Automated extraction and archiving of project documentation

Purpose

 1.1. Centralize extraction and archiving of project documents for aeronautical engineering projects across multiple data sources.
 1.2. Ensure regulatory, safety, and project delivery requirements are met by maintaining documented traceability.
 1.3. Minimize manual effort for project managers and engineering teams in gathering, classifying, and storing critical documentation such as design specifications, test reports, compliance certifications, and project plans.
 1.4. Facilitate secure, instant access and auditability for stakeholders, clients, and regulatory bodies.
 1.5. Enable integration into team collaboration and knowledge management systems.

Trigger Conditions

 2.1. New project document is uploaded to collaboration tools (e.g., SharePoint, Google Drive, OneDrive).
 2.2. Project milestone is reached in project management software (e.g., Jira, Asana).
 2.3. New file attached to or sent via email to designated project mailbox.
 2.4. Document update detected in source control or PLM system.
 2.5. Scheduled time-based triggers for recurring document pulls.
