"Why do hardware teams still rely on brittle slides and spreadsheets?" asks Mai Bui, cofounder of Quarter20. "A CAD‑connected wiki can turn documentation into living, executable knowledge."

Quarter20 shows auto-updating work instructions, technician analytics, and a cloud workflow that links design to the shop floor.

• The boiling frog of legacy CAD tooling and manual documentation
• Quarter20’s origin story from real manufacturing pain
• A CAD-connected wiki as a single source of truth
• Replacing PowerPoint and Word with live documentation
