How it works
standrdX validates engineering handoffs against the standards and requirements that govern them, and records every engineering decision with its evidence. The same five-step sequence runs on a single vendor submission or on every deliverable in a project.
standrdX works in five steps. It establishes which requirement governs each document, using the project's precedence order. It checks every document in scope against that requirement and raises findings with a verdict, severity, clause and source quote. It compares drawing revisions side by side. Finally, an engineer accepts or rejects each finding, and the decision is recorded in a findings register that exports to PDF and Excel.
Before the first run
A workspace holds the standards your organisation reuses across projects. A project holds the documents under review and the addenda that apply only to it. The result is a digital engineering process that does not change depending on who is reviewing.
Owner, industry and internally authored standards, uploaded once and reused across every project in the workspace.
Project-specific controls and deviations layered on top of the workspace library, scoped to the project they belong to.
Specifications, datasheets, drawings, BOMs and vendor submissions, uploaded directly or pulled from connected cloud storage.
The sequence
This is engineering workflow management at the level a review actually happens: document review automation across every deliverable in scope, with an engineer ruling on every finding it raises.
FIGURES SHOWN IN THE PANELS BELOW ARE ILLUSTRATIVE
standrdX reads the loaded standards, specifications, owner requirements and project addenda, and builds the requirement baseline for the project. Where requirements overlap or conflict, precedence determines which one applies, and that decision is carried into every check that follows. Precedence order is set per project, so every document is reviewed against the requirement that actually governs it.
A run checks every document in scope against the requirement that governs it. Run the full set when a project opens, then run incrementally as new revisions arrive, so review effort goes to what changed instead of content that has already been checked.
Each finding carries a verdict, a severity, the clause it was checked against and the source quote it came from. Confidence is reported separately, so a reviewer can see how certain the system is without that shaping the verdict.
When a drawing is reissued, two revisions are placed side by side with the differences overlaid and a discrepancy list describing what changed, each entry ranked by severity. Unchanged content is skipped, so reviewers do not re-read a whole drawing to find one change.
An engineer accepts or rejects each finding. The disposition, the reviewer and the reasoning are recorded, and the findings register exports to PDF and Excel for sign-off, audit and handover.
The decision, on record
standrdX writes every action to the record as it happens: findings raised, severity changes, acceptances, rejections and closures, each with the reviewer and the reasoning behind it.
Nothing needs to be reconstructed later. The trail from document to decision already exists when an audit, customer review or project handover calls for it.
FAQ
Setup time depends mainly on how many standards you load and how many documents are in scope. Nothing is configured from scratch: you load your standards, any project addenda and the documents under review. Once the workspace library exists, it is reused on every later project, so each new project starts with most of the setup already done.
No. Documents are uploaded directly or pulled from connected cloud storage. standrdX does not replace the system where your documents live.
Run incrementally. standrdX checks what changed rather than re-reading the whole document set, and drawing revisions can be compared side by side with the differences listed and ranked by severity.
Yes. Precedence is set per project, for example whether a project addendum overrides an owner standard. The order that applies on your project is the order standrdX applies.
An engineer with the right role on the project. standrdX proposes findings, but it never accepts or closes one on its own. Roles and permissions are set out on the Security & Governance page.
A findings register with the governing clause, the evidence and the reviewer's disposition on each entry, plus discrepancy lists for any compared drawings. Both export to PDF and Excel for sign-off, audit and handover.
