Engineering Memory Bank

AI-Powered Engineering Decision Intelligence Platform

Status Business Model Revenue Potential

Transform your AI assistants into engineering experts with real-time decision intelligence.


🚀 START HERE - Executive Overview

Engineering Memory Bank makes Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI assistants dramatically smarter about engineering decisions through invisible infrastructure.

The Magic: Instead of asking engineers to document decisions, we enhance their AI assistants with engineering intelligence.

Engineer asks Claude: "What power management worked well in similar IoT projects?"

Behind the scenes:
✓ Claude calls our MCP server
✓ Server searches engineering decisions + verifies current components  
✓ Returns: "TI TPS62130 used in 3 projects, 4-week availability, $2.45"
✓ We earn $0.10 for the engineering intelligence

Engineer gets comprehensive answer. We get revenue. Everyone wins.

Quick Stats

  • 🎯 Market: $13.7B knowledge management space, 90% of teams suffer from "decision scatter"
  • 💰 Revenue Model: Usage-based ($0.10/query) aligned with value delivery
  • 📈 Projections: $150K ARR Year 1 → $4.8M ARR Year 3
  • Timing: 2025 MCP adoption wave creates first-mover advantage

  • ✅ Multiple customer segments identified (SME → Enterprise → Vendors)
  • ✅ Competitive advantages established (network effects, real-time intelligence)

🎯 NEXT STEPS

Week 1: Foundation

  1. Read Executive Summary (5 minutes)
  2. Review MCP Business Model (20 minutes)
  3. Fix import errors in python/memory_bank/ (technical)
  4. Customer interviews with 5 engineering teams (validation)

Month 1: MVP

  1. MCP server prototype with basic engineering intelligence
  2. Multi-LLM integration (Claude + OpenAI + Ollama)
  3. Private beta program with 3-5 engineering teams
  4. Usage analytics and pricing validation

Month 3: Scale

  1. 25 organizations actively using private beta
  2. $5K+ MRR from usage-based pricing model
  3. Web search integration for real-time component verification
  4. Enterprise pipeline with private deployment options

🏆 KEY COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGES

Perfect Market Timing

  • 2025 is the "iPhone App Store moment" for MCP servers
  • MCP only went public late 2024 - market wide open
  • Every engineer already using AI assistants daily

Infrastructure vs. Tool Positioning

  • Traditional: "Buy our documentation software" (fails due to adoption friction)
  • Our approach: "Your AI assistants just got 10x smarter" (invisible infrastructure)

Usage-Aligned Revenue

  • Engineers who save the most time pay the most
  • Revenue scales naturally with value delivery
  • Network effects improve quality with more engineering decisions

Real-Time Intelligence

  • Not static documentation - live component availability, standards updates
  • Web search integration provides dynamic engineering intelligence
  • Supply chain alerts, patent monitoring, failure mode updates

💡 BREAKTHROUGH INSIGHTS

1. MCP Server Infrastructure Model

Positioning as AI infrastructure rather than documentation software creates 10x higher customer lifetime value and eliminates adoption friction.

2. Multi-LLM Provider Architecture

Supporting Claude, OpenAI, Ollama, and others prevents vendor lock-in while optimizing for different engineering tasks.

3. Tree-sitter Semantic Analysis

Automatic decision capture from git commits using semantic code understanding - no manual documentation required.

4. Cross-Industry Learning

AI identifies successful patterns from automotive and applies to aerospace, IoT, medical devices, etc.
