DraftIQ works with a small number of owner-operators to validate engineering intelligence recovery in real-world brownfield P&ID environments. Design partners shape what we build, get early access to extraction workflows, and inform the engineering review experience.
The Design Partner Program supports industrial teams who work directly with legacy P&ID environments and have operational responsibility for how that documentation is interpreted and modernized.
Refineries, plants, and mills running on documentation that has accumulated through decades of modifications.
Teams responsible for asset integrity who depend on accurate process documentation to make safety-critical decisions.
Planning teams preparing for shutdown windows where documentation gaps create real cost and schedule risk.
Initiatives modernizing engineering data infrastructure — including digital twin preparation and EDMS migration.
Design partners help validate DraftIQ against the conditions that actually exist in industrial documentation environments — not the clean, modern, fully-tagged drawings that demo well but don't reflect the reality on the ground.
Design Partners receive genuine influence over the platform and early access to extraction workflows. In return, we ask for meaningful engagement — not just a sign-up.
DraftIQ is building something specific, and the Design Partner Program only works if expectations are calibrated. Here's what DraftIQ is not — at least not yet, and in some cases not by design.
DraftIQ is purpose-built for engineering drawings. It is not a document-management OCR layer for invoices, contracts, or generic business documents.
DraftIQ does not produce new P&IDs, redraw drawings, or compete with AutoCAD Plant 3D, Hexagon, or AVEVA. It supports interpretation of existing drawings.
DraftIQ helps recover structured engineering data that can feed digital twin programs, but it does not generate or operate twin models.
Performance is not tuned for clean, modern, fully-tagged demo drawings. Development priority is operational accuracy on the messy archives partners actually have.
DraftIQ is not engineering services and does not replace engineering judgment, design approval, regulatory determinations, or professional certification.
The platform is currently delivered through curated engagements with named design partners. There is no public sign-up flow.
Most tools optimize for extraction speed. Industrial teams need engineering interpretation designed for review and validation.
The category is full of OCR layers and symbol-detection demos. DraftIQ is being built around a different premise: that engineering teams will only adopt what they can trace, audit, and review.
