Why vBrief Matters

  • Stay in control of your project requirements, keeping your team on the same page. vBrief improves your workflow by:

    • Freeing up design time by spending less effort cataloguing requirements, and producing documents and trackers.

    • Reducing internal errors by flagging misalignments the moment they appear.

    • Catching rework early through automatic detection of contradictory requirements.

    • Knowing exactly what’s next with live task lists tied to each requirement.

    • Staying ahead of risks thanks to surfacing and tracking stated challenges.

    • Maintaining an auditable Golden  Thread of every decision, fully queryable at any point in the project.

  • vBrief helps simplify the complex task of ensuring alignment across multiple consultants. Free up time for better planning and strategy by:

    • Capturing recent actions and open requirements at a glance.

    • Eliminating hidden contradictions between consultants before they escalate.

    • Tracking in‑progress studies item‑by‑item without chasing email chains.

    • Surfacing crucial information while preserving a deep library of project knowledge.

    • Monitoring emerging risks and mitigation actions in one place.

  • We understand your need to balance between providing more efficient and powerful user workflows, while ensuring data, reliability and accountability are all protected. We engineered vBrief to align with all these principles ensuring:

Security at a glance

Human-led Systems

All AI suggestions run through the mandatory human-review step, no action is taken without user confirmation.

Data points carry metadata for each human decision, making each action fully-traceable.

No AI Training

All data resides in private, ISO-27001-certified EU-resident servers, with no data sent to the original model developers.

This configuration ensures no customer data is used for model training without explicit permission.

Data Encryption

AES-256 at Rest, TLS 1.3 & AES-256 at Transfer and row-level security ensure your data is securely encrypted.

OIDC SSO, project and company-level access controls ensures only the right people have access.

We are currently developing roadmaps for Cyber Essentials & ISO 27001 to ensure strong compliance response.
Please feel free to contact us for interim documentation.

Why We’re Different

 Frequently Asked Questions

  • vBrief’s AI is contained to key areas of the workflow, accelerating the user but not making decisions on their behalf. Users verify information before it is converted into output by the AI making it much more traceable. Crucially, it also ensures users can easily review to spot if our AI has missed-out any key information, one of the largest potential PI insurance risks when using end-to-end AI applications.

    Each decision is stored using a tamper‑proof log as a continuous Golden-Thread, helping towards PI‑insurer requirements for traceability and auditability.

  • Much like the schedules in popular BIM software, schedules display live data filtered by your latest approvals. The moment you confirm a change, every linked schedule, view, and export reflects it.

  • At all times. All information is stored in a fully encrypted database, accessible only to the users authorised to access it. Our AI systems are hosted in private instances, away from the companies developing the models, so you can rest assured the data won’t be used for training without your explicit permission.

    (Data is AES‑256‑encrypted, stored on secure EU servers, and never used to train external models. Access is limited by granular permissions and SSO).

  • Complex design decisions require professional judgement. Most AI agents who complete nuanced tasks for users are still very immature, and have a very high error rate due to hallucinations or major misunderstandings. If the AI makes a mistake, the professional using the system is ultimately liable for any harm that comes from it.

    At vBrief, we understand your project communications are mission critical and your professional liability is not to be taken lightly. Our software uses AI where major efficiency gains are possible, while ensuring major checks and decisions lie with the professionals where the legal liability lies.
