Clearstory
The Universal Change Order Log.
Overview
Clearstory is not a preconstruction bidding tool, but rather a project execution tool that addresses a related pain point: change order management. It provides a collaborative, real-time log for tracking potential changes, pricing them, and getting approvals.

It digitizes the process of creating and tracking T&M Tags and CORs.
