A real $47.6 million affordable-housing application in Los Angeles. We gave Skumu the application and the rules. We did not give it the result.
THE RECEIPT
applicant self-score reproduced by Skumu
the state’s published figure
The two numbers measure different points in the record. Skumu reproduced the applicant's self-score under the written rules. The agency later published its final figure after review. The 4.650-point difference is visible, sourced and explained, which is more useful than a single number with no account of how it was reached.
PROOF BEFORE ANSWER · REPRODUCTION TEST
When we rebuilt California's tax-credit scoring system from the source regulations, we tested it by rerunning published applications from their raw inputs and comparing our number with the number in the public record. The engine reproduces those scores to the decimal, a miss of exactly 0.000. When the record does not support the agency’s math, Skumu does not guess. It declines to answer until the evidence is there.
No proof = no claim. AI suggests. Humans decide.
THE GATE
A project enters Skumu as a question with real consequences: should this team spend another dollar, and what does each firm have to do before the answer can change?

Outstanding in our records · finance
Skumu produces a go, conditional-go or no-go determination, then opens the record for the people responsible for acting on it. The developer sees readiness and the cost of continuing. Legal sees the governing obligation, source and unresolved exposure. Public affairs sees the stakeholder, support and outreach work that can still affect the deal. Consultants and grant professionals see the competitive position and the evidence required to improve it.
Each firm uses Skumu in its own practice and contributes to the record the others rely on. The legal analysis, outreach history, evidence decisions and operator approvals remain connected as the deal moves, so nobody has to reconstruct the whole story from another firm's memo or spreadsheet.
Skumu sits between a regulated opportunity and the money, time and professional judgment a team will spend pursuing it. The AI builds and maintains the evidence. The decision engine makes the consequences visible. Developers, attorneys, public-affairs firms and consultants use that record to do their own work while the answer can still change the outcome.
