CONSTRUCTION INTELLIGENCE / PREVAILING WAGE
Send us your certified payroll and the applicable wage determination. Mirage cross-references every classification and rate and flags what doesn't match in 48 hours.
Would be Mirage's first deployment on certified payroll, built on the same discrepancy-flagging agents already running at OCBM and a US rail contractor.
THE REALITY
Certified payroll checked against a wage determination by hand, classification by classification, is slow and easy to get wrong on a large crew. A misclassification or an underpaid rate usually surfaces during an audit, months after the payroll periods it affects have already closed.
WHAT MIRAGE DOES
01
Mirage reads each WH-347 or state-equivalent certified payroll submission and matches every worker classification against the applicable wage determination.
02
Every flagged discrepancy names the worker, the classification, and the wage determination clause it doesn't match. Nothing is corrected automatically -- the flag goes to your compliance officer with the reasoning attached.
03
Runs again automatically on each new certified payroll submission, without anyone triggering it manually. Connects to the payroll and document systems already in place.
THE OUTPUT
| Worker Classification | Payroll Rate | Wage Determination Rate | Status |

| Electrician, Journeyman | $42.50/hr + fringe | $42.50/hr + fringe | Matched |
| Laborer, Group 2↳ This payroll line pays below the wage determination's rate for Laborer, Group 2. Flagged for the compliance officer before the next certified payroll is filed. | $28.75/hr + fringe | $31.20/hr + fringe | Flagged |
| Operator, Crane | $46.00/hr + fringe | $46.00/hr + fringe | Matched |
| Carpenter, Apprentice (1st period) | $24.00/hr | $24.00/hr, no fringe required 1st period | Matched |

FAQ
Not certified payroll specifically -- this would be Mirage's first deployment on this document type. The cross-reference-and-flag agents involved are the same ones already running in production at OCBM and a US rail contractor, applied here to certified payroll (WH-347) against a wage determination instead of a spec against plans.
No. Mirage cross-references certified payroll against the applicable wage determination and flags what doesn't match. Your compliance officer still investigates each flag and decides what action it requires.
A worker classification, hourly rate, or fringe benefit amount on a certified payroll that doesn't match the wage determination applicable to that classification and locality, or a classification that doesn't appear on the determination at all.
Yes. Federal Davis-Bacon wage determinations and state-level prevailing wage schedules are both read the same way, matched against the payroll for the project's applicable jurisdiction.
Yes. Each certified payroll submission is checked against the current wage determination as it's filed, and only new or changed discrepancies are flagged, rather than re-reviewing the entire payroll history every time.
Yes. Every flag names the worker classification, the payroll line, and the specific wage determination clause it doesn't match. The reasoning is attached to the flag itself.
Under four weeks on average to a production deployment: indexing your current wage determinations and payroll format first, then a parallel pilot on one active project's certified payroll.
Pricing starts with a fixed-price pilot run against one active project's certified payroll and wage determination, so you see real flagged discrepancies before committing to anything larger. After that, it moves to an annual subscription priced by volume, quoted in your first conversation with us.
