Frequently asked questions

• Is KRAFT just a wrapper for ChatGPT or generic AI?

  Generic AI learns language. KRAFT enforces physics. Every idea entering the system must satisfy governing equations — Fourier's Law, Navier-Stokes, von Mises — before it can progress. An idea that violates thermodynamics doesn't get flagged. It gets rejected, computationally, before it wastes a single engineering hour. That's not a prompt. That's a physics compiler.

• We already use ANSYS and simulation tools. Why do we need KRAFT?

  Simulation answers does this design work? KRAFT answers which of 2,500 directions is worth simulating at all? In benchmarking, KRAFT eliminated 96% of design variants as physically non-viable before simulation ran — cutting compute cost from $50,000 to $174. Your simulation team is a precision instrument. KRAFT decides what it touches.

• How does KRAFT find solutions from industries we've never worked in?

  It doesn't search by industry. It searches by equation. Your battery thermal problem maps to a governing Nusselt-Reynolds relationship — and KRAFT finds every domain across 42 industries where that same equation has been solved, regardless of what those solutions are called. Rocket regenerative cooling. Biomedical microvasculature. Neither appears in battery literature. Both transfer directly. That's Physics Bridge Equation Matching — and it's why our causal match rate is 0.85–0.95 versus 0.3–0.5 for keyword search.

• What happens when a concept fails physics validation?

  KRAFT doesn't just say no. When a concept violates a physical limit — material yield, phase-change threshold, flow boundary — it issues an INVALIDATED verdict and immediately generates a Re-framing Directive: the exact mathematical adjustment needed to make the concept viable. You leave knowing what not to build — and precisely what to build instead.

• We have a strong R&D team. Why would we use a platform?

  KRAFT is built for strong teams — it's useless without them. What it removes is the one constraint no expert can overcome alone: no engineer can track breakthroughs across 42 industries simultaneously. KRAFT does. Your team evaluates, refines, and implements. KRAFT expands the solution space they operate within.

• How quickly do we see value?

  First physics-validated concept set: 8–10 weeks. No CAD models required. No PLM integration needed to start. An engineer inputs the problem with its governing physics — KRAFT begins cross-domain traversal immediately. The Mahindra proof-of-concept generated validated thermal management concepts and patent candidates within that window.
