Whetstone
Do the work only a materials science expert witness can do. Hand off the rest.
Let AI handle the busywork. Only do the work that matters.
Too much of your week is consumed by work that doesn't need your judgment.
Cataloging micrographs, extracting composition specs from standards, compiling test data — real work, just not your work.
But you don't have to do it alone.
You are the expert.
AI is your tireless lab assistant.
Tireless, encyclopedic, and fast — but it doesn't know metallurgy or failure mechanisms.
Direct it. Review it. Sign off.
- Assign the first pass. Case file review, literature synthesis, report drafts — the work that needs elbow grease, not expertise.
For materials science experts whose time is the bottleneck.
Metallurgical failure analysis
The SEM images show the fracture. AI cross-references heat treatment records with material certs.
Corrosion and degradation
You identify the mechanism. AI extracts environmental exposure data from maintenance logs.
Polymer and composite failures
Your analysis determines root cause. AI compiles formulation changes and processing parameters.
Material selection disputes
You assess whether the material was appropriate. AI pulls spec requirements from hundreds of pages.
Your time is the constraint. Your judgment is the value.
