ManaReview.ai — Environmental Decision Intelligence Software

AI-Powered Environmental & Indigenous Decision Intelligence

ManaReview.ai is a Māori-led technology platform supporting environmental assessment, regulatory analysis, cultural impact assessment and institutional decision-making across jurisdictions.

Mana Review AI serves Indigenous governments, iwi and hapū, environmental consultancies, regulatory authorities, government institutions, research institutions and international development organisations.

For Iwi and Hapū

Every consent, infrastructure proposal and development project contains signals. Mana Review AI helps iwi identify cultural and environmental risk earlier, strengthen engagement and negotiation, retain institutional knowledge and recognise credible opportunities for participation and economic value.

Protect Value. Find Value. Retain Value.

Protect Value: Identify risks, effects, evidence gaps and strategic issues earlier. Find Value: Recognise credible opportunities in monitoring, restoration, procurement, workforce development, services and partnerships. Retain Value: Keep knowledge, precedent, decisions and organisational intelligence within the organisation.

The Wrap-Around Service

Review: AI-supported review of complex environmental and development information. Interpret: Cultural, environmental, regulatory and strategic interpretation. Respond: Support for assessment pathways, engagement, negotiation, mitigation, monitoring and next steps. Recognise Opportunity: Where credible and appropriate, identify potential participation, service, procurement, capability, partnership or strategic opportunities.

Indigenous AI Governance

The deployment of artificial intelligence in environmental, cultural and governance contexts requires careful, culturally grounded oversight. Mana Review AI provides Indigenous AI governance advisory for boards, government agencies and iwi leadership.

Ancient Intelligence

Ancient Intelligence explores what living systems, Indigenous knowledge and older systems of thought can teach us about intelligence, authority, responsibility and the technologies we are creating. Ancient Intelligence is the connected intellectual and research platform. Mana Review AI is the primary commercial business.

Service definitions

Software and services, clearly separated.

AI-generated analysis, professional human review and cultural authorisation are different things. Our pricing treats them that way.

Software · credits

Preliminary Cultural Assessment

PCA

Our core AI-generated assessment. Upload a consent document and receive a structured preliminary cultural assessment in minutes — cultural triggers, statutory obligations, evidence gaps, audit-ready output for practitioner review.

Generated with credits. The agreed price is shown before generation.

Optional paid service

Professional Assessment Review

REV

Expert human review, interpretation, technical input and recommendations on a preliminary assessment. A professional service in its own right — visibly separate from automated PCA generation.

Quoted per assessment.

Commissioned

Full Cultural Impact Assessment

CIA

A separately commissioned, comprehensive professional service. Reports can be around 80 pages — including complex and fast-track proposals — with substantive document analysis, research, engagement, drafting, professional quality assurance, revisions and cultural review or authorisation by the appropriate authority.

Individually scoped and quoted. Never a fixed credit price.

Commissioned

Specialist Advisory

ADV

Environmental, cultural, regulatory and governance advisory — for assessments, consent processes, negotiations and strategic decision-making.

Scope and fees agreed by proposal.

Plans are not presented as immediately purchasable — every plan begins with an enquiry, and terms are agreed with you before any commitment. Nothing recurring is charged without your approval.

The fifth category

Government & International.

From NZ$120,000 annually

Larger contracts priced by proposal

Institutional licensing for government agencies, councils, international institutions, Indigenous organisations and multilateral programmes whose deployment, governance and procurement needs go beyond a standard Enterprise licence. The same commercial valuation principles apply in every jurisdiction.

A New Zealand council licence may typically be scoped around NZ$120,000 to NZ$150,000 annually, depending on organisational scale and contracted requirements — an indicative commercial target, not a guaranteed package. Specific deliverables, support levels and AI processing allowances are confirmed by individual contract.

A standard successfully generated PCA consumes one credit, subject to final approval. Credit allowances are confirmed in your licence terms. Environmental monitoring repository and reporting functions are in development; GIS integration is not currently available and is not offered as an Enterprise entitlement.

What you are buying

Four different things, deliberately separate.

Credits, licences, implementation and professional services are priced and contracted separately — so you always know what a charge is for.

AI processing credits

Used for successful chargeable AI-generated outputs. A standard PCA consumes one credit, with the agreed price shown before generation — and downloading a completed report never consumes another.

Software licensing

Contracts access to the platform, your workspace and applicable organisational capabilities — from individual self-service to Professional, Organisation, Enterprise and institutional licences.

Implementation and configuration

Additional technical and institutional work required for your deployment — jurisdictional and knowledge configuration, onboarding and training. Quoted as a one-time project for institutional licences.

Professional services

Separately commissioned work: Professional Assessment Review, comprehensive Cultural Impact Assessments and specialist advisory. A comprehensive CIA is a substantive engagement — often around 80 pages — individually quoted.

A comprehensive Cultural Impact Assessment is never represented as a one-credit preliminary assessment — it is a separately quoted professional engagement. And a completed report can be downloaded as many times as you need, without generating another AI-processing charge.

International & Government Licensing

The same commercial principles, everywhere.

ManaReview.ai offers institutionally scoped licensing in New Zealand and internationally. Pricing reflects the scale of deployment, regulatory jurisdictions, organisational requirements, AI processing, knowledge governance, implementation and support. Government and international arrangements are individually contracted.

Our New Zealand pricing establishes the commercial value of the platform. The same valuation principles apply internationally — an international proposal may cost more because of genuine additional requirements of the deployment, never simply because a customer's currency is stronger. New Zealand pricing is a reference point and a foundation, not a discount or a ceiling.

An implementation or localisation project

A separately priced one-time project — jurisdictional configuration, onboarding and training.

03

Annual licensing fees, one-time implementation or localisation projects and additional contracted usage are each priced and disclosed separately in your proposal. Proposals may be quoted in NZD, USD, EUR, AUD or another agreed currency. No fixed international rate card is published, and no sovereign or on-premises infrastructure is promised beyond what is expressly agreed in your proposal.

Casual · PCA generation

How credits work

PCA generation runs on ManaReview.ai credits — NZ$20 per standard credit, NZ$200 per 10 credits — with the agreed price always shown before generation. Credits suit occasional users; licence allowances suit teams with regular volumes.

One credit, one standard PCA

A standard, successfully generated Preliminary Cultural Assessment consumes one credit — subject to final approval.

Generated reports and downloads are different things

The number of reports you generate consumes credits. Downloading an already generated completed report does not — download a completed report as many times as you need, at no additional credit.

Regeneration, disclosed first

A new or substantive regeneration of an assessment may require another credit — the agreed price is always shown before you generate.

Complex, multi-document cases

More complex document processing may require additional credits according to an approved, disclosed rule — shown before generation, never a surprise charge.

Top up whenever you need

Extra credits are NZ$20 each and can be purchased at any time — our team arranges packs within one business day.

Finite by design

Subscriptions have defined usage allowances. Unlimited AI generation is not included in any plan.

Credit carry-forward, renewal and expiry arrangements are confirmed with you in your licence terms. Recurring credit purchases, automatic replenishment and subscription billing are in development.

Safeguards

Our commitments.

Credit balances, existing agreements and historical customer arrangements are unaffected. No customer is migrated automatically.

AI-generated analysis, professional review and cultural authorisation are distinct services — priced and delivered separately.

Personal review by Tui Shortland applies only where that service has been purchased and accepted.

Indigenous data sovereignty, confidentiality and intellectual property protections apply to every engagement.
