For 20 years I’ve run Paramount, a land services company with 55 land professionals. The same problems never went away. The experts who know how to read a chain of title are retiring, and fewer people are entering the field. Most of a landman’s day goes to searching and reading to find the handful of facts that matter. The same tract gets researched again and again, sometimes by the same company, because nobody could find the last runsheet.
Rowland Read takes on the reading. Drop in deeds, leases, assignments and scans, even faded or handwritten ones. Read sorts each document into one of 47 land and energy types. It pulls out parties, dates, book and page, and legal descriptions, then drafts the runsheet in date order. Every value links to the page it came from, and when Read isn’t sure, it tells you why. You see the price before anything is read. The landman still makes the call.
We built it with Paramount’s team as our design partner and test lab, so people who do this work every day shaped it.
We’d love your feedback on two things: → UI/UX. We want it to feel obvious from the first click. Where did you hesitate? → Strategy. Read is the first of three products, with Work and Run to follow.
