For oil and gas land services
Landspect is the system of record for oil and gas land work. It reads your deeds, runs your title, plots your tracts, and tracks who owns what, from the courthouse to the division order.
Private beta, no card required. Built by a 22-year landman for firms running 10 to 500 landmen.

The problem
The tools landmen reach for are still spreadsheets, scanners, and a CAD license. Meanwhile the deed stack keeps growing.
Running a chain of title by hand eats most of a workday on a single tract. Now multiply that across a deal.
One wrong row in the interest math poisons every downstream owner. Caught at the title opinion, not before.
Clauses like "reserving unto grantor an undivided 1/2 of all minerals" vanish in a quick scan. Until curative finds it.
Excel for the runsheet, CAD for the plat, Word for the ownership report. None of them talk to each other.
The extraction
Drop a deed and Landspect walks the calls, plots the polygon, runs closure, and pulls every field the runsheet needs: grantor, grantee, dates, book and page, acreage, mineral interest, and the reservations the chain hinges on.
Full deed metadata
Volume and page, instrument number, effective date, signing date, recording date, acreage, mineral interest conveyed.
Call-type aware
Perimeter, tie, bearing tree, and adjoiner calls classified separately. The polygon walks only what belongs.
Reservation detection
A clause like reserving unto grantor an undivided one-half of all minerals surfaces as a structured event the chain consumes.

Chain of title
Every verified deed updates the running mineral fractions and extends the chain. Reservations split the interest. Affidavits of heirship fan out the heirs. Conveyances trace forward. At any point you can see exactly who owns what, and how they got there.

Capabilities
A vision LLM reads bearings, distances, parties, dates, and reservations from scanned deeds, phone photos, and PDFs. Confidence scored per field.
Running interest balance recomputed on every verified deed. Reservations split correctly. Heirship fans out automatically.
Every deed waits behind a CPL review before touching the chain. The landman is the final QC pass, not the AI.
Mineral, royalty, NPRI, life estate, and reversion clauses surface as structured events.
The chain draws itself. Conveyances, reservations, intestate splits, and partition events all in one tree.
How it works
The same loop a landman runs by hand today. Landspect keeps the CPL in the verify seat and automates everything around it.
Drop a scanned deed, PDF, or phone photo. Warranty, mineral, quitclaim, AOH. Landspect reads them all.
Grantor, grantee, effective and signing dates, volume and page, acreage, mineral interest conveyed, and the reservations the chain hinges on.
Landspect gates every deed behind a CPL review. Fix anything the AI got wrong. Confirm before it touches the chain.
Each verified deed updates the running mineral fractions, adds a runsheet row, and extends the family tree. No spreadsheet.
Runsheet, ownership report, legal plat (PDF), DXF for CAD, KML for Google Earth. One click each.
Run the numbers
Title research and runsheet work eats roughly forty percent of a landman’s billable day. Adjust the inputs to match your shop and see today vs. Landspect side by side.

Assumptions: Landspect automates extraction, fractional interest math, and runsheet generation. We hold back fifteen percent of title hours for CPL verification and curative judgment, which stays human. The savings number reflects that. Move the sliders to see your shop’s outcome.
Founders
Landspect is built by people who actually run the deeds. Twenty-two years of land plus GIS expertise paired with software that ships.
I have run title by hand for two decades. Landspect does in thirty seconds what used to take me an hour, the fractions stay honest, and the chain visualization catches things a spreadsheet never would.
