BuildPrompt’s AI solution for HS2 revolutionises infrastructure project documentation verification, transforming a critical but previously unaddressed challenge. By automating the analysis of complex verification and validation matrices (VVM), it has turned a two-week manual process into an operation completed in less than 35 seconds.
HS2’s requirements management team faced a huge documentation challenge: 37,983 requirements spanning 19 areas and 89 modules across 34 major contracts; the team received approximately 20 Single Assurance Packs monthly, each containing verification documentation requiring multiple reviews.
