Technical Standards & Specification Mapper

Turn Tool 2's headline standards regime into the specific documents, parts and clauses that govern the tender.

1 Import Upstream Context

Paste in Tool 1's Agency & Project Profile and/or Tool 2's Pre-Tender Scope & Parameter Set below and click Parse, or enter the fields manually if you don't have them to hand.

2 Quick Match — WA Specification Library

If the jurisdiction above is WA, this pulls Main Roads WA's own specification series against the categories below — no research needed for what's already verified. Every other jurisdiction doesn't have this depth of primary-source research yet, so it stays on the Copy Prompt flow in Step 5.

3 Specification Category Scan

Mark which categories are actually relevant to this project's scope. Nothing is pre-selected — a category left unchecked is treated as out of scope, not overlooked.

Austroads Guide to Pavement Technology parts; jurisdiction R-series/QA construction specs; AS/NZS aggregate, binder and asphalt standards
Austroads Guide to Road Design parts; jurisdiction-specific supplements governing design speed, alignment and cross-section
Austroads drainage parts; jurisdiction drainage/hydraulics manuals; local waterway or flood-plain authority requirements
State environmental protection and heritage legislation; REF/EIS trigger thresholds; site-specific sensitivities
AS 1289 geotechnical testing series; jurisdiction Q-series quality management specs; hold-point/ITP conventions

4 Known Standards Entry

For each category marked relevant in Step 3, enter any specific document numbers or clauses already known. Leave blank if unknown — it will be flagged, not guessed. Categories left unchecked in Step 3 are shown here for reference but aren't required. A verified Quick Match hit from Step 2 pre-fills the matching field below, but never locks it — overwrite or clear it if this project needs to differ from the standard set.

1. Pavement & Materials Standards

2. Geometric & Road Design Standards

3. Drainage & Stormwater Standards

4. Environmental & Heritage Standards

5. Testing & Quality Assurance Standards

6. Conflicts & Precedence Log

5 Copy Prompt → External AI → Paste Back

For anything not already known, generate a research prompt covering only the categories marked relevant in Step 3, run it through Gemini, and paste the result back in.

6 Technical Standards & Specification Map

Assembles everything above into the standards map Tools 4 and 5 read from. Unresolved fields are flagged, never guessed; categories marked out of scope are shown as not applicable, not flagged.
