Public runnable proof

Runnable CAD proof kits

Public quick-start kits map CAD platforms, fixtures, runtime boundaries, validation output, and procurement-safe evidence before private files enter review. Public runnable proof kit available; private customer artifacts are not exposed.

  • GitHub proof kitOpen AutoCAD, AutoLISP, and .NET quick-start automation kit

    AutoCAD, AutoLISP, and .NET quick-start automation kit

    A trusted AutoCAD routine becomes a governed request, fixture scan, runtime decision, validation report, and drafter review path before production automation expands.

    Output
    reports/quickstart-report.json
    Boundary
    Public kit runs without licensed AutoCAD. Native DWG mutation, plotting, and command execution remain optional runtime receipts.

  • GitHub proof kitOpen Inventor automation and drawing output quick-start kit

    Inventor automation and drawing output quick-start kit

    A repeated Inventor package path becomes a runnable fixture audit, BOM/iProperty readiness check, native Inventor API adapter discussion, and pilot decision.

    Output
    reports/quickstart-report.json
    Boundary
    Public kit validates fixtures and package rules. Native IPT/IAM model edits, drawing generation, and Vault state claims require local tool receipts.

    SolidWorks and PDM readiness quick-start kit

    A product family cleanup request becomes a package-readiness score, custom-property/BOM checks, SolidWorks API sketch, PDM add-in boundary, and release decision.

    Output
    reports/quickstart-report.json

Finite offer ladder

Choose the first paid decision lane.

The public ladder turns interest into a diagnostic, blueprint, prototype, build slice, document slice, or retainer without exposing private quote math.

$4,500 fixed

Quote/RFQ Workflow Diagnostic

Map the current quote/RFQ workflow, risks, records, owners, and first automation decision.

Teams that know quoting is painful but do not yet know the safest first scope.

$7,500 fixed

RFQ System Blueprint

Produce workflow architecture, data model, status map, integration boundary, and build recommendation.

Teams ready to define the operating system before funding build work.

$15,000 fixed

Quote Automation Prototype

Build one constrained proof slice around intake, quote record, status, document, cost, or report behavior.

Teams that need a working proof before committing to a larger implementation.

$25,000-$75,000 fixed

Implementation Build Slice

Build a scoped internal quote/RFQ, CAD, document, reporting, or integration workflow.

Teams with accepted inputs, owners, validation examples, and a bounded build target.

$12,500-$35,000 fixed

Drawing/Document Automation Slice

Automate repeatable drawing packages, document control, release packets, or review outputs.

Teams with repeated packages, documents, naming rules, review states, or output checks.

$3,500 / $7,500 / $12,500 monthly

Care and Change Retainer

Support, improvements, workflow changes, reporting tweaks, and system stewardship.

Teams that need continued stewardship after a diagnostic, prototype, or build slice.
