audit trail in one place. For fit with your wider project controls or reporting, start a conversation about your setup.

What does Change Intelligence cost?

Plans are per organisation with users included, published at stomwerk.com/pricing under projekt. Provisioning and first users are arranged when you start a conversation.
