Should SpecCore choose the part for me?
No. SpecCore should organize the evidence: extracted specs, normalized values, source snippets, missing fields, and comparison outputs. Engineering still decides whether the product fits the design.
Product Usage
How engineers should use SpecCore during product selection
Common questions about using SpecCore to screen products, compare datasheets, confirm normalized fields, and keep comparison work traceable.
Back to Engineering FAQsWhen should I start a comparison project?
Start when you have two or more candidate products or when purchasing asks for an alternate. Upload the datasheets early so missing values, incompatible units, and weak source data are visible before the decision is due.
What should be confirmed before accepting a comparison?
Confirm the component category, the fields being compared, the units and conversion formula, the source page or table, and whether the value is typical, minimum, maximum, absolute maximum, or guaranteed under a condition.
