Turn engineering documents into a usable first-draft DSM.
AutoDSM uses large language models and retrieval-augmented generation to identify system components and dependencies from documents, helping teams draft Design Structure Matrices faster with less manual effort.

Designed to support practical testing, validation, and future workflow development.
Built for faster DSM generation
DSM creation is often manual, interview-heavy, and slow. AutoDSM is positioned as a practical front-end workflow that helps you get to a draft matrix faster, using your document base as the starting point.
Reduce manual effort
Start from existing reports, manuals, and technical documents instead of building the matrix from scratch.
Use organisation-specific data
Ground outputs in proprietary data so results can reflect your own naming, scope, and system boundaries.
Draft components and dependencies faster
AutoDSM is designed to identify likely system elements and map likely relationships into a first-pass DSM.
Support human review, not blind automation
The output is most useful as a reviewable starting point that experts can validate, refine, and complete.
How it works
AutoDSM breaks source documents into searchable chunks, retrieves relevant passages, then uses an LLM to propose system elements and dependency entries for the matrix.
1
Load source documents
Technical documents are split and embedded so relevant passages can be retrieved later.
2
Identify elements and links
Structured prompts query the retrieved content to find major components and likely dependencies.
3
Generate a reviewable DSM
The outputs are assembled into a matrix that can be inspected, refined, and used as a practical starting point.
