Terms and definitions.

A structured record built by reading from multiple operational systems - ERP, field operations, payroll, documents - and reconciling the result against the entities that matter (projects, workers, vendors, estimates). Unlike a data warehouse, a memory layer is queryable in plain language through an AI connector. Unlike a sync layer, it accumulates knowledge across jobs rather than just moving data between systems.

The accumulated knowledge a firm carries about how it actually performs - which estimators' rates hold under pressure, which crews work on coastal sand, which subcontractors deliver at margin. In civil construction this knowledge is usually distributed across spreadsheets, project managers' heads, and closed jobs that no one can query. A memory layer makes it structured and persistent.

Australia's whole-of-government procurement information system, operated by the Department of Finance. Commonwealth agencies publish Approach to Market (ATM) notices and award data here. Demiton's public-data tools index AusTender contract awards, letting users see which firms won which packages, at what value, and under what procurement method.

Australian Business Register. The national register of entities with Australian Business Numbers (ABNs). Demiton uses the ABR to validate and resolve supplier entities - confirming legal name, entity type, and status against the disclosed supplier name in contract data.

Comprehensive Knowledge Archive Network - the open-source data portal platform used by data.qld.gov.au, data.gov.au, and other Australian government data portals. Demiton's public-data layer indexes CKAN portals for contract disclosure reports, planning approvals, and infrastructure datasets.

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central - a cloud ERP used by mid-tier construction firms for finance, project accounting, and vendor management. In Demiton Connected, Business Central is the source of per-project P&L data, cost codes, purchase orders, and vendor statements.

A field operations platform used by civil construction firms to manage worker scheduling, plant allocations, and site diary records. In Demiton Connected, Assignar is the source of structured site diary records, worker allocations, and daily labour data that feeds into per-project P&L reconciliation.

An Australian payroll software platform. In Demiton Connected, KeyPay is the source of payroll data - timesheets, leave, and pay runs - that reconciles against field allocations in Assignar and cost codes in Business Central.

An open protocol for connecting AI models to external tools and data sources. Demiton runs as an MCP server at api.demiton.io/mcp. Connecting Claude Desktop to Demiton via mcp-remote lets users query construction data in plain language. All MCP calls are OAuth 2.1 secured - an account is required on every tier.

The authentication standard Demiton uses on every MCP call. mcp-remote opens a browser window on first connection to complete sign-in with your Demiton account. No API key is pasted or stored in the config file. The Public tier is the minimum required; anonymous calls are not permitted.

A profit-and-loss statement scoped to a single construction project, built from actual cost data - not from estimates or progress claims. Demiton assembles per-project P&L by reading cost codes from Business Central, labour from Assignar, and payroll from KeyPay, then reconciling against the original estimate structure.

Site diary entries from Assignar, ingested and structured by Demiton into a searchable layer. A raw site diary is a free-text field record. A structured diary record has the same content indexed against project, date, crew, plant, weather event, and variation flag - making it queryable and comparable across jobs.

Defence Industry Security Program - the entity-level security accreditation required to bid on Defence contracts. Administered by the Defence Industry Security Branch. Civil contractors targeting open-tender packages on AusTender typically need Entry Level DISP plus Baseline-cleared supervisory staff. Not to be confused with the DIP-MC panel, which is a separate arrangement for projects over $200M.

An open-source Python package (PyPI, Apache 2.0) that classifies Australian government contract disclosure data along eight dimensions: value tier, supplier locality, procurement competition, variation intensity, engagement category, repeat-supplier, panel-vs-direct, and confidentiality. The classifier is the open-source core of the Demiton platform.

One of the eight classification dimensions in the Demiton Classifier. Derived from the procurement method field and the number of offers sought. Values: limited/sole-source, panel arrangement, and open tender. Indicates how competitive the procurement was and, by extension, how defensible the contract award is to an incoming competitor.

One of the eight classification dimensions in the Demiton Classifier. Fixed by AUD thresholds: under $50k, $50k-$1M, $1M-$10M, $10M-$100M, over $100M. Determines the significance of a contract in portfolio context and maps to the competitive dynamics of different procurement corridors.

A weekly email digest published by Demiton tracking Queensland civil procurement movements - contract awards, ATM notices, agency spending patterns, and market signals from AusTender and state portals. Available to all tiers including free Public accounts.

Demiton's live integration tier, at AU$2,917/month (AU$35,000/year) plus a one-off implementation fee. Connects Business Central, Assignar, KeyPay, SharePoint, and Entra ID into the memory layer. Delivers per-project P&L, structured site diary records, automated vendor statements, scheduling demand capture, and the Claude MCP connector against live data.
