Brain Co details Bayesian confidence scoring to automate construction permitting with LLMs
LVidegaray · x · 2026-10-13
Brain Co engineer James Huang published a deep dive on taming LLM hallucinations in construction permitting, where made-up answers are not an option.
Key points:
- The system ingests blueprints, tables, and forms, then applies safety and zoning regulations to flag violations in minutes instead of years
- A three-tier Bayesian confidence scoring approach tracks uncertainty from individual field values up to whole applications
- A staged autonomy pathway: start with copilot-style decision support and expand toward full automation only as confidence matures, routing low-confidence checks to human review
A practical methodology for progressive AI automation in high-stakes, regulated government workflows.
