Engineering Engines as First-Class Citizens
Deterministic simulation engines are infrastructure, not afterthoughts. Peer-reviewed open-source engines exposed as typed MCP tools with session persistence, cross-engine handoffs, and model credibility metadata.
Why This Matters
In most engineering firms, simulation models live in notebooks, Excel spreadsheets, or desktop applications disconnected from project state. An engineer runs a model, copies results into a report, and the model becomes stale the moment project parameters change.
PuranOS treats engineering computation differently. Each engine is API-first (not GUI-first), session-persistent across agent interactions, and produces results with explicit credibility metadata — so downstream consumers know whether a number came from a screening estimate or a calibrated model.
Cross-engine handoffs use typed converters. A QSDsan effluent composition becomes a WaterTAP influent specification with unit conversion and component mapping, carrying provenance from the source model.

Model Credibility Metadata
An agent-generated sizing is not automatically "engineering grade." Every simulation result carries explicit credibility metadata:
Model status
validated · calibrated · heuristic · preliminary · stub
Decision grade
design · budgetary · screening · order-of-magnitude
Validation basis
bench-tested · plant-data · literature · vendor · assumed
The credibility metadata is what allows a PE reviewer to know what level of trust to place in a result.
