Does faster CAD drafting survive engineering validation?
Include engineer validation, rejected proposals and software cost in design-iteration economics.
Example scenario

- Baseline engineering hours / iteration
- 8
- AI-assisted drafting hours / iteration
- 2
- Validation hours / AI iteration
- 3
- Iterations requiring full manual restart
- 15 %
- Loaded engineering cost / hour

- Manual restart iterations
- 180
What to do with this result
Benchmark representative parts against tolerances, manufacturability and design intent; no benchmark score establishes production readiness for your components.

Calculation method
Hours released = iterations × [manual hours − AI draft hours − validation hours − rejection rate × manual restart hours].
Assumptions and limitations
- Example inputs are editable scenarios, not Aryo results or independently verified industry benchmarks.
- Time value is not guaranteed payroll savings. Include adoption, human review, exceptions, security and change management in implementation decisions.
