Expansion packs

Packs of prebuilt tools, for the discipline you practise.

A CoLateral seat buys the workspace: an infinite canvas, the agents that work on it, a terminal, spreadsheets, notes and schedules, and the ability to build a tool by describing what it should do. A pack is one discipline's tools already built, so you would not have to build them yourself. None of the packs below is available yet - they are named so you can see where this is going, and there is nothing to buy on this page.

Not available yet

Structural Engineering Pack

A prebuilt suite for building structures - steel, concrete, wood and mass timber, masonry and foundations - with the Canadian climatic data behind them. Not offered, not priced, and not part of a seat.

No price and no date

Not available yet

Mechanical Engineering Pack

HVAC loads, duct and pipe sizing, equipment schedules and the submittal paperwork around them.

No price and no date

Not available yet

Electrical Engineering Pack

Load calculations, feeder and conductor sizing, panel schedules and short circuit screening.

No price and no date

A seat is the only thing CoLateral sells today, and it is fully usable without a pack - see seat pricing. No pack has a price, a button or a date.

Until a pack exists

What a seat gives you with no pack at all

The workspace is the product, and it does not wait on a pack. A seat is an infinite canvas, AI agents that read the project around them, a terminal, spreadsheets, schedules and notes, document and PDF work, and the ability to describe a calculation and have it built beside the files it belongs to.

Nothing here assumes a discipline

The canvas, the agents, the terminal, the sheets and the notes know nothing about beams, ducts or feeders. A mechanical, electrical, civil, process or software engineer opens the same workspace an engineer in any other discipline does.

Build the tool instead of waiting for it

Describe the calculation, the checker or the report you want in plain language and it is built on the canvas, next to the spreadsheet and the terminal it has to work with. See what the workspace does and what you would be building on.

Still your engineering judgment

Anything the workspace produces is a design aid and stays in draft until a qualified engineer reviews and approves it. Nothing here moves that responsibility anywhere.

Availability

No pack is for sale

Every pack named above is planned work. None of them has a price, a checkout button or a promised date, and a seat is not sold on the expectation of one arriving. When a pack is genuinely ready to be offered, it will be priced on this page and not before.

Closed beta

A beta seat is the whole workspace

Approved testers get the workspace at no charge for the length of the beta, with nothing taken away or invoiced part way through. There is no pack to add and no pack to be billed for later.

The one thing that carries a price is a platform seat. Firm seats are arranged directly - get in touch.

Build your own

If your discipline has no pack yet, describe the tool instead

The platform is the point

CoLateral's core skill is not any one discipline. It is that an engineer can describe a calculation, a checker or a report in plain language and have it built on the canvas, beside the spreadsheet and the notes and the terminal it has to work with. A pack would be a convenience - somebody already did the describing - not a requirement.

Useful to a mechanical, electrical or software engineer today

The packs named above are where this is going, and none of them is available. That does not put the workspace out of reach: a mechanical engineer buys a seat, builds the duct sizing sheet and the equipment schedule they actually use, and keeps them on the canvas with the agents that read them.

What you build stays yours

A tool you describe into existence lives in your workspace and on your own disk. It does not become a pack you have to buy back later.

Want a tool nobody has built yet? Apply for a beta seat and build it on the canvas while the beta runs.
