Document Crunch is revolutionizing risk management in the $14 trillion global construction industry, addressing a critical challenge where 50% of projects finish over budget or behind schedule. In this episode of Category Visionaries, we sat down with Josh Levy, a former construction attorney turned tech founder who has raised $38 million to bring AI-powered contract intelligence to an industry plagued by legal complexity and financial risk. Document Crunch helps construction professionals understand and comply with complex contract terms, democratizing legal expertise that was previously available only to the largest firms with in-house counsel. Topics Discussed: Document Crunch's mission to reduce the $43 million average construction lawsuit by improving contract administration How construction's thin margins make document compliance critical to profitability The company's evolution from a "Harvey for construction" to a field-ready construction AI platform Josh's journey from construction management major to attorney to tech founder The importance of authentic industry expertise in construction tech How the construction technology landscape has evolved over the past five years Document Crunch's partnership with Procore and vision for industry transformation GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Build solutions from lived experience: Josh's background as a construction attorney gave him deep industry knowledge that translated directly into product vision. He explains, "You can't fake what the experience brings to you...I close my eyes and think about interactions I've had with stakeholders that now are our user base in my former life." This authentic industry expertise has been critical to Document Crunch's success and ability to maintain a clear vision without pivoting. Focus on problems, not features: Josh learned early to emphasize the real-world problems Document Crunch solves rather than its AI capabilities. "We're not like an AI company. We're solving complex risks for our industry company," he notes. This problem-focused approach resonated more with construction professionals than technical features. Only recently has the company begun highlighting its AI capabilities, as the market has caught up with the technology. Marketing in verticals requires authentic brand building: In construction tech, Josh emphasizes that "brand reputation matters so much" and "that's not something you can fake your way to. That's earned on the conference floor. That's earned in the relationships." Document Crunch built trust by assembling a team of construction industry experts alongside their technical talent, creating credibility that has fueled adoption. Product-market fit comes from consistent industry focus: Document Crunch achieved success without pivoting because they remained focused on construction's specific challenges. Josh explains, "Zero freaking pivots, man. Zero. I always knew that we had a problem not just in the back office, but in the field." This clarity enabled them to refine their product methodically rather than chasing different markets. Find founder-market fit for vertical SaaS: For founders interested in construction tech, Josh advises, "My founder-market fit was a huge unlock at the onset of this venture." He recommends either having deep industry knowledge yourself or partnering with someone who does, as construction is "a unique industry" that requires specialized understanding. This principle applies broadly to any vertical-focused B2B solution. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co

Josh Levy and Trent Miskelly are out to disrupt document review in construction after founding artificial intelligence-powered Document Crunch. Jeff Yoders crunches the words with these entrepreneurs in a tech talk on the ENR Critical Path podcast.
Does the construction industry need more attorneys, or do we simply need contractors to better understand the construction contract process? Josh Levy, CEO of Document Crunch and an attorney, believes it's all about understanding the process rather than hiring more lawyers. He offers deep insights into how they are helping project teams navigate the complex area of construction contracts.Many individuals are passionate about improving the construction industry through their expertise. In this episode, you will feel Josh's immense passion for making the industry safer and better through risk assessment and the negotiation process of construction contracts. Think it sounds dull? Trust me, this episode is anything but! Josh openly admits he's not a tech guy, even though Document Crunch is a leading AI company. For them, technology is secondary to solving contract compliance issues in the construction industry. We MUST reduce risk through proper assessment, understand proper negotiations, and educate project teams on contract obligations. How can the project team be supported? Let's dive into Dave and Steve's conversation with Josh Levy to find out how Crunching Contracts is the Intersection of AI and Assessing Risk.
Josh Levy is the CEO and co-founder of Document Crunch, an innovative company dedicated to explaining construction contracts as simply as possible. With a background in Construction Management from the University of Florida and an enriching experience as a construction law clerk, Josh's journey into construction and technology solutions is as compelling as it is impactful. This episode shares why Josh is so passionate about reducing risk in construction, how Document Crunch was born out of necessity, and the broader applications of their technology beyond just construction contracts. Key Takeaways: A little bit about Josh and his role at Document Crunch. How did Josh get into construction management and technology solutions? Why is construction so risky? Everything stems from what's written in the contract. If something bad or unexpected happens, the contract should have it covered and noted. Why is Josh so passionate about this industry? How does Document Crunch work? Is Document Crunch just limited to construction contracts? Josh shares what attracted him the most to this industry when he was first studying it in college. When it came time to start his own company, what pushed Josh to become entrepreneurial? So many people don't take their shot. Sometimes now is as good a time as any to take that risk. What's next for Josh and his company? Josh believes younger folks should be investing in soft skills because that's something AI won't be able to take over as easily. The contract is key at the end of the day, which means everyone who signs it or is involved in it, needs to understand in layman's terms what the contract covers. Why does Josh have an American flag behind him? He shares a quick story. Josh's final piece of advice: Learn as much as you can and then don't be afraid to take the risk.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Is This Lie Detector Really Just a Lie Detector? An Investigation of LLM Probe Specificity., published by Josh Levy on June 4, 2024 on The AI Alignment Forum. Whereas previous work has focused primarily on demonstrating a putative lie detector's sensitivity/generalizability[1][2], it is equally important to evaluate its specificity. With this in mind, I evaluated a lie detector trained with a state-of-the-art, white-box technique - probing an LLM's (Mistral-7B) activations during production of facts/lies - and found that it had high sensitivity but low specificity. The detector might be better thought of as identifying when the LLM is not doing fact-based retrieval, which spans a much wider surface area than what we'd want to cover. Interestingly, different LLMs yielded very different specificity-sensitivity tradeoff profiles. I found that the detector could be made more specific through data augmentation, but that this improved specificity did not transfer to other domains, unfortunately. I hope that this study sheds light on some of the remaining gaps in our tooling for and understanding of lie detection - and probing more generally - and points in directions toward improving them. You can find the associated code here, and a rendered version of the main notebook here. Summary Methodology 1. I implemented a lie detector as a pip package called lmdoctor, primarily based on the methodology described in Zou et al.'s Representation Engineering work[1][3]. Briefly, the detector is a linear probe trained on the activations from an LLM prompted with contrastive pairs from the True/False dataset by Azaria & Mitchell[4] so as to elicit representations of honesty/dishonesty[5]. I used the instruction-tuned Mistral-7B model[6] for the main results, and subsequently analyzed a few other LLMs. 2. I evaluated the detector on several datasets that were intended to produce LLM responses covering a wide range of areas that an LLM is likely to encounter: 1. Lie Requests: explicit requests for lies (or facts) 2. Unanswerable Questions: requests for responses to unanswerable (or answerable) factual questions, designed to promote hallucinations (or factual responses) 3. Creative Content: requests for fictional (or factual) content like stories (or histories) 4. Objective, Non-Factual Questions: requests for responses requiring reasoning/coding 5. Subjective Content: requests for subjective responses like preferences/opinions (or objective responses) 3. For each area, I created a small test dataset using GPT-4. In some places, this was because I didn't find anything suitable to cover that area, but in other cases it was just the fastest route, and a more rigorous analysis with extant datasets would be in order. Findings 1. Dataset Evaluations (on Mistral-7B): 1. The detector is sensitive to dishonesty: it generalizes to detect lies in response to both novel Lie Requests ("please tell me a lie about…") and Unanswerable Questions (i.e. hallucinations)[7]. 2. The detector greatly lacks specificity: it will trigger when the LLM produces fictional Creative Content and also when responding correctly to Objective, Non-Factual Questions (e.g. reasoning, coding). The former is undesirable but understandable: fictional Creative Content is sort of adjacent to lying. The latter suggests a deeper issue: there is no sense in which the LLM is "making something up", and therefore we'd hope our detector to be silent. The detector might be better thought of as identifying when the LLM is not doing fact-based retrieval, which spans a much wider surface area than what we'd want to cover. 3. Other observations 1. The detector seems unable to distinguish between active lying and concepts related to lying, which was also noted by Zou et al. 2. Within the context of reasoning, the detector is sensitive to triv...

Please tune in to this episode of The Building BITE Podcast, as we hear from industry experts about key topics to help you be successful. The Building BITE hosts Chris Epps, LEED AP and Mike Diercksen, CRIS, welcome Josh Levy, Co-Founder and CEO of Document Crunch. We begin the episode by discussing Josh's path from University of Florida, where he understood he was less of a brick-and-mortar type construction professional, and more into the business of construction. Josh led a successful career and ultimately found himself inundated with contract review and questions while operating as in house counsel for a large GC in the Southeast. Josh was able to collaborate and co-create Document Crunch to empower the industry, and as always gives our listeners three excellent takeaways and best practices for how to better understand your contracts: 1. The contract does not have to be a black box: There is no need to treat the contract as this quagmire, we should instead be empowering our team to better understand them so they can help make informed decisions and protect the companies bottom line. 2. Data can be used to drive good decisions: We have gotten to a place where we have enough accumulated data to be able to use that knowledge to guide our decision making process. As Josh says, “Tomorrow starts today” and firms should be looking to leverage this information to enhance their current situation and lead them into the future. 3. We have an opportunity to transform the industry: There is a proliferation of technology and solutions now that have the ability to transform the construction industry. As leaders, we are charged with taking our industry from a place of being a bottom two digitized industry to one that is a more advanced and innovative space.
