Find it before the set leaves your office.
The consultant sheets came back the night before issue. Every conflict caught at your desk is a redline. The same conflict caught in the field is an RFI with a clock on it, answered on a schedule you don’t control. Flikt runs the cross-discipline check across all 16 disciplines in hours — before you issue for permit, for bid, or for construction. The same pass your QA/QC does, on every sheet, every revision. Most firms include the review in the fee.
Every consultant works in their own model, on their own schedule. Structural revises, MEP doesn’t get the memo, and the clash ships in the set with your title block on it — and the first person to hear about it is the GC, mid-RFI.
What you’re up against
Three things every design QA lead hears once the set is in the field.
Consultants revise on their own clocks; the last-minute structural change never makes it into the MEP backgrounds.
Manual cross-discipline checks don’t fit a compressed CD schedule. Something always ships unchecked.
When a discipline conflict reaches the GC, it’s your document and your problem to answer — regardless of which consultant drifted.

Here’s what changes
Same-day review of the 2D set
Run it after consultants upload, before you issue. All 16 disciplines cross-referenced while there’s still time to fix quietly.
Cross-discipline conflict matrix, cited
Every finding names the sheet, the discipline pair, and the conflict. A punch list for your team, not a black box.
Resolved-findings audit trail
A record of what was caught and fixed pre-issue — the artifact you want when someone asks how the set was checked.
Every discipline, one pass
Each of these is read against every other one — that cross-reference is where the conflicts live. See the finding types that come back, with real examples from the published reports, or read where this is the wrong tool for the job.
Issue cleaner documents.
