Most PDR tools assemble documents. This one runs the numbers underneath them. Import your SRR/SDR package: PDR Generator runs Monte Carlo over every allocation, returns a probability of breach against each committed value, estimates joint cost & schedule confidence, and ranks mitigations by return per $1k. Every figure traces to its source sheet, and where your package has a gap, it says so instead of inventing a number. Runs 100% offline. ITAR/EAR friendly by architecture.

Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm Paul, founder of Embryo Space Inc.
Anyone who's shipped a spacecraft — or any complex system — knows the Preliminary Design Review grind: weeks spent pulling every requirement out of hundreds of SRR slides, chasing TBD/TBR items, reconciling conflicting definitions, and hand-building the traceability matrix, V&V matrix, budgets, and risk register, then formatting it all for a review board. It's your best engineers' time spent on assembly instead of design.
PDR Generator fixes that. Drop in your SRR/SDR package (PowerPoint, Word, PDF, Excel, even CAD) and it produces a complete, traceable 17-section PDR draft built to NASA NPR 7123.1D, IEEE 15288.2, and ECSS — every line cited back to its source slide, with the same gap checks a review board runs.
Two things I care about:
🔒 It runs 100% offline — no cloud, no accounts, no telemetry — so it's usable on ITAR/EAR-controlled programs.
✍️ It's a draft, not a replacement for judgment. You review and own the output.
Free 14-day trial, and free for students and university CubeSat teams. I'd love feedback from anyone in aerospace, defense, or systems engineering — what would make this indispensable in your workflow?

Since the whole point is traceability, it would be great if you could export the generated PDR straight into a reviewer-friendly format like a PDF with bookmarks per section, so stakeholders can jump from a requirement in the matrix to its source in the SRR/SDR package without needing the tool installed.

@derineremetdi9 Exporting is enabled. Bookmarks per section is a great idea.

Imported an SDR and the requirements matrix came out surprisingly clean with traceability intact. Loved that it stays local, that alone makes it worth a look for defense work.

Finally something that handles the messy SRR packages without me babysitting it. The citation back to source slides is the part that actually saves me time on review prep.
