(licensed NY Professional Engineer, 18 years), Matthew P. Moscati AIA, LEED AP (licensed Registered Architect, 19 years), and Michael W. Johnston (finance-trained project manager). Customer segments include lenders and financial institutions, attorneys handling real estate transactions and litigation, developers, community associations (HOAs, condominiums, townhouses, senior housing), and retailers. Revenue is generated entirely through project-based professional services fees priced per engagement via direct quote requests; there is no subscription, SaaS, or recurring revenue component, and pricing is not publicly disclosed.
