Avoid Costly BOM Mistakes — Catch Design Risks Early
DELTA is change-tracking software for engineering teams and small shops. Know instantly when a design change ripples through your assemblies, impacts cost and timeline, and risks production delays.
Zero commitment • No credit card
What DELTA Does For You
See cascading impacts instantly — Know when a part change ripples through assemblies
Prevent cost surprises — Reveal hidden costs before they hit your margin
Avoid timeline delays — Understand lead-time bottlenecks upfront
Make faster decisions — Color-coded risk zones show what needs attention
Visual Risk Zones at a Glance
DELTA displays design risks using intuitive color zones. No special training needed — your team understands instantly what needs attention:
🔴 RED ZONE
Critical — Immediate action required. Single-point failures, cost overruns, timeline breaks.
🟠 ORANGE ZONE
Caution — Plan & mitigate. Costs trending toward margin erosion, lead times getting tight.
🟢 GREEN ZONE
Optimal — Safe to iterate. Over-designed margins, redundant suppliers, low risk.
Dashboard Screenshot Coming Soon
Beta testers receive full dashboard screenshots showing risk zones, impact maps, and change tracking interface. Beta access includes demo video walkthrough.
⚙️ How DELTA Works — Technical Details
For engineers and technical stakeholders who want to understand the architecture:
📥 Design Change Stream
CAD updates, component substitutions, specification modifications enter the system
🔍 Change Fingerprint Engine
Each change is analyzed across multiple dimensions: Geometry, Electrical characteristics, Supplier profile, Manufacturing requirements, Assembly implications
🎯 Five Signal Detection System
Changes are analyzed through five independent detection channels simultaneously
📊 Problem Clustering Engine
Related risks are grouped into actionable problem zones with recommended actions
✅ Decision Support Dashboard
Clear recommendation with what-if scenarios for informed decision making
Five Detection Channels Working Together
Each design change is simultaneously analyzed through five independent detection systems that work together to catch all potential problems:
1Impact Mapper
Maps how changing one component ripples through design dependencies. Shows assembly sequence breaks before they happen. Identifies parts that trigger cascading redesigns.
2Ripple Tracker
Real-time cascading change detection. When Part A changes, automatically flags all assemblies affected. Shows secondary and tertiary effects.
3Cost Delta Monitor
Tracks cost amplification, not raw prices. Reveals hidden costs: tooling, testing, supplier markups, assembly changes.
4Timeline Pressure Gauge
Visualizes temporal constraints. Analyzes lead time chains, identifies critical supplier bottlenecks, calculates schedule risk.
5Supply Friction Analyzer
Identifies sourcing hazards: single-source dependencies, geopolitical risks, bulk minimums, availability windows, quality variations.
Color-Coded Risk Zones (No Specialized Training Needed)
DELTA replaces complex status tracking with intuitive color zones. Your team understands instantly what action is needed:
RED ZONE
Critical
Immediate action required. Single-point failures, critical cost overruns, timeline breaks.
ORANGE ZONE
Caution
Plan & mitigate. Cost trending toward margin erosion, lead times getting tight.
YELLOW ZONE
Watch
Monitor closely. Acceptable but trending toward problems.
BLUE ZONE
Stable
All parameters within comfortable ranges. No action needed.
GREEN ZONE
Optimal
Reusable template. Over-designed margins, highly redundant suppliers.
Why This Approach Works
Most BOM tools are built for static inventory. DELTA is different:
🔄 Built for Rapid Iteration
Tracks design changes and their cascading effects — not just parts and quantities.
💰 Reveals Hidden Costs
A “small” part change often triggers tooling, testing, and supplier costs that dwarf the savings.
⏰ Shows Timeline Impact
Lead-time bottlenecks kill schedules. DELTA shows which changes compress your timeline.
👥 Intuitive for Your Team
Color zones, visual impact maps, and clear decisions. No special training needed.
How It Works For You
DELTA works in phases, starting simple:
1. Upload Your BOM
Describe your parts, dependencies, and suppliers.
2. Track Changes
When you design a change, DELTA shows cascading impacts instantly.
3. Get Risk Assessment
See RED/ORANGE/GREEN zones and make better decisions faster.
