Module · Library
Coming soonGive the team controlled access to construction specifications and reference corpora, with region, edition, availability, and citations kept visible.
The problem
Specifications and regulations end up scattered across portals, personal folders, and outdated PDFs, so the team spends time hunting instead of building.
What it costs today
Finding the right clause is slow. Knowing whether the source is licensed, current, and applicable is harder still.
Specifications, standards, and regulations sit across shared drives, portals, and personal folders, in whatever edition someone happened to save.
Nobody can tell at a glance whether a source is licensed, current, or the right edition for the region without checking manually.
What changes with Library
Library will bring governed external references into one place, so the team can work from the right source and know its edition and availability.
Library will list each corpus with its publisher, region, coverage, edition, and availability state, so nothing gets confused with project files.
Every citation drawn from Library will point back to the exact section and the edition it came from.
Which one
Two different sources of truth, governed differently.
External construction authorities - specifications, standards, regulations, and licensed reference corpora - with edition and license kept visible.
Your organization's own accumulated knowledge - project material promoted with its original provenance, plus the decisions, lessons, and precedents your team has ratified.
Source
Published externally by standards bodies, regulators, and commercial publishers.
Built up internally from your own finished projects.
What it holds
Specifications, standards, regulations, and licensed reference corpora.
Promoted project material with its provenance, plus lessons, decisions, and precedents your team has ratified.
Governance
Tracked by publisher, region, edition, and license state.
Tracked by project, author, and your team's own review.
How it works
Once a corpus is available, using it will follow the same controlled path every time.
See each corpus by name, region, coverage, edition, and availability state before opening it.
Free, licensed, and unavailable corpora will stay clearly labeled, so nobody has to guess at entitlement.
Move through the corpus structure to the chapter or section that matters for the task.
Where enabled, open Assistant with that corpus set as the only source in scope.
Follow the answer back to the exact section and the recorded edition it was drawn from.
Expired access and replaced editions will stay visible instead of disappearing quietly.
In practice
Governed external authorities, not project files and not your own organization's history.
SPECIFICATIONS
Construction specifications that define how a design or method is judged compliant, kept with their edition on record.
REGULATORY
Region-specific regulations and safety guidance, scoped to where the project actually sits.
COMMERCIAL
Publisher-supplied reference material, shown only where the organization's license entitles it to that corpus.
Product in action
Select a corpus, ask a scoped question, and open the cited section, with edition and license kept visible throughout.
Library walkthrough (planned)
Library is not built yet, so there is no screen to show. The walkthrough will cover selecting a corpus, asking a question scoped to it alone, and opening the cited section with its edition and license visible.
Capabilities
FIG. 01
Corpus catalogue (planned)
Each corpus will list its publisher, region, coverage, edition, and availability state before you open it.
See specifications, standards, and licensed reference corpora sorted by region, availability, and edition.
FIG. 02
Scoped citation (planned)
Assistant will answer from one corpus only, with the response linked back to its exact section and edition.
Scope Assistant to a single corpus and follow every answer back to the section and edition it came from.
Capabilities
Library is designed around one rule: every clause the team relies on should be traceable to its publisher, edition, and license.
Every corpus will be listed with its publisher, region, coverage, and availability state, so the team can see what applies before opening it.
Free, licensed, and unavailable corpora will stay clearly differentiated, and a lapsed license or a replaced edition will stay visible rather than silently disappearing.
Where Assistant answers from Library, the response will be scoped to one corpus and cite the exact section and edition behind it.
Using it well
Library will be a controlled source of external authority, not a general-purpose upload folder.
