Frontend-only workbench

LMD Decision Workbench

Turn a vague LMD/DED request into LMD Decision Brief v1.0: known facts, missing information, risk flags, evidence needed, and a next action.

Every standard brief can travel as a technical brief, an Exafuse-ready email draft, an AI summary, Markdown, JSON, grouped checklists, and print/PDF.

Outputs are preliminary decision-support only. Final feasibility depends on material, geometry, service conditions, inspection requirements, and expert review.

This browser tool does not send, store, or analyze your inputs outside this page.

Workbench status

Browser-local decision support.

The page behaves like a local engineering console: select inputs on the left, review the standard brief on the right, route serious cases to expert review.

LMD Decision CockpitLMD Decision Brief v1.0Conservative output

Start with a rough LMD question. Leave with a brief.

Pick the situation, mark what is known, then expose missing information, risk flags, evidence needed, and an Exafuse review route. Inputs stay in this browser session only.

Example scenario: worn steel shaft near bearing seat.

Review the worked output, start your own brief here, or open the full workbench.

Repair damaged/worn part: start with LMD Repairability Quick Check. Not enough information. Missing information and risk flags remain visible in the brief.

Tool 1

Process route module

LMD vs SLM Advisor: Compare early process-selection signals for Laser Metal Deposition and SLM/LPBF.

Interactive module Open LMD vs SLM Advisor Open controls

Sample output

A preliminary process direction, why, missing RFQ fields, risk flags, evidence needed, readiness, and next action.

Sample outputs are keyword/rule-based and intentionally conservative. Missing information and risk flags stay visible because they often change the decision.

Your live output

Change the inputs below. The output updates immediately so you can compare route signals, missing information, and risk flags.

Input pane

Route-selection signals

Answer only what is known. This rule-based screen does not assume a part size, repair case, or local-deposition need.

Tool 2

Repairability module

LMD Repairability Quick Check: Screen whether an industrial part has enough preliminary signals to be reviewed as an LMD repair candidate.

Interactive module Open LMD Repairability Quick Check Open controls

Sample output

A repairability signal, known support, missing information, risk flags, evidence needed, readiness, and next action.

Sample outputs are keyword/rule-based and intentionally conservative. Missing information and risk flags stay visible because they often change the decision.

Your live output

Input pane

Repairability rule groups

Technical suitability, qualification burden, and commercial context are kept separate so business pressure cannot raise a technical screening result.

Technical suitability

Mark only facts that are known for the candidate.

Qualification burden

These flags increase the evidence and review burden; they do not decide feasibility.

Commercial context

These inputs can affect urgency or the business case, never technical suitability.

Tool 3

RFQ structure module

RFQ Prompt-to-Structure Converter: Turn free text into known facts, missing fields, risk flags, and a copyable RFQ summary.

Interactive module Open RFQ Prompt-to-Structure Converter Open controls

Sample output

A structured RFQ preview with part/material/damage hints, missing fields, risk flags, evidence needed, readiness, and copy buttons.

Sample outputs are keyword/rule-based and intentionally conservative. Missing information and risk flags stay visible because they often change the decision.

Your live output

Change the inputs below. The output updates immediately so you can compare route signals, missing information, and risk flags.

What changes the decision

Missing material gradeMissing drawing/CADMissing damage depthMissing operating conditionsMissing toleranceMissing deadline

Input pane

Free-text RFQ intake

Paste a rough request. The parser extracts visible hints and keeps missing RFQ fields explicit.

Brief quality rubric

What makes a brief useful?

This rubric checks brief quality, not technical feasibility.

  • Exact material grade visible
  • Geometry/drawing available
  • Damage/build area described
  • Service conditions stated
  • Tolerance/finishing need stated
  • Inspection requirement stated
  • Risk flags not hidden
  • Next action clear

Operating loop

Inputs -> gaps -> risks -> next action

The workbench keeps the loop short: structure the question, expose uncertainty, then route serious cases to expert review.

Illustrative workflow. Read left to right; Verify is the evidence boundary.

  1. 01

    Sense

    Collect signals, process data, context, operator observations, and missing-information cues.

  2. 02

    Model

    Combine machine learning, engineering rules, uncertainty, constraints, and traceable assumptions.

  3. 03

    Decide

    Structure recommendations, trade-offs, risk priorities, next actions, and human-review boundaries.

  4. 04

    Verify

    Connect decisions to inspection, measured outcomes, feedback loops, and physical evidence.

From personal decision support

Manish Sharma Lab structures the question.

The workbench helps separate known facts, missing information, risk flags, and a bounded next action. It is public, frontend-only, and intentionally conservative.

To Exafuse review

Exafuse performs commercial and technical review.

Final feasibility depends on material, geometry, service conditions, inspection requirements, and expert review. Use Exafuse for RFQs, services, company claims, and technical/commercial decisions.
