THE PROBLEM

Title work has not changed in thirty years.

The tools landmen reach for are still spreadsheets, scanners, and a CAD license. Meanwhile the deed stack keeps growing.

  • Eight hours per tract

    Running a chain of title by hand eats most of a workday on a single tract. Now multiply that across a deal.

  • Mineral fractions break silently

    One wrong row in the interest math poisons every downstream owner. Caught at the title opinion, not before.

  • Reservations slip through

    Clauses like "reserving unto grantor an undivided 1/2 of all minerals" vanish in a quick scan. Until curative finds it.

  • Three tools, three handoffs

    Excel for the runsheet, CAD for the plat, Word for the ownership report. None of them talk to each other.

THE EXTRACTION

Every field, every call, every reservation.

Drop a deed and PlatRun 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

The family tree draws itself.

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.

  • Fractional interest math runs automatically on every conveyance.
  • Reservations and exceptions show as explicit splits, not buried in text.
  • Intestate heirship, partition suits, and divorce decrees enter the tree as branch events.
  • Click any node for the deed that created it.

CAPABILITIES

Built for the way landmen actually work.

LLM

Vision extraction

A vision LLM reads bearings, distances, parties, dates, and reservations from scanned deeds, phone photos, and PDFs. Confidence scored per field.

MATH

Mineral fraction math

Running interest balance recomputed on every verified deed. Reservations split correctly. Heirship fans out automatically.

QC

Verify gate

Every deed waits behind a CPL review before touching the chain. The landman is the final QC pass, not the AI.

LEGAL

Reservation flagging

Mineral, royalty, NPRI, life estate, and reversion clauses surface as structured events.

CHAIN

Family tree of ownership

The chain draws itself. Conveyances, reservations, intestate splits, and partition events all in one tree.

How it works

Five steps. No Excel runsheet.

The same loop a landman runs by hand today. PlatRun keeps the CPL in the verify seat and automates everything around it.

  1. STEP 01

    Upload the deed

    Drop a scanned deed, PDF, or phone photo. Warranty, mineral, quitclaim, AOH. PlatRun reads them all.

  2. STEP 02

    AI extracts every field

    Grantor, grantee, effective and signing dates, volume and page, acreage, mineral interest conveyed, and the reservations the chain hinges on.

  3. STEP 03

    You verify

    PlatRun gates every deed behind a CPL review. Fix anything the AI got wrong. Confirm before it touches the chain.

  4. STEP 04

    Chain builds itself

    Each verified deed updates the running mineral fractions, adds a runsheet row, and extends the family tree. No spreadsheet.

  5. STEP 05

    Export the package

    Runsheet, ownership report, legal plat (PDF), DXF for CAD, KML for Google Earth. One click each.

Assumptions: PlatRun 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

Built by a landman, for landmen.

PlatRun 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. PlatRun 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.
