Daanaa Resolution PDP Documentation Automation Engagement

Atomic47 x Daanaa Resolution Inc.

This engagement explores how structured documentation automation can transform Daanaa Resolution's Product Development Process (PDP). Daanaa is a fabless power electronics and semiconductor company based in Vancouver, BC, with 100+ engineers building bi-directional DC/AC omni-converters with a 125x+ hyper-conversion ratio.

The Problem

Engineering documentation is a productivity tax. At Daanaa, like most hardware engineering organizations, documentation is treated as a necessary evil — something that drags on productivity rather than accelerating it. Yet documentation is also the backbone of ISO compliance, gate reviews, and knowledge transfer.

The cost compounds with scale. At 100+ engineers across multiple concurrent projects (Mercedes, BorgWarner, CTC, Heliene, Midwest, GAF), every hour spent on manual documentation, status consolidation, and gate-review assembly is an hour not spent on engineering.

The Hypothesis

Capturing engineering reasoning and decisions passively — projecting them into existing artifacts like gate-review packs, timesheets, and status reports — can reclaim meaningful time per engineer per day, automate timesheet generation, and give team leads a live cockpit they don't have to manually assemble.

A secondary hypothesis: ISO audit surface reduces because traceability becomes automatic and IP classification metadata travels on every record.

The Approach

The engagement follows a five-phase spine with decision gates at each transition:

1. Discovery & Diagnosis (Weeks 0-2) — Understand the organization, constraints, and opportunity
2. Pilot Design (Weeks 2-4) — Define a focused pilot with measurable success criteria
3. Pilot Execution (Weeks 4-12) — Build and deploy the substrate on a real project
4. Measure & Validate (Weeks 12-18) — Prove value against KPI targets
5. Decide & Scale (Weeks 18+) — Expand to additional teams and programs

Each phase produces an intelligence layer that informs the next decision gate.

Key Parties

• Atomic47 (Lead) — Karen Olsson, Engagement Lead
• Daanaa Resolution Inc. (Counterpart) — Udi Daon, CEO

Current Status

The engagement is in Phase 1: Discovery & Diagnosis, pre-discovery substatus. The first action is sending the pre-meeting questionnaire to Udi and scheduling the initial meeting.
