Demo 17 · Impact Report Studio · for sales & applications teams
Make the customer’s people the heroes.
A rep drops in visit photos, e-mails, notes and setup sheets. The AI screens them, asks only the questions that change a number, proposes suggestions the rep rules on, computes the savings with models you can read, and composes a report the customer’s team will want to forward. Every number traces to a source.
Sample data · fictional shop, distributor and people Northgate Precision (fictional), a sample machine shop · co-branded with Meridian Sample Supply (fictional)
Step 1 · Material in
Nine files from one shop visit.
Everything the rep brought back: photos from the floor, the programmer’s e-mail, purchasing’s spend figures, a voice note from the parking lot, the setup sheet and the tool-change log, plus public context the AI found and cited.

Step 2 · The questions that matter
Three questions, not thirty.
The AI asks only where an answer changes a number on the report. Pick an answer; the numbers in step 4 follow.
Step 3 · Suggestions the rep rules on
Accept, reject, edit, or add a note.
Nothing reaches the report until the rep accepts it. Notes can be typed or dictated on the drive home. Watch the report (beside this on a wide screen, below on a phone) rewrite itself as you decide.

- S1 Proven in trial E1P2
Rough with an adaptive toolpath and a 3-flute high-efficiency end mill
The trial path held a constant tool engagement, so the cutter could run deeper and faster without overload.
Credits Dana R., CNC programmer
Accepted - S2 Proven in trial P1S1
Run the finisher at 18,000 rpm, holding the same chip load
Feed rises with spindle speed, so each tooth still takes the same bite. Spindle load stayed well inside the limit.
Credits Marcus T., Lead machinist
Accepted - S3 Proven in trial S2E2
Switch the finisher to the coated grade
Six weeks of tool-change records show the coated finisher lasting longer on this part.
Credits Priya S., Second-shift operator
Accepted - S4 Phase 2 · unproven N1
Combine ops 20 and 30 into one fixture
Removes a second load, a re-clamp and an inspection hand-off. Not yet trialed.
Credits Owen L., Manufacturing engineer
Accepted - S5 Action item P3
Bring coolant back to the 8% target
A 4% mix shortens tool life and invites built-up edge in aluminum. An action item, not a savings claim.

Waiting for the rep
Dictate is simulated in this demo: it types a sample phrase and records nothing. In the service, a voice note is transcribed and the rep checks the words before they reach the report.
Step 4 · The numbers, with the math showing
Three models you can read.
Proven changes make the headline. Unproven ideas become a Phase 2 scenario, clearly marked. Move any slider.
Cycle time & capacity
- Spindle hours freed / yr
- 1,158
- More parts, same hours
- +26.1%
- Value at shop rate
- $144,702
new = 3.0 + 11.0 × (1 − 0%) × (0.65 ÷ 1.68 + 0.35) = 11.1 min
Phase 2: new = fixed + scaling × (1 − 15%) × (…) = 9.9 min · 1,644 hrs / yr · scenario only
Speeds & feeds, constant chip load
| Spindle | Feed | |
|---|---|---|
| Before | 15,000 rpm | 180 in/min |
| After | 18,000 rpm | 216 in/min |
Chip load held at 0.0040 in per tooth, 3 flutes.
feed = 18,000 rpm × 3 flutes × 0.0040 in = 216 in/min · cutting time ÷ 1.20
Tool life & spend
- Saved / yr, steady state
- $9,975
- Year one, on the ramp
- $6,234
saving = $38,000 × (1 − 1 ÷ 1.60) × 70% = $9,975 / yr
An illustration on fictional numbers, not a promise of results. In the service, every input carries its source, and anything the customer has not proven stays out of the headline.
The service
