Quote Basis
Build a reviewed quote basis from drawing/RFQ data, materials, rates, routing assumptions, outside services, and internal cost trace.
RustNet-Shop Official Demo Direction
From quote basis to release-ready job packet.
RustNet-Shop connects the shop data behind quoting, customer POs, jobs, travelers, materials, vendors, purchase orders, documents, and evidence — with Sparks Engine helping surface what needs review.
Sparks suggests. Humans confirm. RustNet records the evidence.
Guided Demo Flow
A quote-to-job story shops can understand.
The guided demo walks through a fictional shop job from drawing/RFQ to a release-ready job packet. Sparks identifies requirements, materials, outside services, purchase order needs, evidence gaps, and release blockers.

What RustNet-Shop Helps Control
The messy front end of manufacturing work.
Customer PO to Job Packet
Compare the received PO against the quote, drawing, revision, quantity, and customer requirements before creating the job packet.
Traveler Readiness
Prepare routing, work centers, materials, outside service steps, evidence slots, and human release review.
Documents / Evidence
Track MTRs, outside process certs, inspection, CoC, signed traveler, packing evidence, and closeout records.
Connected Shop Data
Keep customers, parts, materials, vendors, POs, jobs, travelers, rates, facility capability, and evidence tied together.
Sparks Engine
The shop-aware intelligence layer inside RustNet.
Sparks Engine reads across connected shop records — customers, quotes, orders, jobs, travelers, materials, vendors, purchase orders, documents, evidence, rates, and facility capability — to identify what is missing, what conflicts, what needs review, and what controlled next step should be prepared.
Can doSearch, summarize, explain, recommend, and prepare review-ready next steps.
Cannot silently doRelease jobs, approve certs, send POs, close jobs, approve pricing, or change approved rates.

Controlled AI Workflow
AI assistance without uncontrolled release authority.
RustNet is designed for controlled manufacturing workflow. Sparks can search, explain, recommend, and prepare. Human review remains required for release, pricing, vendor release, quality acceptance, and closeout decisions.
- Human review gates remain visible.
- Evidence requirements remain traceable.
- Purchase orders are prepared for review, not silently sent.
- Cert acceptance requires authorized review.
- RustNet records the evidence behind decisions.
Founding Shop Pilot
Start clean. Build around controlled workflow from day one.
RustForge is looking for a small number of manufacturing shops to evaluate RustNet-Shop through one real or sanitized job packet. The pilot can review quote basis, customer PO comparison, job packet readiness, material and outside service requirements, vendor PO preparation, missing cert/evidence risks, and traveler/release review.
