Standard Development Organizations, Nathalie, Standards Development Manager

We’re stuck juggling Word files, email threads, and PDF drafts across multiple committees. It’s hard to keep everyone aligned – and even harder to track who signed off on what. Every new version feels like starting from scratch.

We develop standards that shape industries, but our internal processes still rely on disconnected tools. The result? Long lead times, inconsistent formats, and a lack of transparency. We’re constantly firefighting version issues and chasing stakeholders for feedback.

What we need is a system that supports modular, collaborative development—where updates cascade automatically, feedback is tracked, and content is always current. Standards should evolve efficiently, not get stuck in bottlenecks.

I need to apply the standard – not decode it. But right now, finding what I need in a 200-page PDF while I’m on site is a nightmare. I end up screenshotting sections or printing things out just to make it usable.

I rely on standards for compliance and design decisions, but the formats are outdated. Searching is clunky, there’s no interactivity, and updates often get missed. I’ve got no way to ask questions or get clarification in real-time.

I want standards that work like the tools I use every day—searchable, annotated, with visual references and personalized views. If we’re serious about implementation, we need to make standards actually usable.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got some questions?

Yes – we handle the entire conversion from PDF or XML to SMART format at a very competitive price, thanks to our proprietary conversion technology). The platform is plug-and-play via API with your existing infrastructure—no multi-year IT project required. We operate on pure revenue share, so there’s no upfront platform cost. You can start with a 3-month pilot on a small collection, gather real user feedback, then scale based on results.
Users create personal notebooks combining excerpts from multiple standards, company procedures, regulations, and their own notes – turning the platform into their knowledge hub, not just a document reader. Built-in messenger enables team collaboration, group discussions by technical committee or project, and direct broadcast channels where you push updates, surveys, and new product announcements straight to users’ inboxes. The collaborative features mean engineers actually use the platform daily, not just when they absolutely have to check a requirement. Users want a “Netflix-style” membership, because standards are often too technical and not user-friendly.
Licensed users share content freely within their organization – send searchable tables (not static screenshots), annotated clauses, and full document sections via integrated messenger without copyright concerns. Teams create shared workspaces combining standards from multiple publishers, internal procedures, and project-specific notes. When someone shares content with an unlicensed colleague, that person sees a preview and buy button – converting the sharing impulse into a revenue opportunity instead of a piracy problem. This solves the “unlocked PDF” dilemma: users get the freedom they want while you don’t leave money on the table.
The platform delivers standards on any device—desktop, tablet, or smartphone—with intelligent responsive formatting that makes complex tables, formulas, and diagrams readable everywhere. Field workers, inspectors, and contractors access standards at job sites on their phones instead of lugging print copies or squinting at PDFs that don’t reflow. Plus, real-time translation lets users instantly translate any passage into their language—no need for costly certified translations of entire documents.
Users can instantly translate any section of any standard into their language—no need to wait for official translations or limit your market to English speakers. The platform works seamlessly across geographies with mobile-first design for markets where smartphones are primary access points. IP protection through streaming (content never downloads) works even in challenging markets where PDF piracy is rampant, while still giving users the freedom to annotate, share within licensed groups, and collaborate.
You see what content is accessed, when, for how long, and from where—down to granular level. Track user login frequency, identify your most engaged customers, and spot standards that generate high interest (signals for bundle opportunities). Analytics dashboards provide quantitative data on time-on-page, geographical distribution, and device usage. The platform also tracks how standards are used together, revealing natural bundles and collections your customers actually need rather than guessing. This user data lets you price scientifically by segment instead of one-size-fits-all page-count formulas.

Get More Brain is a digital knowledge ecosystem designed to activate, manage, and share structured content across any organization – from enterprises and publishers to vocational training and professional associations. Whether ensuring high service standards in hospitality or distributing technical standards for SDOs, Get More Brain enhances accessibility and empowers teams to apply knowledge effectively in their daily work.

Get More Brain transforms static PDFs into dynamic, interactive standards delivered via streaming—like Netflix for technical content. This shift unlocks new revenue streams: you can offer modular subscription packages instead of single-document sales, expand from a few corporate licenses to hundreds of individual users (with proper tracking), and layer on value-added services like training
Move from one-time document sales to recurring subscription revenue with tiered packages (basic/standard/premium) for different user segments. Think of apprentice versions with learning modules, teacher versions with assessment tools, and premium enterprise packages with full collaboration features—all at different price points. The platform enables you to bundle standards by industry vertical, use case, or role instead of selling individual documents. You can also build training courses, conformity assessment tools, and certification prep services directly into the platform—tapping into markets 100x larger than standards sales alone.
AI powers semantic search across your entire catalog—users describe what they need in plain language and find relevant clauses across multiple standards instantly. It also enables on-demand translation, converts requirements into actionable checklists, generates quizzes for training, and can chat with users to explain technical content in business language instead of jargon.
