FROM A QUESTION TO A CLEARER DECISION
See what agrees.
Know what needs checking.
Ask LINQ Assist to investigate a product and its sources. This example compares a specification with supplier documents, separates supported facts from open questions, and proposes a missing value for review.

Compare this housing specification with the supplier documents. What matches, what needs checking, and what information could we add?
LINQ Assist
I compared CMP-208 revision 03 with the sample supplier technical sheet and quote. The nominal bore and finish agree. Two specification details need confirmation, and the quote provides a lead-time value that is missing from the record.
- Matches the source
Both the record and supplier sheet specify a 25 mm nominal bore and a clear anodized finish.
- Needs further validation
The record specifies Aluminum 6061-T6 and a ±0.05 mm bore tolerance. The supplier sheet says Aluminum 6061 and 25 mm, without the temper or tolerance. That is a gap in the evidence, not confirmation of a match.
- Additional information to review
The supplier quote states a lead time of 20 working days. The record’s Supplier lead time field is blank. I can propose that value with its source for your review.

Why does the material rule classify this stainless-steel mounting bracket as Steel?
LINQ AssistIllustrative AI conversation using sample data and prepared responses.
The description says “Mounting bracket, stainless steel.” The rule must choose from Aluminum, Steel, or Polymer, so Steel is the matching allowed category. It saves that result in Material category.

A LITTLE MORE CONTEXT
Questions,
connected.
What can LINQ Assistant help me analyze?
Ask about your connected product information: specification gaps, BOM relationships, supplier details, pricing, documents, and revisions. Use Insights and scoring as a starting point, then investigate the records and evidence behind a finding.
How can it help with research?
Use the conversation to investigate product questions, compare technical information, and identify details to follow up. Bring relevant records, PDFs, and images into context. Check the sources behind a finding and distinguish documented values from suggestions or assumptions.
Does AI validate a specification automatically?
LINQ Assistant can help compare values, identify inconsistencies, and flag missing evidence. A match to a source or a high Spec Score does not establish engineering correctness, certification, or compliance. Your team reviews the evidence and makes the decision.
Can it help fill in missing information?
Yes. Ask it to identify useful information in supporting documents and propose supplemental values or product context. Check the source, units, revision, and applicability before confirming an addition. The example above leaves unresolved questions visible.
Can I include a document or image?
Attach PDFs or images to the conversation and ask the assistant to summarize, compare, or help extract relevant details. Review its interpretation against the original source before using the information.
Can LINQ Assistant still create records?
Yes. It can propose objects such as components, purchase orders, and opportunities, as well as reviewable actions. Inspect the proposed details and choose whether to confirm or reject them. Website examples use sample data and do not change your account.
