Towards a LLM-Based System for Generating and Validating Product Requirements

This position paper motivates the development of a large language model (LLM) -based system for creating comprehensive, testable product requirements documents (PRDs). The intention is to guide innovators who lack formal product management experience— clinicians, researchers, academics, and other specialists—in producing specifications detailed enough for successful contracting with engineering or manufacturing partners. The LLM would be augmented with a retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) component and set up in a conversational manner, mitigating issues that arise when under-specified requirements are handed to contract firms.
