- Machine builders selling equipment in the EU

- Engineers name parts and hazards themselves; changed models are meant to invalidate affected checks rather than leave stale results in a report.
Field notes
The proposed sequence separates work done by the engineer from work assigned to the software: the engineer names parts and hazards, while the tool measures geometry and applies cited rules. Findings are meant to stay attached to a specific model revision, and an uploaded change would mark affected checks out of date. The homepage says the knowledge base is built, but the app itself is still in design.
