From spec to verified drawing set.
Nudgy is an audit layer over your project documents. Index the spec once; every revision you add after that is checked against it, element by element, and every result is recorded.

01The pipeline
Four steps, run on every revision
01
Connect
Create the project and add the spec — upload it, or pick it straight from OneDrive or SharePoint with read-only access.
02
Index
The spec is parsed by CSI section — division, section, part — and indexed once. Every audit on the project draws on that index.
03
Audit
Add each drawing revision as it's issued. Schedules are extracted with their column structure intact and every element is checked against the spec.
04
Report
Cited findings open in the app — severity, explanation, and the exact spec clause — and every audit is recorded permanently.
02A worked example
One revision, end to end
A reviewer adds the new door schedule revision at 9:41 on a Tuesday morning and runs the audit. This is what happens in the next few minutes.

RECORDED
03Both directions
The spec can be wrong too
Most checking tools assume the spec is the truth and the drawing is the suspect. Nudgy reads both critically. When the spec contradicts itself — or a referenced standard — the finding names the spec as the document in error.
08 71 00 — Door Hardware (spec document)
Part 2 schedules closers meeting ANSI A156.4 Grade 1; Part 1 references a standard requiring Grade 2 at exterior openings. The contradiction is flagged in the spec itself — before it reaches the field.
04Where it runs
Isolated by design
Nudgy never writes to your source files. Each audit runs in an isolated worker, and the documents you add are held in private, per-organization storage — encrypted, access-controlled, and retained as part of the audit record so the exact version behind every finding stays reviewable.
