Industry solution
Check your datasheets against the standards a tender specification calls up
In short: OdysseyGPT reads a customer's specification package, including the standards it calls up, such as API 6D, ISO 15848-1 or EN 10204. It checks each requirement against your own datasheets and test procedures. Then it drafts a cited compliance matrix and deviations & clarifications list for your engineers to review.
Who this is for
- Bid engineers, proposal engineers and project managers who answer RFQs and tenders
- Application engineers at valve, pump, actuator and instrument manufacturers
- Teams at makers of rotating and pressure equipment who check datasheets against API, ISO, EN and IEC standards
Commercial next step
OdysseyGPT Managed is from $999/month. Bring a specification package and your datasheets and we will show the cited compliance matrix and deviations & clarifications list it drafts.

What makes standards review slow? A tender specification rarely stands alone. It calls up product standards such as API 6D, API 600, API 608 or API 610. It also calls up test standards such as API 598 and ISO 15848-1, certificate rules such as EN 10204, and often an owner standard on top. Bid engineers, proposal engineers and project managers must check every one of those requirements against their own datasheets and test procedures. They do it under the tender deadline. A requirement missed in a called-up standard is still a deviation.
Key Takeaways
- Every requirement from the specification and its called-up standards listed as its own row
- A status and a source quote with page for each row, ready for engineer review
- An editable compliance matrix and deviations & clarifications list to finish and send
Primary workflows
Valve datasheet vs API and ISO standards
Document set
Project specification, owner standard, valve datasheets, and the standards they call up, such as API 6D, API 598, API 608 or ISO 15848-1
Task
Check design, test, fugitive-emission and certificate requirements against your valve datasheet and test procedures.
Evidence standard
Each row quotes the requirement and the page it came from, so the engineer can confirm the status.
Operational outcome
A draft compliance matrix and deviation list for the valve package.
Pump datasheet vs API 610 and seal requirements
Document set
Pump specification, datasheets, and the standards they call up, such as API 610 and API 682
Task
Check the pump and seal requirements the specification calls up against your datasheet and standard specification.
Evidence standard
Every requirement row cites its source document and page, sheet or cell.
Operational outcome
Open items flagged as deviations, clarifications or not addressed for your engineers to decide.
Material certificates and inspection
Document set
Material requisition, inspection and test plan, and certificate requirements such as EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2
Task
Find every certificate, inspection and test requirement and check it against what you normally supply.
Evidence standard
Rows quote the clause that asks for each certificate type or witness point.
Operational outcome
Certificate and inspection gaps raised before the bid, not after award.
How OdysseyGPT helps
Which requirements apply?
- Reads the project and technical specifications, the material requisition, the inspection and test plan, datasheets and the standards they call up.
- Reads PDF, Word (.docx), Excel (.xlsx, .xls) and CSV files.
- Lists each customer requirement as its own row, with a quote from the source document and its page, sheet or cell.
Does your datasheet meet each one?
- Checks each requirement against your own datasheets, standard specifications and test procedures.
- Gives every requirement a status: complies, deviates, clarification, not addressed, document requested, not applicable or out of scope.
- Checks each quote against its source document so reviewers can open the exact passage.
What goes back to the customer?
- Exports an editable compliance matrix and a deviations & clarifications (technical deviation) list.
- Keeps internal to-dos on a separate sheet.
- Sends nothing to the customer: your engineers decide open items and own what goes out.
Why teams choose OdysseyGPT
- One row per requirement, including those in called-up standards
- A source quote with page, sheet or cell on every row
- Editable compliance matrix and deviations & clarifications list as the output
Why citations and audit trails matter
Why does every row need a quote? A standards requirement is only useful if the reviewer can open the clause it came from. With a cited row, a bid engineer can confirm the status in seconds. The customer's evaluator can also see exactly which clause a deviation or clarification refers to.
What the reviewer needs to see
- Each requirement row quotes its source document with the page, sheet or cell
- Every row carries one status, so reviewers can sort and finish open items
- The engineer, not the software, decides each open item and signs off what goes to the customer
Questions buyers ask
Which standards can OdysseyGPT check a datasheet against?
It checks against the documents in the package you load, including the standards the specification calls up, such as API 6D, API 598, API 600, API 608, API 610, ISO 15848-1 or EN 10204. It reads PDF, Word, Excel and CSV files.
Who uses it?
Bid engineers, proposal engineers, application engineers and the project managers who answer RFQs at valve, pump, actuator and instrument manufacturers.
Does it interpret drawings?
No. It does not interpret engineering drawings such as general arrangements or P&IDs.
Does it send the deviation list to the customer?
No. It drafts an editable compliance matrix and deviations & clarifications list. Your engineers decide open items and own what goes out.
How much does it cost?
