Ampscale
Permit rescue

Stalled permit? Rebuild the electrical evidence.

When the reviewer asks for a clearer load basis, ampscale organizes the utility data, bills, service evidence, project documents, and open assumptions into a path the installer, PE, AHJ, and utility can actually inspect.

Reviewer blockerExisting-load basis is not documented well enough for approval.
  • AHJ rejected or questioned the load calculation
  • Utility asked for clearer existing-load evidence
  • Installer quote assumes a service upgrade without proof
  • PE needs source documents before sealing
Send the rejection note and the docs you already have. The first answer is the missing evidence list.
What happens

No magic. Proof in order.

Permit rescue is not a workaround for code or professional review. It is a fast way to turn scattered evidence into a clean load basis and next-step plan.

Send the evidence

Bills, interval data, service photos, panel schedules, cut sheets, one-lines, rejection notes, and prior permits.

Rebuild the load basis

Separate measured demand, proposed load, assumptions, missing proof, and jurisdiction-specific review questions.

Return the path

A reviewer-ready packet showing what can proceed, what needs field verification, and what likely requires upgrade planning.

What is built

A focused rescue engine for electrical capacity evidence.

The first implementation is deliberately narrow: code context, SLD, panel schedule, load calculation, parsed gaps, and a correction matrix. It does not become a generic permit marketplace or a rubber-stamp PE flow.

Jurisdiction code library

Resolves the AHJ, adopted code profile, and local overlay for the Canon-seeded metros: Bay Area, Greater LA, DFW, and Austin.

Single-line parser

Extracts service size, voltage, phase, meter, main breaker, panels, disconnects, grounding, and proposed EVSE equipment from OCR text.

Panel schedule parser

Reads circuit numbers, descriptions, breaker sizes, poles, voltage, connected load, and protection notes such as GFCI/AFCI.

Load-calc engine

Separates measured demand, proposed continuous load, service capacity, assumptions, and pass/fail headroom using the metered-demand basis where present.

Correction matrix

Turns rejection notes and parsed gaps into required evidence, code references, plan-sheet edits, and resubmittal response items.

Reviewer boundary

Keeps measured, customer-provided, assumed, and missing inputs separate so PE review and AHJ acceptance remain explicit.

Output

The first answer is the missing-evidence list.

Permit rescue produces a source-grounded packet outline before anyone edits drawings: jurisdiction context, artifact summaries, missing evidence, code sections, checklist status, and the correction response matrix.
