Customer drawings
When you make parts to customer drawings under NDA, whether they can be included depends on your contracts. Check with your own counsel. Material owned by customers can be left out entirely.
Processes you see as core
You license a de-identified copy, not the know-how itself. Hold back any process, product line or period you want to protect.
The same ground rules
It all starts under NDA. Nothing goes out until you approve a sample, and there is no cost to you.
Common questions from manufacturers
Do we give up ownership of anything?
No. The originals stay in your systems and belong to you.
Are supplier names kept?
Names of suppliers, customers and staff all become placeholders.
Must drawings be part of the scope?
No. Quality, routing and supplier records are often enough on their own, and drawings can stay out.
Where to start
Where the valuable history lives
You do not need all of them. One well kept system can be enough to begin.
Quality and corrective actions
How defects get traced to a root cause and fixed for good.
Work instructions and routings
How each job is set up, run and inspected.
Supplier quotes and RFQs
How parts get sourced and prices negotiated.
Records from production
How output, scrap and lead times shift over time.
Why it counts
Why AI labs want it
How a shop turns a quote into a shipped part, with the defects and fixes along the way, is knowledge earned the hard way. Models built to support production learn from those records, which rarely appear anywhere public.
