Set rules once.POD obeys forever.

“Use ‘fall protection’ not ‘PFAS.’” “Every cost variance over $10K mentions the trade.” Plain English. Enforced everywhere.

THE PROBLEM

AI without guardrails reads like a stranger wrote it.

Every team has its own vocabulary, its own required fields, its own banned phrases. AI doesn’t know any of them. Until now.

Your field guys say one thing. Your AI says another.

The team says “fall protection.” The AI report says “PFAS.” Every brief sounds like it came from a stranger.

Your CFO needs the trade. Your AI summary skips it.

Cost variances appear in the brief. The affected trade — the thing the CFO actually reads for — is buried in a footer or missing entirely.

Legal banned a phrase. The AI keeps writing it.

“As-built” must never appear in pre-completion documents. The AI doesn’t know. Every weekly report becomes a manual edit pass.

THE MECHANISM

One admin. One rule. Every surface obeys.

POD reads your House Rules at the prompt layer of every AI generation. The rule isn’t a guideline — it’s a hard constraint the AI must satisfy.

The rule lives in one place. POD applies it to every brief, alert, Ask POD answer, and insight your org generates. No retraining. No syntax. No code.

THREE RULES IN ACTION

What changes when POD obeys.

Rule: Use “fall protection” not “PFAS” in safety briefs.
BEFORE
Crew completed PFAS check at 0700. PFAS gear inspected per protocol.
AFTER (with house rule)
Crew completed fall protection check at 0700. Fall protection gear inspected per protocol.
Rule: Every cost variance over $10K must mention the affected trade.
BEFORE
Project is $42K over budget this month. Recommend review of recent change orders.
AFTER (with house rule)
Project is $42K over budget this month (Electrical trade, +$31K; Mechanical trade, +$11K). Recommend review.
Rule: Always end Ask POD answers with the literal sentence “Verified by POD.”
BEFORE
CPI is 1.02 and SPI is 1.04. Project is ahead of plan and under budget.
AFTER (with house rule)
CPI is 1.02 and SPI is 1.04. Project is ahead of plan and under budget. Verified by POD.
EVERY AI SURFACE OBEYS

One rule. Every surface. No exceptions.

POD’s AI generates content across four customer-visible surfaces. Your House Rules govern every one of them.

Morning Briefs
Every daily brief reflects your terminology and required fields.
Ask POD
Every question gets an answer in your voice. Even the ones field users ask.
POD Insights
Every auto-generated insight obeys your rules — across all your specialist agents.
Evidence Coach
Every coaching narrative respects your tone and required-content rules.
AUDIT TRAIL

See which rules shaped which words.

Every AI-generated artifact records the rules that influenced it. A small badge on any brief, alert, or insight expands to show the exact rules POD applied.

  • Full transparency for compliance audits
  • Disable a rule → next generation drops it from the trail
  • Cross-org isolation: only your rules appear in your artifacts

WHO USES HOUSE RULES

Four roles. Same problem. One solution.

VP Operations
60-project GC

My field guys say “fall protection,” not “PFAS.” My CFO insists every cost variance over $10K must mention the trade. I add these two rules once. Every superintendent, every PM, every site obeys forever — without me training anyone.

Compliance Officer
Healthcare GC

Our legal team requires the phrase “as-built” never appear in pre-completion documents. House Rule. Done. Zero training calls.

Owner’s Rep
Multi-tier developer

Every PCO summary must include the responsible party AND the cost-impact estimate. POD’s default summaries are good. With my House Rule, they’re our template.

Subcontractor Coordinator
Specialty contractor

Always reference the master schedule milestone in any delay-related insight. POD obeys. My reports look like the master scheduler wrote them.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked.

The rule wins. POD’s AI is instructed that house rules are mandatory and override conflicting requests. If you ask Ask POD to write something that violates a rule, the AI will follow the rule.

Five rules. Five minutes. Five-year voice consistency.

Free tier starts you with five rules. Add them once. POD obeys them forever.
