Clustered pages for powder-metallurgy transition, micro-MIM component classes, soft magnetic composite routes, and titanium MIM lightweighting feasibility.
| Track | Primary Bottleneck | Landing Page | Technical Brief |
|---|---|---|---|
| Powder Metallurgy Transition for Robotics Components | Robotics programs hit cost and cycle-time limits when all actuator-adjacent metal parts stay on CNC routes into pilot and ramp phases. | View landing | CNC vs MIM for Robotics Actuators - Cost and Validation Framework |
| Micro-MIM Gears for Robotic Hands | Dexterous-hand programs require tiny, repeatable gear geometries that become expensive and slow when sustained only by micro-CNC routes. | View landing | PM MIM DFM Handoff - Prototype to Pilot Control Plan |
| Soft Magnetic Composite Motor Core Route | Advanced robotics motor teams exploring SMC-like core structures lack clear manufacturability boundaries and execution pathways. | View landing | SMC Motor Core Route Boundaries for Robotics Programs |
| Titanium MIM Components for Robotics | Robotics teams need lighter metal components but often lack a bounded framework for deciding when titanium MIM transitions are viable. | View landing | CNC vs MIM for Robotics Actuators - Cost and Validation Framework |
This board controls whether the robotics wrapper route stays active, improves, merges into wedge pages, or is pruned. Decisions are based on qualified-intent quality, not traffic volume alone.
| Track | Route | Review Window | Qualified-Intent Thresholds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Robotics & AI Hardware Wrapper | /solutions/robotics-and-automation | 30 days | attribution integrity >=0.9, CAD-intent rate >=0.35, and failure-like rate <=0.2 |
| Day-0 Baseline Date | Impressions | Clicks | Qualified RFQ Starts | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-05-16 | Pending capture | Pending capture | Pending capture | Record baseline before first 30-day governance decision. |
| Outcome | Trigger | Required Action |
|---|---|---|
| keep | Qualified-intent signals exceed thresholds with stable RFQ quality. | Keep route active and continue standard monitoring. |
| improve | Traffic is present but one qualified-intent signal is below threshold. | Run copy/UX corrections and re-check within the next review window. |
| merge | Consecutive under-threshold cycles with recoverable intent overlap. | Merge wrapper traffic into stronger wedge/capability pages and update campaign links. |
| prune | Low intent quality with no recoverable route fit across review cycles. | Prune route from campaign destinations and keep only canonical architecture links. |
