Who is behind Atlas.
Before you send a menu to anyone, it is fair to ask who is going to read it and what happens to it afterwards. Here are both, in full.
Atlas is the menu review service of NutraPlanner, a nutrition software company in Calgary, Alberta. Every review is read and signed by a dietitian registered with the College of Dietitians of Alberta.
The details
The questions an administrator asks before sending anything, answered directly.
Who reviews the menu
A dietitian registered with the College of Dietitians of Alberta. The review letter carries their name, registration and the date they signed it — the same details an operator would give a regulator.
What Atlas is
A menu review service for continuing care homes and supportive living accommodations in Alberta. Software organises the menu and assembles the evidence; a dietitian reads the result and signs it.
Who runs it
NutraPlanner, a nutrition software company based in Calgary, Alberta. Atlas is its menu review service — the same people, a different product from the practice software NutraPlanner sells to dietitians.
What happens to your menu
It is used to produce your review and nothing else. It is never sold, never published, and never used as an example without asking you first. Atlas never asks for resident information — no field on any form invites it — and anything of that kind sent to us by mistake is deleted rather than kept.
The two people who do the work
Atlas is small on purpose. A dietitian reads every menu and signs every letter; the software exists so she spends her time on judgement rather than on transcription.
Sandra Fraser
A dietitian registered with the College of Dietitians of Alberta, working in continuing care. She has been reviewing Alberta menus against the Accommodation Standards by hand for years, and every Atlas review is read and signed by her. The judgement Atlas checks against is hers — the software assembles the evidence, it does not decide anything.
Sam Champagne
A software engineer whose career has been spent in industries where a regulator eventually asks you to prove it: defence and aerospace, where software correctness has to be demonstrated to a certifying authority rather than asserted; emissions reporting for Alberta oil and gas, where every figure filed under the Energy Regulator’s directives has to be reconstructable years after it was filed; and electric utility operations, where the controls protecting grid infrastructure have to produce audit-ready evidence on demand. Atlas is built on that habit. It names the standard behind every finding, records what it measured and on which days, and says plainly when your menu could not answer a question instead of filling the gap.
