Plug NLPP into the data you already have.

Where the data comes from

Drawing analysis
3D geometry (XLSX)
Material master (XLSX)
Cost Agent bridge

Drawings come in via analysis. 3D and material master are optional Excel.

The cost agent shares parameter extraction so you don't pay twice. Material masters stay org-scoped, never shared cross-tenant.

Inside MAindTec

MAindTec
Workspace
Cost
Meeting
Harness
Vault

NLPP is part of the MAindTec family.

Lives next to Workspace projects. Shares parameter extraction with Cost. Org-scoped material masters never cross tenants.
