Engineering console: ask in plain words, get numbers with sources

The engineering console now answers hardware questions in plain words without any AI model: selection by requirements with A/B/C verdicts, property values across a class, companies by country, follow-up questions, permanent links — and an MCP tool for assistants.

The engineering console answers hardware questions in plain English or Russian straight from the typed specification layer — and now works without any AI model at all.

  • Selection by requirements. “Star tracker better than 10 arcsec under 1 kg” returns every catalogued product sorted into A (meets every stated requirement), B (fails one — both figures quoted) and C (cannot be judged — the value is not published). New filters: minimum mass, maximum battery capacity, field of view, maximum thrust.
  • Values across a class. “Lead time of reaction wheels” or “what tuna-can volume do deployers allow” gives a table of the published values with their conditions.
  • Companies and launches. “Who makes batteries in Germany”, “deployer makers in Europe”, “launches in October”.
  • A conversation, not a form. Ask “and the second one?” or “compare the first two”; remove any requirement with one click, or relax it by 20% when nothing fits.
  • Honest about gaps. Requirements the data cannot check are named in the answer; prices are never guessed.
  • Share and keep. Every answer has a permanent link and a print view; the whole of group A goes to the request basket in one click.

For machines: the same logic is available as POST /wp-json/kls/v1/mrd-console and as the MCP tool ask_console — see how to connect.
