NEXUSConnectivity model
Devices, connectors, pins, wires, splices and harness topology. Nets are derived, not drawn.
Engineering design data platform
Design data you can trace, check and release.
One connectivity model drives your wire lists, cut lists, test plans, schematics, ladder diagrams, nail-boards and panel layouts. Every revision is checksummed, every approval is separated from the author, and every action lands in a tamper-evident audit trail.

From one model to every deliverable.
Generated views are always derived from the model, never edited by hand, so they cannot drift apart.
Design-rule checks
Shorts, open pins, terminal limits, voltage drop, bend radius, bundle clearance, panel spacing and thermal budget.
Wire, cut and BOM reports
Wire list, cut list, bill of materials, termination list, splice table, labels, test plan and more, with provenance.
Schematics and ladders
Drafted ISO A4–A0 sheets with zones and a title block; ladder diagrams with coil and contact cross-reference.
Harness and panel
Shortest-path routing, 3D bend and clearance checks, service loops, to-scale nail-boards and panel layouts.
Wire selection
Pick conductors against your own wire library and derating inputs. NEXUS ships no standards data.
Revisions and approvals
Immutable checksummed revisions, optimistic concurrency, review and release with separation of duties.
Audit trail
Hash-chained per-organization log you can verify at any time, plus export and import of whole projects.
Governed AI actions
Agents propose; a person approves risky steps. Every proposal, preview and outcome is recorded.

Honest status
What is real today.
NEXUS is an alpha. We say what is built, what is verified and what is not, so you can judge it.
| Area | State | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Platform: identity, projects, revisions, audit, sync | BUILT · TESTED | Same automated suite passes on SQLite and PostgreSQL. |
| NEXUS Electrical | PROVISIONAL | Outputs are labelled until a revision is released and passes its checks. Engineer review is required. |
| Single sign-on | LOCAL TEST ONLY | Verified against a test provider, not yet a production identity provider. |
| Wire selection standards data | NOT INCLUDED | You supply the wire library; nothing is certified or standards-checked. |
| Other products (mechanical, simulation, structural, BIM) | PLANNED | Not started. |
Trust
Built to be audited.
Security controls you can inspect, not claims you have to take on faith.
Sessions and CSRF
HttpOnly SameSite cookies, per-session CSRF token, origin checks, login throttling that survives restarts.
Two-step sign-in
TOTP with encrypted secrets, recovery codes and replay protection.
Tamper evidence
Append-only tables, checksummed revisions and a hash-chained audit log you can verify on demand.
