Canonical part identity across suppliers and assemblies
A stable engineering identity can connect the same component across vendors without allowing price, naming noise or search similarity to redefine the part.

From an assembly BOM to a procure-to-build workflow
A useful BOM separates bought, made and unresolved lines, then carries engineering identity and evidence through supplier comparison, RFQs and approval.

Agents · Governance · Approval
Human approval as the boundary for engineering agents
Agents should accelerate research and preparation while accountable people retain authority over public claims, external commitments and spend.

Evidence · Search · Abstention
Provenance, abstention and trustworthy engineering search
Useful engineering search must show where a claim came from, when it was observed, which scope authorized it and when no supported answer exists.

What an Engineering IR provides that CAD files do not
An intermediate representation makes engineering facts deterministic, addressable and reusable across review, procurement, service and agent workflows.

Why geometry is not engineering knowledge
A solid model can describe surfaces precisely while saying almost nothing about what a part is, what it does, or how it should be sourced and assembled.
