NEPA Is a Lifecycle. Most Tools Treat It Like a Document.
Fragmented delivery
Consultants, studies, and agencies operate across disconnected artifacts without a shared, auditable workspace.
→Drives 00 –00 year review cycles
Deadlines + record risk
Consultation timelines slip, rationale gets buried, and the administrative record becomes hard to defend under scrutiny.
→0%0% miss statutory timelines
Mitigation doesn’t land
Commitments are approved in documents but fail to translate into operational controls, owners, and monitoring.
→$0M+$0M+ per EIS in rework and coordination
From Static Reports to a Living Compliance Record
OPEF replaces document-centric workflows with structured NEPA intelligence. Every statement, decision, and commitment is traceable to evidence, law, and outcomes.

Everything Required to Run NEPA in One System
Four workspaces align to how teams actually execute NEPA: screening, drafting, alternatives, and public engagement. They run on a single source of truth for evidence and citations, backed by a knowledge base that keeps decisions consistent and reviewable.
