next_step: "Draft an advisory-style outreach note focused on KBE rule capture, tacit knowledge, and explainable DFM logic"
next_step_due: 2026-05-22
blocker: "Need the first manufacturing-family wedge before asking for deeper implementation feedback"

What This Opportunity Is¶

A high-value advisory lane with Sandro Wartzack to sharpen the KBE, knowledge-capture, and explainable DFM framing before heavier implementation or grant activity.

Why This Is High-Value¶

strongest public fit for KBE, engineering drawings, tolerancing, and decision reuse
helps prevent the DFM work package from becoming too generic
likely useful for thesis framing, paper framing, or later grant logic

Current Ask¶

short advisory conversation on how to structure tacit engineering knowledge into software
reaction to a feature schema and DFM framing

Success Criteria¶

sharper definition of what part of DFM should be deterministic versus learned
better language for a thesis or researchable subproblem
signal on whether FAU is a realistic deeper collaboration lane

Linked Records¶

Open Questions¶

Should this remain advisory-only, or later become a thesis/grant lane?
Which manufacturing family should be used in the first advisory framing?
