a fully normalized relation is one where the SQL (say) table in question represents one and only one predicate of your business rules.

It is literally impossible for that to be done automatically. Someone needs to look at the resulting code and confirm that that was the case.

Or they need to write the business rules down, in some sort of expressive format that can be tested against the requirements... Say, an artificial language of some sort. One might call it "programming"
