Identify request fields
Organize “SUS”, “30” and “bend” as candidate material, dimension and process fields.
CosmoCrew Skill / Quotation Drafts In development
Quotation drafts that account for nuance,
built around
your company.
As one of Cosmo's skills, we are developing it around past quotations and conditions the team considers important. We aim to include reasoning and exceptions that a price alone cannot capture.
This skill is in development and is not yet available. Features, timing and cost will be announced when confirmed.
REQUEST CONTEXT
“Use SUS, 30, with a slight bend.”
Which dimension is 30? What bend is required?

Manufacturing Workflow In development
Turn an ambiguous request
into conditions for review.
Confirm material, dimensions and processing before the calculation. The development goal is to make these checks traceable for the team.
EXAMPLE INPUT
Request: SUS, 30, slight bend
Material grade: unconfirmed
Meaning of 30: unconfirmed
Process: bending / angle: unconfirmedConnect history and judgement
Connect drawings, thickness, quantity, delivery, bend angles and tolerances with the team's quotation criteria.
Check missing conditions
What dimension does “30” describe, and which material grade is intended? Keep unknown conditions for human confirmation rather than guessing.
A workflow illustrating the development direction. Inputs are examples, not released features or actual product screens.
Development Direction
Before calculating,
define the judgement criteria.
Some quotation conditions cannot be determined by a formula alone. We examine the team's judgement and define what the skill should handle.
Past quotations and reasoning
We examine how prices and conditions were decided in past quotations. Our aim is to handle the amount together with the reasoning behind it.
Company-specific conditions
We organize decisions that vary by job, including quantity, delivery dates and machining conditions. Examples help define the required information and review items.
Exceptions requiring review
We separate automated drafting from human decisions. The intended design lets staff review missing information and exceptional conditions.
Evaluation
Compare the prototype
with the team's actual quotations.
The evaluation will consider interpretation of conditions, reasoning and review effort, as well as speed.
Review materials and decisions
Review past quotations and the current preparation process.
Prototype a limited scope
Define the jobs and conditions to evaluate.
Compare with actual quotations
Examine differences from staff-prepared quotations and the reasons for them.
Design the review process
Define editing, approval and exception handling.
This describes our development and validation approach, not released features or completed deployments.
