Every building already knows its way out
Clearpathly exists because a building's escape routes are implied by its geometry — yet turning drawings into compliant signage has always meant weeks of manual takeoffs, site walks, and review cycles. We built the engine that closes that gap in minutes.
Make correct egress signage the default, not a luxury
Life-safety signage quality shouldn't depend on a facility's budget for consultants. By automating the geometric reasoning — extraction, routing, placement, and code citation — Clearpathly makes inspector-ready signage achievable for a garden-style apartment complex on the same terms as a flagship hospital. The company was founded by Mei Fitzpatrick and operates independently. Reach the team at meik@clearpathly.org.
How we work
Never Guess Geometry
An ambiguous wall gets flagged for human review, not resolved by probability. In life safety, a wrong sign is worse than a late one — so the platform escalates uncertainty instead of hiding it.
The Code Is the Spec
NFPA, IBC, ISO, and ADA requirements live inside the routing solver as hard constraints. Compliance isn't a report we run at the end; it's the shape of the solution space itself.
Ship the Artifact
Our deliverable is signage on a wall and a packet an inspector will accept. Not a dashboard, not a subscription to a viewer — the physical, installed outcome is the product.
Minutes of computation. Decades of drawings. One job.
Most of the built world is documented in formats no modern tool reads willingly — microfilm scans, hand-drafted linens, half-migrated CAD archives. We treat those documents as first-class inputs, because the buildings that need better egress signage most are rarely the ones with pristine BIM models.
