Engineering and product design
Engineering records show why a design changed
Design reviews, CAD, BOMs and test results. Client designs and controlled data are reviewed first.

Textbooks explain engineering principles. They rarely show how a real team takes a part from a requirement to a released drawing, including the failed test and the review that fixed it.
Beyond the change itself, your reviews, tests and revisions capture the reasoning that drove it.
Where the value usually sits
- CAD files and revisions. How parts and assemblies get modeled and toleranced.
- BOMs and calculation sheets. Sizing decisions and material choices.
- Test and simulation results. What the model said against what the test showed.
- Design review notes. Points of debate and how each was settled.
A common first question: client designs covered by NDA
A lot of engineering work is client property or covered by an NDA. Your contracts decide whether any of it fits in scope, and reading them is for your counsel. We do not offer legal advice. Client-owned material is reviewed when the scope is set and can stay out.
Where your work involves aerospace or defense programs, export-controlled technical data is flagged and removed.
What you can hold back
- 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. Any project or period can stay out.
How it works
You fill in the estimate form, and a specialist from License Your Data calls within minutes to book a 15-minute call under NDA. From your scope, License Your Data then builds a de-identified copy. You approve a sample, and only after that do buyers license the copy.
Owners often ask
- 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.
- Does anyone get into our PDM vault?
- No. Passwords are never requested or shared.
- Does our IP stay ours?
- Yes. Buyers license a de-identified copy. Your originals stay in your systems and stay yours.
- What does it cost?
- No. There is no cost to you.
