Engineering milestones leading to Specwarden public launch. Newest first.
Specwarden is currently in private beta. Join the waitlist to be invited when paid plans open.
Waitlist launch
Latest2026-05-19
specwarden.ai is live. Engineering teams can sign up to be notified when paid plans open.
- Marketing site + waitlist form live at specwarden.ai
- Resend audience integration + transactional welcome email
- App routes gated by env-flag, ready for one-toggle public launch
PFMEA engine + multi-standard support
2026-05-18
Process FMEA review added alongside Design FMEA. Standards selector restructured around scoring rubric, not document type.
- PFMEA review engine with 6 PFMEA-specific rule checks (U-101, U-102, D-101, D-102, D-103, M-101)
- PFMEA-tuned Sonnet prompt with separate Control Method handling for Prevention vs Detection
- Standards page restructured: AIAG-VDA Handbook (2019) and AIAG-RPN (FMEA-4) are first-class rubrics
- Detection banner in mapping UI when document type is auto-detected from headers
Reviewed Copy + dark mode
2026-05-18
Two product surface improvements requested by early reviewers.
- Reviewed Copy export — your original FMEA spreadsheet with findings highlighted as cell comments
- System-wide dark mode with persistent preference (Settings → Appearance)
Closed-loop validation
2026-05-17
Post-action review per AIAG-VDA §2.6.3 — verify whether your taken actions actually moved the risk score.
- U-013: Revised ratings missing after target date passes
- U-014: Revised RPN arithmetic incorrect after action
- D-005: Implausible risk-reduction flag (action claims over 70% RPN drop with no S or O change)
- D-004 expanded to 3 cases: overdue target date, empty revised values, vague action description
- Action Effectiveness Summary table in PDF and Word exports
Production scale + delivery
2026-05-15
Engineering scale work to handle real-world FMEA sheet sizes.
- Up to 500-row file support via item-aligned chunking
- Prompt caching — significant cost reduction on multi-chunk reviews
- Project history dashboard (recent reviews + re-download)
- Column mapping templates (save and reuse mappings across reviews)
Engine validation
2026-05-11
Foundation work — review engine validated against a hand-authored fixture set.
- 10 hand-authored DFMEA fixtures across casting, fastener, gearbox, and turbocharger domains
- 4-gate evaluation methodology: coverage, hallucination ceiling, bloat, qualitative
- AIAG-RPN and AIAG-VDA both auto-detected and verified
- Tier-2 supplier-blame detection moat: 3 spontaneous catches in 10 fixtures, senior QE verified
- 7 deterministic rule checks (ruleEngine) with 100% unit test coverage
