Aligned to your shop. The physics stays put.
ARCNM calibrates to each source's real costs — a plant, a supply area, a supplier — from a handful of known actuals, and every value in a calculation still names where it came from: your environment, or the reference it started from. Feature recognition, process planning and the physics stay industry-standard and untouched.
Every value names its source
Every rate and value that reaches a calculation says where it came from: set by you on the environment, inherited from a parent environment, calibrated from your actuals, or taken from the reference the environment started with. Nothing is a silent guess — a value ARCNM cannot determine is reported, never filled with a quiet zero.
Calibrated, never bent
Calibration moves the price to your level; it never rewrites the physics. If your actuals and the physics pull apart far enough to suggest a real modelling issue, ARCNM flags it instead of quietly bending the numbers — so accuracy never means a distorted model.
Private to each source
The reference every environment starts from is built from published engineering sources and our own reference parts — never from customer data. Each of your environments then calibrates privately from its own actuals to one plant, supply area or supplier, and nothing learned in one source ever shapes another's quotes.
Calibrated uncertainty
Every source carries a calibrated confidence band that tightens as its evidence accrues and widens again when your actuals start to drift from the model, so the interval stays honest instead of overconfident.
