Two ways to work. One consistent outcome.
StructureGram isn't just a diagramming tool — it's structure-aware modelling software that ensures every diagram is consistent, accurate, and compliant.
Create diagrams your way
StructureGram lets you work in the way that feels natural — without sacrificing structure, consistency, or correctness.
- Visual-first: draw entities and relationships on a canvas
- Data-first: define entities and relationships directly
Either way, StructureGram turns your input into a structured, validated model that produces consistent diagrams every time.
Drawing is just an interface. Structure is the system.
In most tools, drawing is the system. In StructureGram, drawing is just one way to define the underlying structure. When you draw in StructureGram:
- Entities are formally created, not just shapes
- Relationships are defined explicitly, not just lines
- The diagram becomes a structured model, not a static picture
That is why your diagrams stay clean, consistent, and easy to update.
Built-in rules prevent mistakes
StructureGram includes domain-specific rules that prevent nonsensical or invalid relationships, automatically.
Entity and asset structure
Entity ownership
- An entity cannot own an interest in itself — directly or indirectly
- Share classes with capital, dividend and voting rights
- Third-party shareholders tracked alongside managed entities
- Intra-group and inter-group entity relationships mapped end-to-end
Assets
- Comprehensive asset types — property, financial assets, vehicles, equipment and more
- Ownership methods: sole, joint tenants and tenants-in-common
- Asset values with associated liabilities
- Security interests and encumbrances over assets
- Lease tracking linked to underlying assets
Trust rules
- Valid trustee entity types enforced
- Beneficiary, appointor and trustee roles tracked
- Third-party unit holders recorded alongside managed entities
- Fixed unit trusts and hybrid trust structures supported
Compliance and relationships
SMSF compliance
- Maximum of 6 members enforced
- Members must be individuals
- No fewer than two individual trustees required
- Cannot mix corporate and individual trustees
Family relationships
- Reciprocal spouse relationships maintained automatically
- Married, de facto and separated statuses tracked
- Parent–child hierarchy maintained consistently
- Biological, adopted, foster and step children supported
Partnership rules
- Partner percentages cannot exceed 100 %
- Valid partnership entity types enforced
Data and financial integrity
Data integrity
- Duplicate detection prevents redundant records
- Only valid relationships offered as options
- Cascade deletion removes redundant relationships automatically
- Start and end dates tracked per entity and relationship for group snapshots
Financial relationships
- Inter-entity loans with terms and conditions
- Security tracking — mortgages and PPSR security interests
- Guarantor relationships between entities
- Lease tracking with linked asset identification
Distributions
- Mandatory distribution dates enforced
- Valid distributor–recipient relationship required
- Multiple distributions within a financial year tracked
Two approaches to diagramming
Traditional diagram tools let you draw anything, including things that don't make sense. StructureGram makes sure everything you draw does.
Traditional tools
- Free-form drawing
- Rules enforced by hand
- Depends on the visual skill of whoever draws
- Easy to get wrong
- Static pictures
- Generic shapes and lines
- No validation
- Consistency depends on the user
StructureGram
- Structured modelling
- Rules built in
- Clarity driven by the system
- Hard to get wrong
- Living structures
- Entities that understand their domain
- Automatic validation
- Consistency built in
Consistency, regardless of experience
Because the rules are built in and the layout is automatic, everyone produces consistent diagrams, whatever their experience or visual skill.
Junior staff, senior standards
New team members create diagrams that match firm standards from day one.
Firm-wide conventions
Professional standards enforced automatically across all users.
Immediate recognition
Diagrams are immediately recognisable and readable by anyone in the firm.
Risk reduction
Built-in compliance guardrails reduce the risk of invalid structures.
Audit-ready output
Every diagram meets professional and regulatory standards.
Time savings
No need to manually check or fix invalid relationships.
Not just a drawing tool
StructureGram isn’t a generic diagramming tool. It is structure-aware modelling software for real-world relationships.
- Not a generic drawing tool (Visio, Lucidchart, Miro)
- Not a generic org chart tool (Lucidchart, OrgChart)
- Not a generic modelling tool (Dia, draw.io)
It is purpose-built for Australian entity types: a structured data system with diagram visualisation.
