Models with a passport, and honest gaps
The scientific foundation for engineering calculations. Every model has a passport: which phenomenon it describes, what it includes and leaves out, over which range it applies, which assumptions it rests on and what it does not claim.
When no model covers the question, the answer says exactly that: there is no model. With the reason, the nearest candidates and what it would take to close the gap.
What's inside
Nine disciplines
Mathematics and proof, mechanics and materials, thermodynamics and chemistry, fields and electronics, energy, machines and navigation, communications, construction and environment, biology and production.
Model passport
Phenomenon, included and excluded effects, inputs with units, validity domain, assumptions and what the model does not claim.
Honest gap
If the question falls outside every validity domain, the calculation does not pretend to answer — it names the missing phenomenon or range.
Reference cases
Hundreds of positive and negative cases: a model must not only compute correctly but also refuse an invalid setup.
Industrial chemistry
Mixtures, equilibrium, kinetics and reactors — for dozens of production types, from hydroponics to pharmaceuticals.
What you get
- A check of the calculation for consistency and validity range
- A list of assumptions and of what the calculation does not claim
- A straight “no model applies” instead of a plausible number
- A clear list of what needs to be measured or clarified
