  • Patent number: 12488131
    Abstract: Methods and systems for a document review process are provided. The method includes receiving an input digital model representation comprising at least one externally-accessible model endpoint for generating a digital artifact. Then, generating a document splice comprising access to multiple document subunits, with at least one document subunit written in a natural language and comprising the digital artifact; the access to each document subunit is provided through an externally-accessible document endpoint for the subunit. Then, generating a document by combining the document subunits, and generating a view associated with the document, based on an user authorization result including selective access rights to the document subunits. The view comprises access to the digital model representation, the digital artifact, each document subunit, and the document. Finally, receiving a user input and updating, via one of the externally-accessible document endpoints, the document splice based on the user input.
