Engineering Decisions Deserve More Than AI Answers.
Introducing ERL — Engineering Rule Logic.
A next-generation engineering software platform in development, designed to bring governed logic, verifiable evidence, and traceable decisions into engineering workflows.
Explore The Future of ERL
Four views into a developing engineering intelligence platform — from individual assets and interconnected systems to design evaluation and lifecycle information.
Asset Intelligence — Engineering Context at the Equipment Level
Explore how ERL is envisioned to connect equipment records, lifecycle evidence, and AI-assisted explanations while identifying information still needed for a governed evaluation.
Illustrative development preview using synthetic data. No compliance evaluation performed.
System Intelligence — Understanding the Bigger Picture
System Intelligence — Connected Engineering Information
Explore how ERL is envisioned to bring together connected equipment, design requirements, testing records, system dependencies, and supporting evidence to help identify conditions requiring further review.
Illustrative development preview using synthetic data. No engineering acceptance or compliance evaluation performed.
Design Intelligence — Engineering Meets the Model
Design Intelligence — Connecting Engineering Logic to the Model
Explore ERL's envisioned integration of engineering design information, BIM model views, equipment selections, and governed evaluation requirements. The interface highlights missing inputs, supporting evidence, and conditions requiring confirmation before engineering conclusions can be established.
Illustrative development preview using synthetic data and model imagery. No design compliance evaluation performed.
Lifecycle Intelligence — Engineering Truth Over Time
Lifecycle Intelligence — Connecting Engineering Information Over Time
Explore how ERL is envisioned to distinguish and connect design information, approved submittals, installed conditions, commissioning records, operational observations, and maintenance history. These separate information layers help reveal changes, evidence gaps, and questions requiring further investigation.
Future capability concept using synthetic records. No live monitoring, engineering acceptance, or compliance evaluation performed.
People Ask. AI Helps. ERL Applies Engineering Logic.
ERL is being developed around a fundamental distinction: artificial intelligence can help people find, interpret, and organize engineering information, but it does not have authority to make engineering compliance decisions.
The ERL engine is designed to evaluate information against governed engineering rules and calculations, producing explicit outcomes supported by traceable evidence.
When information is missing, requirements conflict, or human judgment is required, ERL is designed to identify those limitations rather than manufacture certainty.

Built by TrueBasis Technologies
TrueBasis Technologies is developing software foundations designed to support reliable, governed intelligence across technical disciplines.
Our philosophy is straightforward: establish trustworthy software and deterministic decision-making foundations first, then develop specialized AI capabilities around them.
ERL — Engineering Rule Logic — is the company's first engineering-focused platform, with a long-term vision extending beyond a single discipline.

From Project Information to Defensible Decisions
Engineering questions often require information scattered across drawings, specifications, equipment records, and field reports. ERL is being developed to bring that evidence together—helping authorized users perform calculations, evaluate requirements, and understand the basis for each result.
When information is missing or insufficient, ERL is designed to make that limitation clear rather than present an unsupported conclusion.
