About Plexus Impact
An environmental review intelligence platform
Plexus Impact helps organizations understand what it takes to move a project from concept to approval.
What we do
Environmental review decides where housing, infrastructure, and energy get built. The work of getting through it, figuring out which frameworks apply, which agencies participate, what studies will be required, and how comparable projects fared, is scattered across statutes, GIS layers, agency guidance, and thousands of past reviews.
Plexus brings that together. A user enters a proposed project, and the platform builds a structured workspace around it: the likely review pathways, the agencies involved, the studies and deliverables it will need, the site’s history, and the precedents that show how similar projects moved through review, every recommendation traceable to its source.
Grounded in real review records
Underneath the workspace is a unified graph of environmental review, projects, permits, facilities, sites, sponsors, agencies, and review events, resolved from public records across New York State. It is the intelligence layer that lets Plexus answer questions with evidence rather than assertion.
Decision support, with provenance
Plexus is built to be trusted by the people who do this work, consultants, planners, engineers, developers, utilities, and agencies. Every output is an indicator, a recommendation, or a precedent, never a legal determination. Model-generated text is framed as a draft and a citation, not an authority, and each claim links back to the regulation, dataset, or prior review it came from.
