Technical documentation, governed to the standard your industry requires.
AlfBru is a specialized technical documentation consultancy. We help aerospace, defense, medical device, automotive, industrial, and electronics manufacturers close critical skills gaps in documentation governance, compliance, and content development, and deliver end-to-end technical publications built to the most rigorous international standards.
Documentation breaks down where skill sets do not overlap.
Engineering builds the product. The documentation that has to explain it, certify it, and support it in the field requires a different discipline entirely: structured authoring, standards compliance, technical illustration, and clear writing, often all at once. Most organizations do not have that cross-functional skill set in house, so manuals fall behind, audits get tense, and the technical content and the customer-facing content drift out of sync. AlfBru is built on exactly that overlap. We bridge engineering and documentation, and keep everything from the compliance manual to the support content speaking with one voice and one standard.
Drawings, specifications, BOMs, test data, and the knowledge that never makes it onto a spec sheet.
Audit-ready manuals, procedures, and content, structured, traceable, and ready for the field.
End-to-end technical publication, governed for the lifecycle.
Most engagements blend more than one. They share a spine: rigorous structure, full document control, and deliverables produced to the standard your work is measured against.
Documentation governance & compliance
Governance frameworks aligned to the standards and bodies your industry answers to.
- Standards selection and framework design (S1000D, DITA, MIL-STD, ISO, ATA)
- Document control, version management, approval workflows
- Audit readiness and traceability across the lifecycle
Structured authoring & migration
Move from legacy Word and PDF to structured, single-source XML.
- S1000D and DITA conversion and authoring
- Common Source Database (CSDB) implementation
- Single-source publishing to PDF/A, HTML5, EPUB, and web help
Technical documentation & illustration
The full library of deliverables, produced to spec.
- Manuals, SOPs, work instructions, maintenance and service guides
- CDRLs, DIDs, technical bulletins, installation and calibration procedures
- Technical illustration, exploded views, and schematics
Skills gap remediation & capability building
Build the internal capability to sustain it, without depending on us forever.
- Gap analysis and process assessment
- Training and certification (S1000D, DITA, XML authoring, document control)
- Mentorship and knowledge transfer for your team
We work to the standards that govern your industry.
Compliance capability mapped to each framework, from CSDB authoring through archive-ready output, aligned to the governing bodies ASD, AIA, and ATA.

Formats & archive
The full library, authored and illustrated to spec.
From a single field procedure to a complete maintenance set, delivered single-source and published to whatever format your audience needs.
Built to the standard, governed for the lifecycle.
Every engagement runs on document control and traceability from day one. We assess what exists, design the governance framework, produce to standard, and leave your team able to sustain it.
Assess
Gap analysis of current documentation, tools, and team capability.
Govern
Design the framework: standard, taxonomy, CSDB, and document control.
Produce
Author and illustrate to standard, every revision controlled and traceable.
Sustain
Version management, approval, distribution, and training so your team can carry it.
Deliverables that keep working after we leave.
A single source of truth
One governed, current, searchable home for your technical content.
Audit-ready compliance
Documentation that holds up to standards, contracts, and inspection.
Controlled and traceable
Every revision tracked, every change accountable across the lifecycle.
Legacy content migrated
Word and PDF moved to structured, single-source XML.
Internal capability built
A trained team that can author and govern without you.
Lower cost to maintain
Structure and tooling that make the next revision cheap, not painful.
Tell us what is buried, and what it is costing you.
A short note is enough. We will reply with whether this is something we can move, and how we would start. Engagements run on project and retainer terms, and most begin with a documentation gap analysis before any build.
