DEP • KNOWLEDGE STORE • TRACEABLE ORGANIZATIONAL MEMORY
Preserve the decisions, lessons, and context behind the work.
DEP is the Knowledge Store of Stratic Systems. It captures documents, decisions, rules, extracted entities, lessons learned, corrections, and company-specific knowledge so expertise does not disappear when people move on.
DEP is not positioned as an AI replacement for workers. It is a structured, traceable memory system designed to preserve what people learn and make that knowledge available to the next engineer, designer, manager, technician, or field worker who needs it.
WHY DEP EXISTS
Most companies do not lose knowledge because they lack files.
They lose knowledge because the reasoning behind those files is scattered, undocumented, or trapped inside the experience of a few people. DEP is built to capture the context behind the work, not just the final output.
Why was this changed?
DEP helps preserve the reason behind revisions, corrections, overrides, design changes, customer requests, and field updates.
What did we learn last time?
DEP captures lessons learned so teams do not repeat the same mistakes across jobs, machines, assemblies, customers, or projects.
Who knows why we do it this way?
DEP turns individual experience into organizational memory that can outlive role changes, retirement, turnover, and project handoffs.
WHAT DEP CAPTURES
DEP turns scattered information into structured company memory.
Documents
PDFs, Word files, Excel files, notes, reports, manuals, procedures, specifications, and other records that contain organizational knowledge.
Engineering context
Part numbers, assemblies, BOM rows, drawing references, revision notes, design intent, exceptions, standards, and engineering decisions.
Operational lessons
Mistakes, corrections, field issues, repair notes, customer-specific requirements, troubleshooting steps, and recurring problems.
Rules and standards
Company rules, engineering standards, review requirements, approval logic, inspection checks, and decision patterns.
Manual overrides
Human corrections, judgment calls, exception handling, review notes, and the reason behind changing or rejecting a suggestion.
Extracted entities
People, parts, jobs, machines, customers, vendors, locations, drawing numbers, dates, events, and other key references.
TRUSTED MEMORY
DEP is designed to remember with source, reason, and evidence.
Organizational memory needs to be traceable. DEP is designed around structured records that preserve where knowledge came from, why it matters, how confident the record is, and what human decisions changed it.
SOURCE
Where did it come from?
Documents, CAD packages, events, notes, records, manual entries, and approved system inputs.
REASON
Why does it matter?
The explanation, design intent, issue, correction, risk, or business logic behind the captured knowledge.
EVIDENCE
What supports it?
References, linked records, extracted text, related files, prior events, and supporting context.
HUMAN REVIEW
Who approved or corrected it?
Reviews, overrides, assignments, approvals, rejections, comments, and lessons learned.
HOW DEP WORKS
From scattered records to usable organizational memory.
STEP 01
Ingest
DEP receives documents, CAD-connected packages, manual entries, events, or other approved records.
STEP 02
Extract
DEP identifies useful text, entities, references, relationships, rules, lessons, and decision points.
STEP 03
Review
People can confirm, correct, reject, assign, or explain captured knowledge before it becomes trusted memory.
STEP 04
Reuse
Captured knowledge becomes available for search, review, reports, summaries, rules, and future workflows.
PRODUCT RELATIONSHIPS
DEP is the memory core of the Stratic ecosystem.
CADSync and GeometryLab feed engineering intelligence into DEP. CADSync captures structure and relationships. GeometryLab helps recognize geometry and manufacturing context. DEP preserves the validated knowledge so it can be searched, reviewed, and reused.
CADSync → DEP
Engineering data from CAD systems becomes structured input for organizational memory.
GeometryLab → DEP
Part recognition, manufacturing resemblance, and geometry signals become searchable engineering context.
DEP → Teams
Preserved knowledge becomes available for search, review, rules, lessons learned, and future decision support.
HUMAN-CENTERED KNOWLEDGE
DEP is built around people, evidence, and review.
DEP is not a black box. It is designed to help teams preserve records, context, corrections, rules, and lessons in a way that people can review and trust.
Future assistive features may help summarize, search, classify, compare, or recommend, but the foundation of DEP is structured memory, traceability, and human validation.
Preserve
Keep prior knowledge, related records, historical context, and known risks accessible.
Explain
Preserve why something matters, where it came from, and how it should be used.
Improve
Help teams learn from previous work, reduce repeated mistakes, and strengthen future decisions.
DEP helps organizations remember what they learn.
Preserve the decisions, lessons, context, and evidence behind the work so people can make better decisions with the knowledge their organization already has.
