Limited Pilot Programme — Now Open

Your engineering knowledge base, completely offline.

Context Grid lets your team search drawings, commissioning packs, specifications and project documents using natural language — without sending a single file to the cloud.

Built for engineering firms working with revision-controlled, confidentiality-sensitive data.

Hardware cost only during pilot Runs entirely on your own hardware No cloud. No subscriptions. No migration.

The Problem

Engineers shouldn’t waste hours searching shared drives.

Your project knowledge already exists. The problem is finding it.

×

“What rev is this drawing on?”

Three emails and half a day later — still not certain.

×

Searching 15 years of projects manually

Folders nested inside folders, filenames only the original author understood.

×

New engineers can’t find institutional knowledge

Takes weeks to get up to speed — the real knowledge lives in someone’s head.

×

Superseded drawings mixed in with current ones

No clear status. A compliance and rework risk every time.

×

Cloud “fixes” create data governance problems

Client IP sent to someone else’s server. That’s not a solution — it’s a new liability.

The Solution

Ask questions in plain English. Get answers from your own files.

Context Grid connects directly to your existing project folders. No restructuring, no migration, no cloud upload. Engineers ask questions the way they actually think — and get answers backed by source citations.

✓No folder digging.

✓No SharePoint migration.

✓No cloud upload.

✓Always returns the current revision.

Which revision of the ATEX drawing was approved?
The current approved revision is Revision D, signed off 14 March 2025. Revisions A–C are present in the archive but marked superseded.

What cable spec did we use on the last CHP project?
XLPE SWA 4-core 16mm² armoured to BS 5467. Rated at 400V, selected for the external runs between the substation and plant room. Full schedule on sheet 4 of the electrical design pack.

How It Works

Built for real engineering environments.

No migration project. No change to your folder structure. Context Grid adapts to you.

1

Point at your file share

Connect to your existing network share or local data folder. No restructuring required. Context Grid works with the folder structure you already have.

2

Indexing begins automatically

Context Grid works through your archive, extracting document content, metadata, revision levels and drawing numbers. File changes are detected and re-indexed automatically.

3

Start querying in natural language

Open the browser interface from inside your network. Ask questions. Receive answers backed by your actual documents, with precise source citations and revision status.

Superseded revisions are detected and excluded from normal search results by default — so engineers always get the current picture, with the ability to look back when needed.

Supported Formats

What Context Grid reads.

Works with the file types already on your server. No conversion, no pre-processing, no manual tagging.

PDF

Full text, page-by-page with precise citation

DOCX

Specs, SOWs, method statements, procedures

XLSX

Schedules, equipment lists, I/O tables, multi-sheet workbooks

DWG

Text layers, title block data, drawing number & revision

TXT / MD

Correspondence, notes, procedures, change logs

Archives

Legacy project archives and deep folder structures

Automatic metadata extraction

Drawing numbers, revision levels, project codes and document status are extracted automatically from filenames and folder structures. No manual tagging required.

Revision awareness built in

Context Grid detects revision patterns in filenames and document metadata. Superseded revisions are flagged and excluded from default results — engineers always get the current document.

Continuous file watching

When a file changes, the index updates automatically. No scheduled jobs, no manual re-indexing. The knowledge base stays current without any intervention.

Why Context Grid

Why engineering firms choose Context Grid.

Completely Offline

No cloud dependency. No external APIs. No data leaves your network. Fully operational with zero internet access.

Understands Revision-Controlled Documents

Recognises revisions, superseded files and structured project metadata. Always the current picture, full history available when required.

Works With Existing Folder Structures

No migration project required. Keep using your current shared drives exactly as they are. Context Grid adapts to your structure.

Natural Language Retrieval

Ask questions the way engineers actually think. No Boolean operators, no exact filename recall. The system finds the document.

Designed for Confidential Industries

Built for environments where confidentiality is non-negotiable. Ideal for:

Electrical & Mechanical Engineering Oil & Gas Hazardous Areas / ATEX Nuclear Defence Aviation MRO Pharmaceutical Facilities Management

Data Sovereignty

Your data stays yours.

Context Grid was designed for companies where confidentiality is non-negotiable. Everything runs locally. No internet connection is required after setup. You remain in full control of your engineering data at all times.

Zero network egress

Context Grid operates with no outbound connections. Your documents are not indexed by any third party — not during setup, not during operation, not ever.

No third-party model exposure

The retrieval model runs locally. Documents are never sent to OpenAI, Google, Anthropic, or any other external service.

Air-gap compatible

Fully operational in isolated network environments. Appropriate for ATEX, nuclear, defence-adjacent and other regulated settings where outbound connectivity is not permitted.

No licensing callbacks or telemetry

No outbound connections for licensing verification, usage reporting, or analytics. The system operates entirely within your network boundary.

Local language model

Local vector database

Local document storage

No internet after setup
