# Tractassis

*/Startups/Tractassis*

## Startup Overview

This system processes scanned real estate deeds to directly extract boundary geometries and encumbrance data. It translates unstructured text and historical legal descriptions into precise digital maps and structured property records.

Title insurers, landmen, and developers face persistent bottlenecks when clearing title due to the reliance on human abstractors reading complex property documents. Traditional methods demand weeks of manual transcription and cross-referencing to isolate exact property lines, easements, and historical liens.

Unlike horizontal document parsers like Kira Systems or labor-intensive abstractor BPO services, this solution is purpose-built for spatial land records. It delivers results priced per completed tract abstract rather than opaque hourly billing. Every extracted boundary is backed by deterministic spatial proofs, providing exact certainty over property lines without the latency of manual title searchers.

## Startup Offer

**Proof**:
- Targeting a 90% reduction in manual GIS plotting time for commercial title analysts.
- Aiming to process standard multi-page typed deeds into valid, closed GeoJSON in under 60 seconds.
- Designed to eliminate manual transcription errors by providing deterministic, math-backed proofs for every plotted call.
**Tiers**:
- Name: Standard Abstract · Price: ~$15–$25 per completed abstract · Inclusions: Extraction of encumbrances and single-parcel boundary geometry from typed deeds, outputting a deterministically verified spatial proof.
- Name: Complex Chain · Price: ~$35–$60 per completed abstract · Inclusions: Processing for handwritten documents, multi-parcel deeds, and complex metes-and-bounds parsing with automatic closure-error flagging.
- Name: Volume API · Price: ~$8–$14 per completed abstract · Inclusions: Direct API endpoints intended for title agencies and GIS clearinghouses processing more than 1,000 deeds per month.
**Guarantee**: If the spatial engine cannot mathematically close the boundary geometry from the provided text, the extraction is immediately flagged for human review and the abstract is not billed.
**Business Function**: ProvideService
**Objection Handlers**:
- Historical cursive deeds are too messy for OCR: Designed with a confidence-scoring threshold that automatically routes low-legibility documents back to your manual team unbilled.
- Original deeds often contain typos or missing calls: The spatial proof engine mathematically highlights the exact segment where the boundary fails to close, accelerating manual correction.
- We need this directly in our existing mapping software: The output is intended to provide standard GeoJSON and Shapefiles designed to drop directly into ESRI ArcGIS or QGIS workflows.
- Abstractors look for subtle encumbrances AI might miss: The system is designed to extract and explicitly index every referenced easement, right-of-way, and lien alongside the geometry.

- Director of Land Administration: Appreciation for the strict confidence-scoring threshold that automatically returns messy historical cursive deeds unbilled rather than generating hallucinated boundaries.

## Startup Top Risks

**Risks**:
- Severity: existential · Description: County governments lock bulk deed record access behind exclusive vendor contracts, cutting off the raw data pipeline. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Title insurance underwriters reject automated spatial proofs without a licensed surveyor seal, stalling enterprise adoption. · Mitigation Status: unmitigated
- Severity: high · Description: Extraction models fail to parse handwritten metes and bounds in pre-1900 deeds reliably, forcing costly manual abstraction that destroys profit margins. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
- Severity: moderate · Description: General legal AI platforms fine-tune their document processing pipelines for deed extraction and undercut the per-tract pricing. · Mitigation Status: in-progress
