Product Intelligence Engine

Total Cost of Ownership.
Decided at Design.

Forge Engine reads your CAD and BOM, then prices every part across its entire life — before you cut metal.

The Status Quo Gap

Same request, wildly different outcomes. 80% of a product's lifetime cost and environmental impact is locked in at the design stage — most teams are designing blind.

Expertise Gap

The one senior engineer who knows should-cost is out. Guesswork fills in.

Data Desert → resolved

Instant Cost

BOM and 3D auto-parsed into one unified cost, carbon, and risk model.

Expertise Gap → resolved

Guided Moves

Manufacturing and criticality constraints surfaced automatically.

Square One → resolved

First-Time Right

Cost, sustainability, and criticality risk validated before the first prototype.

Solution

Same engineer, same CAD — two very different outcomes.

Our vision

We believe in a world where designing a better, sustainable, reliable machine is the easier choice.

Where what it costs to build, to run and to retire is visible the moment it's decided — not years after it ships.

Our mission

We influence product designs through digital reasoning over requirements, background data, methodologies, tribal knowledge and field data — for the engineer, or the agent, making the decision.

How we work
  1. Intense customer collaboration.
  2. We respect our customers' data governance.
  3. A design tool, not a reporting tool. We change the design while it is still cheap to change.
  4. Paid for outcomes.
  5. Scale through great results, not lock-in.
