The problem
The bottleneck every engineering company knows
Key decisions queue behind the same few senior experts:
- Can we quote this job?
- Will this design survive the customer's environment?
- Which test plan applies here?
- What did we learn the last time this failed?
Customers wait, quotes slip, juniors interrupt seniors — and the judgment behind those answers sits in a handful of heads, much of it approaching retirement. Generic AI tools don't fix this: they index what's written down, and in engineering, a plausible-but-wrong answer is worse than none.
In engineering, a plausible-but-wrong answer is worse than none.
How it works
The Engineering Decision Accelerator
A 10-week pilot that puts one working decision workflow in your team's hands:
- 01Pick the decision that costs you the most waiting time — application-engineering responses, quote feasibility, test-plan selection — and map the expert knowledge behind it.
- 02Capture the expertise. Structured extraction from your senior engineers — design rules with the “why” attached, failure histories, application lore — combined with your product data and customer requirements.
- 03Build the agentic workflow that walks the decision the way your best engineer does — reasoning and sources shown — running on the AI tools you already use. Nothing proprietary locks you in.
- 04Validate before anyone relies on it. 100+ golden Q&A pairs verified by your own experts and a measured accuracy score. Your engineers see evidence, not promises.
Built-in byproduct: your retiring experts' judgment, captured and validated before it walks out the door.

Why North Arc
Someone who can judge whether the engineering answer is right — and ship the AI that gives it.
Most AI consultants can't judge whether an engineering answer is right. Most engineers have never shipped an AI system. North Arc's founder has done both: a PhD in computational mechanics with 10+ years in electronics reliability, FEA, and shock & vibration qualification — and architect of an award-winning agentic AI decision platform at a Fortune 100 enterprise hardware company, scaled to 140+ subject-matter experts and 260+ engineers with expert-validated Q&A as the trust mechanism.
- PhD, Computational Mechanics
- IEEE Senior Member
- 10+ yrs electronics reliability & FEA
- Enterprise agentic AI, deployed at scale
- Multiple patents filed
- Minnesota-based
