The decision question
How would a design, component or supplier change alter technical performance, delivery work, capital, risk and customer outcome?
Polarstar capability detail
Model product architecture, supply, manufacturing, field service and economics as one transformation decision—not separate spreadsheets.

How would a design, component or supplier change alter technical performance, delivery work, capital, risk and customer outcome?
What the FDE investigates
Requirements, architecture, BOM, component evidence, suppliers, lead times, capacity, certification, production flow and service history.
What becomes computable
System configuration, resource and supply dependencies, delivery recipes, engineering authority, COGS, working capital and reliability constraints.
From ambiguity to accountable change
Every engagement connects operational reality to a reviewable model, an authorised action and evidence of what actually changed.
Compare configurations, propagate supplier and component changes, test constraints and propose revised engineering and procurement work.
The assistant uses scoped tools to investigate and prepare model or workspace operations. Material changes remain proposals until the right person authorises them.
A traceable system and resource scenario plus the operating-model changes required to source, build, approve and service it.
This is an application pattern, not an unverified customer result. Engineering approval and certification remain with authorised professionals.
Illustrative interaction
Illustrative operating pattern—not a customer result or performance claim.
AI-native FDE operating pattern
The FDE can move from a question to investigation and governed action without hiding evidence, calculation or authority.
Clarify the business decision, owner, boundary and success test.
Use only authorised evidence, systems, schemas and workflow context.
Propose business objects, trace dependencies and run deterministic engines.
Show the exact change, limitations and authority required before execution.
Return runtime observations to the hypothesis and decide what changes next.
The FDE acts under the current user’s identity and permissions. Investigation does not create approval.
LLMs help understand and explain. Versioned formulas and constraints calculate the result.
Sources, assumptions, inferences, proposals, decisions and observations retain separate states.

We will define what must be understood, what can be calculated and what evidence is required before change is authorised.
