The Future of Permitting

Review applications in seconds not months.

Landica helps permitting agencies operationalize land use, resource, and regulatory data so staff can identify project constraints, requirements, and decision context when an application first enters the system.

Why Reviews Take Months

Project context is discovered too late. It should be understood from the start.

Today, project context is discovered step by step, discipline by discipline. As each team contributes its portion of the review, the complete picture emerges only after multiple reviews and handoffs. Landica brings that understanding forward, surfacing project constraints, requirements, and dependencies at intake.

How it works today
Risk discovered over time

Lands and Realty performs the initial land and rights review. Resources then determines the NEPA pathway and identifies required studies and consultations. Each stage surfaces new project requirements, assembled over time through separate organizational functions.

With Landica
Context established at intake

Once the project boundary is uploaded, Landica screens it against authoritative agency datasets and surfaces land use, existing rights, resource, and regulatory context in parallel. Staff begin with a far more complete picture of what the project involves before specialist review begins.

The core problem

Projects should not enter the process to discover project constraints. They should enter the process having already understood them.

Assemble Project Context in Seconds

Start every review with a complete understanding of the project.

Landica operationalizes the geospatial, regulatory, and policy data agencies already maintain, automatically assembling a structured understanding of project constraints, requirements, and decision context before specialist review begins.

How Landica improves agency operations

When authoritative data is organized and screening happens at intake, agencies review more consistently, waste less time on rework, and produce decisions that are easier to defend.

01
A single source of truth

All staff work from the same authoritative datasets. Decisions are grounded in the same context regardless of who handles the application.

02
Consistency across reviewers

Screening logic, management direction, and policy interpretation are configured once and applied uniformly, reducing variation caused by informal institutional knowledge.

03
Context front-loaded

Constraints are visible at intake rather than being discovered gradually. Staff begin from a shared understanding instead of reconstructing project context from scratch.

04
A traceable record from the start

Every finding is connected to a source layer, geographic intersection, and applicable management direction, creating a transparent and auditable basis for review.

How It Works

From project geometry to organized review context.

A reviewer uploads the project shapefile. Landica evaluates the project against authoritative agency datasets and produces a structured set of findings organized by category, severity, and required coordination.

01
Project shapefile submitted
The project boundary enters the system as a structured record.
02
Geometry evaluated against agency data
The platform determines which authoritative datasets intersect with or apply to the project.
03
Relevant context assembled
Land status, existing rights, resource considerations, regulatory requirements, and management direction are organized for the project.
04
Structured findings produced
Staff receive a clear picture of what the project involves before significant review work begins.
The people who make it work

One shared environment. Two connected roles.

Data Managers establish the authoritative information and screening context used by the agency. Application Reviewers apply that context to incoming projects. Together, they create a repeatable process for understanding project constraints and requirements at intake.

Role
Data Manager

Data Managers are responsible for preparing and maintaining the agency information that powers project screening. They configure authoritative geospatial datasets, attach management direction and policy context, define how information should be interpreted, and publish approved data for operational use.

Configure authoritative datasets
Add metadata and source information
Connect management direction and policy context
Define screening and interpretation logic
Publish approved information
Maintain and update agency data over time
Role
Application Reviewer

Application Reviewers use the configured agency environment to understand incoming projects. They upload a project shapefile and evaluate it against the agency's published datasets. Landica surfaces relevant intersections, constraints, requirements, and decision context in a structured review.

Screen the project against authoritative datasets

Trace findings back to their source
Begin coordination with shared project context

Four connected capabilities. One end-to-end process.

Each capability builds on the previous one. Authoritative data powers the screening. Screening produces the context. Context drives the review. Every step is traceable back to its source.

Mission

The land decisions that build America deserve a better system.

Every transmission line, pipeline, road, and conservation initiative that crosses federal land requires a decision from a federal agency. The process that produces those decisions has not kept pace with that responsibility.

Landica exists to build the decision infrastructure that modern land use and permitting requires — starting with giving agency staff the context they need, when they need it.

Our Team

Built by former federal land use practitioners, permitting experts, and software nerds.

We're not from the outside trying to figure out how federal land management works. We worked inside it. We know what it takes to fix the permitting problem — and it starts with agency-side tools that help agencies perform work, not just track it.

01We lived the problem

Decisions shaped by firsthand experience.

The founding team worked inside federal land management agencies, reviewing applications, coordinating interdisciplinary teams, and experiencing firsthand how fragmented information delayed project understanding and decision-making.

02We know the process

Knowledge built from years inside the process.

Federal permitting depends on authoritative datasets, land use plans, program expertise, and institutional knowledge. Our team's experience shaped Landica around those realities instead of generic software assumptions.

03We understand the agencies

Built through partnership with agency staff.

We work alongside agencies to configure Landica around their authoritative data, review processes, terminology, and operational practices while preserving agency ownership and decision-making authority.
