Requirement coverage
Verify whether design, procedure or test evidence explicitly covers the requirements in an approved reference corpus.
SAE industrial intelligence
SIRIUS
SAE Industrial Retrieval & Intelligence Unified System
Document intelligence for controlled, traceable engineering review—built to help specialists work through complex repositories without turning engineering judgement over to automation.
Why SIRIUS
More documents should not mean less engineering insight.
Regulated projects generate thousands of requirements, procedures, references and revisions. Manual review remains essential, but searching and repeating it at scale consumes scarce expert time.
SIRIUS prepares the repository, retrieves relevant evidence and structures the comparison. Engineers can then concentrate on exceptions, technical meaning and accountable decisions.
AI supports the engineer; it does not replace engineering judgement.
Where to use SIRIUS
Use it where evidence must survive scrutiny.
SIRIUS is most useful when a technical question must be answered across many controlled documents and the answer must remain traceable to source evidence.
Cross-document consistency
Find contradictions, revision mismatches and inconsistent technical statements across controlled document sets.
Parameters and limits
Compare setpoints, thresholds, operating limits and measured values with their authoritative source.
Interface tracing
Follow equipment identifiers, KKS codes, signals and references across engineering disciplines and suppliers.
Commissioning readiness
Identify missing acceptance criteria, verification methods or evidence before a controlled project milestone.
Repository orientation
Give engineering teams a structured view of an unfamiliar technical corpus before detailed review begins.
How it works
A transparent four-stage workflow
- 01PrepareMap the repository, identify its vocabulary and add controlled domain context.
- 02RetrieveFind relevant requirements and evidence through three complementary search methods.
- 03VerifyExtract, compare and test coverage against a confirmed analysis plan.
- 04ReviewDeliver traceable findings for specialist evaluation, correction and action.
Main capabilities
Each capability protects the review process.
Document familiarisation
A structural index, repository profile and domain context are prepared before analysis starts.
Hybrid retrieval
Keyword precision, semantic similarity and knowledge-graph relationships reinforce one another.
Repeatable verification
Extraction, cross-reference lookup and reasoning run as separated, reviewable stages.
Traceable findings
Document, page and extracted evidence remain connected to every reported finding.
Controlled batch execution
Dry runs, progress tracking, partial results and runtime controls support long analyses.
Human governance
Qualified specialists confirm scope, challenge results and remain accountable for decisions.
What makes it different
SIRIUS does not begin with a generic chatbot prompt. It first learns the controlled structure and vocabulary of the repository, then combines deterministic task stages with AI reasoning while keeping the evidence chain visible.
Cooperative operating model
One system. Several expert perspectives.
Domain engineers
Define the technical question and evaluate meaning.
Document & quality specialists
Protect configuration, evidence and review discipline.
AI & retrieval specialists
Maintain analysis methods, models and indexes.
Clients & independent reviewers
Confirm scope, challenge findings and own decisions.
How to start using SIRIUS
Begin with one controlled corpus and one valuable question.
SIRIUS is introduced through an SAE-led pilot, not as an open autonomous chatbot. The pilot establishes the corpus, analysis rules, evidence expectations and review roles.
- 01Define the question
Choose one bounded verification or document-analysis objective.
- 02Prepare the corpus
Identify controlled source documents, implementation evidence and confidentiality boundaries.
- 03Confirm the analysis
Run a readiness check and agree the extraction, comparison and acceptance logic.
- 04Review the pilot
Evaluate traceable findings with domain specialists before deciding whether to extend the scope.
