Engineering and product design
Why a design moved on is written in your engineering files
Test results, BOMs, CAD and review notes, after a first check of client designs and controlled data.

Principles are covered in textbooks. The path a real team takes from requirement to released drawing, failed test and fixing review included, almost never is.
Beyond the change itself, your reviews, tests and revisions capture the reasoning that drove it.
Records that usually qualify
- CAD files and revisions. The modeling and tolerancing of parts and assemblies.
- BOMs and calculation sheets. How parts get sized and materials picked.
- Test and simulation results. Measured outcomes set beside predictions.
- Design review notes. The arguments and the final calls.
What owners ask first: what about client work under NDA?
A lot of engineering work is client property or covered by an NDA. Whether any of it can be in scope depends on your contracts, which are for your counsel to read. Legal advice is outside what we do. During scoping, client-owned material is reviewed and can be left out.
Export-controlled technical data from any defense or aerospace program is flagged and kept out.
What can stay out
- Client-owned designs. Left out by default, unless you and your counsel decide to include them.
- Export-controlled data. Marked and kept out.
- Product lines you treat as core. Hold back any project or period.
How it runs
After you send the estimate form, a License Your Data specialist calls within minutes and books a 15-minute call under NDA. License Your Data then prepares a de-identified copy of what you put in scope. First you approve a sample. After that, buyers can license the copy.
Owner FAQ
- Is there a fee?
- No. There is no cost to you.
- Does someone need a login to our PDM vault?
- No. Nobody asks for or receives a password.
- Do we keep our IP?
- Yes. What buyers license is a de-identified copy, while your originals remain yours, in your systems.
- Do we need to get files ready?
- No prep at all. Just know which tools you work in and about since when, and expect no export requests.
