# 24-month roadmap **Copiloto Aero** — AI quoting cockpit for aerospace suppliers: reads requests and drawings, prepares the quote with the company's pricing engine, and the analyst approves every section.
## Next 8 weeks (before asking for money) What YC recommends doing first: talk to users, charge early and get 10 customers who actually use the product. - Measure time per quote before and after. - Sign a paid contract with INDUMET. - Demo to 10 machine shops in Querétaro/Chihuahua. - Generic pricing engine connector. Milestones tied to the use of funds. Each quarter has a deliverable the investor can verify. ## Months 1–6: Multi-customer product - Contract with INDUMET and savings metrics - Generic pricing engine connector - 2 new customers ## Months 7–12: Clusters - Presence in Querétaro and Chihuahua - Integration with 2 ERPs - 5 customers ## Months 13–18: Our own pricing engine - Costing module for companies without one - First US customer - 8 customers ## Months 19–24: Precision manufacturing - ~11 customers - Medical vertical - Break-even ## Features that answer competitors' customer complaints Taken from 09_Competencia_y_Quejas: what customers complain about with competitors that we do not fully cover yet. ### Months 1–6 - **Conversational interface with no learning curve (text and voice)** (partial, high): Open WebUI cockpit lets users ask and adjust by text or voice; adoption time with users outside the anchor client is not yet measured. - **Generic pricing-engine connector (multi-tenant)** (missing, high): Today it depends on the anchor client's third-party engine (NATALIA); without this it can't be sold to another company. - **Savings metrics: hours per quote, quotes/month and win rate** (missing, high): Listed as pending; it is the sales argument vs ERP/CPQ and proof of fast ROI. - **Aerospace-grade security and compliance (dedicated server, ITAR/AS9100-style controls)** (partial, high): Audit log exists; hardening (phase F8) and dedicated server are pending. - **Drawing requirement risk flags (tolerances, material, finishes)** (partial, high): Triage already catches part-number discrepancies; explicit flagging of tight tolerances and special specs is missing. ### Months 7–12 - **Manufacturing ERP integration (e.g. JobBOSS², Epicor, SAP)** (missing, high): On roadmap (2 ERPs in months 7–12); competitors link quote → order → invoice. - **Win/loss analytics and margin dashboard** (partial, medium): Command center exists; quote → order tracking and loss analysis are missing. - **Historical search by partial drawing number and shape similarity** (partial, medium): Search is semantic/text; image or geometry-based drawing search, CADDi's strength, is missing. - **Outside-process supplier quoting (treatments, finishes, material)** (missing, medium): Shop quoting tools often request subcontractor prices in-flow; not in the product today. ### Months 13–18 - **Own costing module for companies without a pricing engine** (missing, medium): On roadmap (months 13–18); needed to sell to companies quoting in Excel. - **3D CAD geometry analysis to estimate machine time** (missing, low): Table stakes for Paperless Parts and aPriori; secondary for Tier 2/3 suppliers that receive 2D drawings. ## Metrics we will report every quarter - Active customers and users - Quotes processed per month - Hours per quote (before vs after) - Quote win rate - MRR and churn
