CAD automation contact

Start the paid discovery intake with the facts that matter.

Use this contact path to prepare the paid diagnostic decision: workflow, risk, business impact, decision owner, timeline, and private-review limits.

CAD consulting intake

One consulting intake, two speeds.

Use the guided path when the CAD problem is still taking shape, or the fast payload when the workflow and first decision are already clear.

Fast contact

Send a useful first message in under two minutes.

Required: reply email, workflow or system, and problem. Optional routing details stay collapsed so buyers can act first and refine later.

Review-ready
Optional routing details
Best for: blocked delivery, unstable CAD automation, RFQ workflow risk, drawing/document output, migration or UAT pressureDecision signals: buying motion, blocked workflow, evidence available, paid first decision
Open email draft

Send routing facts first. Hold detailed project material until the review path is clear.

Buyer-facing guide

What to include in your first message

Send the CAD platform or workflow, the business problem, the desired first decision, and any private-review limits. Keep sensitive project material out of first contact.

  • WorkCAD platform, workflow, document package, RFQ path, or review owner.
  • ProblemDelay, rework loop, output risk, validation gap, ownership issue, or blocked decision.
  • DecisionThe next useful yes/no: assess, pilot, build, review evidence, or stop.

+ 2 optional routing details stay lower on the form.

Decision returnReply target: fit, missing inputs, nearest service, and whether the first move is diagnostic, rescue, blueprint, build slice, retainer, or stop.
Fast CAD path

Use the prefilled email payload

If the workflow is already obvious, copy the compact payload and send it without evaluating the full offer ladder first.

Private-first consulting boundary

Do not send sensitive project files, access details, customer material, or protected notes in first contact. Name what exists and move it later through the right private review path.

Use shareable routing facts first; protected material moves only after fit and the private path are clear.
