That era is over. The twins that matter now are decision engines: they search possible designs, evaluate them under real constraints, and generate the evidence that downstream decisions depend on.</p> <p>I care about this shift for a specific reason. I spent years selling automated structural design to engineers who have to stamp the output. A pretty model convinces nobody; an engineer signs when the system can show its inputs, rules and reasoning. That is the bar a twin has to clear, and it runs through three areas I keep coming back to:</p>
