Engineering drawing → first-article inspection template

Problem
Building inspection sheets from drawings by hand is slow.
How it works
Claude/ChatGPT reads the drawing PDF, lists dimensions and tolerances, and outputs a checklist that QC reviews.
ROI / what to measure
Hours of QC prep saved per new part (must be human-verified).
