The problem
Data center commissioning generates an enormous volume of documentation — test scripts, equipment schedules, punch lists, inspection logs, deficiency reports. The information exists. The problem is that it lives in formats and systems that make it effectively inaccessible to the people who need it most: field engineers making decisions in real time and owners trying to understand where their project actually stands.
Questions that should take seconds — what’s the status of this piece of equipment, which deficiencies are blocking energization, what did the last inspection find — routinely take hours because the answer is buried in a spreadsheet or a PDF no one can quickly search.
What we built
The software parses commissioning schedules, ingests project data from the commissioning management platform, and makes it queryable through a natural-language interface. Field teams ask questions in plain English and get answers drawn directly from project records — not summaries, not approximations, but answers with source references.
Project owners get a real-time view of commissioning progress without needing to navigate the tools their Cx agents use. The information gap between field and owner closes.
Alder’s role
Alder designed and built this software end-to-end: product definition, technical architecture, and full-stack development. The AI layer is built on the Anthropic API, tuned for construction-specific reasoning and document analysis against structured commissioning data.
The software was deployed on an active data center construction project. This engagement was the direct starting point for CxLens — a commissioning intelligence product Alder subsequently developed, refined, and launched independently.
