It looks like MAXit Checker (via same URL) would be the comparable product for unstructured FM...? Correct?

Has anyone used MAXit?

You need to look into Controlled English. I doubt you'll get your entire
wish list (without spending a fortune on customization and consulting),
but you can get 90% of what you need. Check out Smart Communications
(http://www.smartny.com/) -- they seem to be the leader in the field. I
can't directly vouch for them, or anyone else -- we've only done some
preliminary investigation. 

HTH!
