Pole Attachment Permit Production & Make-Ready Cost Control Desk

Audience

Fiber broadband builders with 500-20,000 aerial poles/year and no dedicated joint-use staff — rural ISPs, WISPs going fiber, co-op broadband subsidiaries, regional overbuilders

Problem

An aerial fiber mile earns nothing until every pole under it is permitted. Applications bounce on completeness and restart the utility's review clock; the FCC deadlines that took full effect May 7, 2026 go unenforced because nobody tracks them; and make-ready invoices of $75-$450 per pole get paid unread.

Offer

Permit Package + Clock Watch: complete, utility-specific applications with first-pass acceptance as the contractual quality bar, a live deadline ledger on every utility in your build, escalation correspondence drafted the day any clock is blown, and line-by-line make-ready audit — $22-$35 per pole plus 20-25% of documented savings. Never hourly.

Operating process

[
  {
    "body": "You send field survey exports (Katapult Pro, ikeGPS, CSV), route maps, executed joint-use agreements, prior utility correspondence, and an authority-to-act letter. Automated completeness scoring blocks production on gaps — one consolidated request, never dribbled asks. Your crews and engineers keep doing what they do; we never touch a pole.",
    "title": "1. Intake — your field data, our checklist"
  },
  {
    "body": "AI extraction maps every input to a canonical per-pole record and application object with a confidence score on every field. Low-confidence fields go to a human exception queue and are re-keyed from source — nothing uncertain passes a gate silently.",
    "title": "2. Normalize — one canonical record per pole"
  },
  {
    "body": "Applications are built to each utility's requirements playbook (forms, exhibits, fees, portal quirks, rejection history). A deterministic completeness gate blocks any package missing a required field, and an OSP-fluent reviewer signs every package before it goes anywhere.",
    "title": "3. Assemble & gate — the clock-restart killer"
  },
  {
    "body": "Packages go through the right channel — NJUNS, Alden One, the utility's own portal, or certified mail — with receipts archived. The moment an application lands, the state machine instantiates every applicable deadline with its rule citation: 45/14/60 standard, 90/29/120/180 large-order, contractor deemed-approval, inability notices.",
    "title": "4. Submit & start the clocks"
  },
  {
    "body": "A daily sweep (with independent nightly recompute and divergence alarms) monitors every clock. The day a utility misses a deadline, the correct next artifact is drafted — reminder, formal notice, self-help election, or meet-and-confer request — approved by the account lead, and sent under your signature.",
    "title": "5. Watch & enforce — same-day breach response"
  },
  {
    "body": "Estimates are reviewed before you accept; invoices are reconciled line-by-line against estimates, FCC cost standards, and cross-utility benchmarks, with flagged items human-validated before you see them. Every Friday: a permit-status dashboard mapped to your construction schedule and BEAD milestones.",
    "title": "6. Audit & report — every dollar, every week"
  }
