Public-works document control is fragmenting as state DOTs move to digital submittals. The TAM across the top 40 US metros is estimated at $2.1B annually, with the median agency still running approvals through email and spreadsheets despite compliance exposure on projects above $100M.
Incumbents bundle document control into heavyweight ERP suites, leaving a gap for focused tools that price per-project rather than per-seat.
Goal: cut time-to-first-value from 9 days to under 3. Blocker last quarter was the manual data import Ceci and Ilse flagged.
Proposed: a guided import wizard + a Spanish-first walkthrough (the team operates es-MX).

That's twice today you copied a number off the dashboard into a client email. Make "pull the weekly KPI line for the active client" a one-tap action?
To help in the moment, Kato needs to see what's on your screen. Here's the deal — and you hold the switch:
You run several projects at once and your work lives on a screen all day. Kato rides on your shoulder inside every app — it sees what you see, remembers every client and project, and acts right where you're working. No chat window. No copy-paste. It already has the context.
A separate, private memory for every client and project — compounding every day. Open a doc and it already knows which world you're in and where you left off.
Better drafts over your email, explanations on your dashboard, fixes in your terminal — rendered on top of the app you're already in, not in a tab you have to visit.
It notices what you repeat and turns it into a one-tap skill. It catches the error before it costs you. The longer it rides with you, the more it does.
To help in the moment, Kato sees your screen. That only works if you trust it completely — so trust is the architecture, not a setting.
