Source-traceable report drafting

Phase I reports in hours, not days.

Aster AI turns EDR packages, field observations, and firm standards into a cited ASTM E1527-21 draft for the senior Environmental Professional to review.

Built for small environmental consulting firms. The EP remains the final reviewer and certifying professional.

The capacity constraint

Writing time limits the work your firm can accept.

A typical Phase I takes days of writing after the site visit and records review. Aster AI compresses the drafting window without changing the EP’s review responsibility.

Source to draft

One defensible workflow from evidence to EP review.

The product lives inside the drafting window. Job intake, EDR ordering, the site visit, firm QA/QC, and client delivery remain in your existing workflow.

Every section, tied back to evidence.

You sign the report. Nothing changes about that.

Aster AI drafts. You review, edit, and certify. Every REC determination, professional opinion, and conclusion passes under your judgment before delivery.

The output is a draft—a very good draft—but it is a draft.

Your ASTM E1527-21 obligations remain unchanged. The system supports the work; it does not replace professional judgment.

Questions senior EPs ask

Skepticism is appropriate.

A drafting system should earn trust with traceability, explicit limits, and predictable exception handling.

How is this different from ChatGPT?

General-purpose language models do not parse EDR packages or structure work around ASTM E1527-21. Aster AI maps the actual source materials consultants use into a report workflow with citations, review states, and explicit gaps.

What about liability?

The EP signing the report remains responsible. Your review is the quality gate—the same role you hold today when a junior staff member drafts a section for you.

Can I trust the output?

Every factual claim is cited to the underlying package or uploaded material. Every REC analysis includes a rationale. Unsupported claims surface as review items or data gaps.

What if my site is unusual?

Sparse records, conflicting historical uses, unclear tank status, incomplete interviews, and other exceptions are surfaced for EP judgment rather than smoothed into unsupported narrative.

Pricing

Simple per-report pricing.

No charge for parsing supported EDR packages, revisions, template updates, onboarding, training, or future ASTM standard updates.

At the Standard rate, drafting costs less than one-sixth of a typical $375 EDR package. Any savings claim should still be validated against your firm’s actual workflow.
