ILSANLAB

Independent research tools · South Korea

Evidence-based AI tools for structural engineering research.

ILSANLAB is building a clearer path from a technical question to the clause, edition, and source behind the answer.

01

The problem

Engineering research loses time between finding a reference and trusting it.

Standards and technical documents are dense, versioned, and difficult to navigate. A promising search result is only useful when the researcher can inspect its context.

ILSANLAB focuses on the chain of evidence: discover the relevant text, read it in place, and check the source, edition, page, and review status before using it.

Current product

Available as a research preview

KDS search and MCP

A read-only research interface for searching collected KDS material and retrieving clauses with provenance metadata.

A

Search the collected text

Find relevant terms and clauses across the material currently available in the preview.

B

Read with context

Keep page references and document context near the retrieved text.

C

Inspect provenance

Check edition, release and review state, and source identity before relying on a result.

Research preview boundary

The collected editions may be unreviewed and are not presented as official current standards. The service does not perform design calculations, compliance decisions, or structural engineering judgment. Researchers must verify results against authoritative sources.

Demo

Search → read → check the source

Three deliberate steps keep the reference visible throughout the research flow.

  1. Step 01

    Search for the engineering concept

    Use a term or phrase to locate relevant passages in the collected material.

  2. Step 02

    Read the clause in context

    Open the result and inspect the retrieved text together with its document and page reference.

  3. Step 03

    Check the original source page

    Follow the page link to compare the extracted clause with the underlying document, then review its edition and verification state.

Planned with Claude

Development direction / not yet available

Move from retrieved evidence to a useful explanation—without losing the trail back.

Evidence-grounded explanation

Use Claude to explain retrieved passages while keeping source references and uncertainty visible.

Research summary

Organize relevant findings into a concise working summary for a researcher to inspect and revise.

Citation check assistance

Help compare a draft claim with the retrieved source and flag where human verification is still needed.

The researcher remains responsible for interpretation, engineering decisions, and verification against authoritative documents.

About

A focused research project, built close to the work.

ILSANLAB is an independent, founder-led project based in South Korea. Peter is developing practical tools around the way structural engineering researchers and graduate students actually find, inspect, and organize technical evidence.
