I'm sure your feedback is appreciated, but the tone of your reply is a skeptical engineer with arms crosses. This is a show HN post, and we should support the founder(s) if we think this is a good idea. Clearly a MVP product is not going to check all your boxes, but does it have the potential to be really useful?

I see this idea as a sort of AI ERC/DRC checker that offers some incredible opportunities. Even if it only catches one small, it could save thousand of dollars down the line.

It's another tool in the toolbox for hardware designers.

Or it could send a design team down thousands of dollars in false positives/false negatives. With zero benchmarks provided, it is very fair to question a product that could have material negative impacts on a hardware team.

The tool would ideally classify the output into levels. Just like a compiler or DRC checker. If you submit a clean design, the tool should not be throwing major flags. 99% of the time you should be getting advisory outputs, which should not be tricking any designer. The 1% red flags should easily be understood and if you, as the designer, can't discern them, perhaps you don't understand the fundamentals of your own design.
