Software has compilers, linters, and static analysis. Hardware doesn't - not at the architecture level. We're building the verification layer that hardware teams have been missing.
Our first product, Architon, catches integration failures before PCB fabrication using deterministic, CI-native rules. No AI. No guessing. Exit code 2 means a violation - always.
"Software teams wouldn't ship without a compiler catching type errors. Hardware teams routinely spin boards with integration failures that a deterministic rule engine could have caught in CI."
Architon is a command-line tool that verifies the electrical architecture of embedded and robotics designs before fabrication. It reads KiCad netlists and BOMs, propagates voltages through the design, and applies rule modules that check cross-component compatibility.
The core is deterministic by design. No AI, no probabilistic inference. Exit code 2 means a violation - always. Engineers running this in CI need a result they can trust unconditionally.
The open-source core is Apache 2.0. Paid tiers add AI-assisted violation explanations, PDF design review reports, shared team rule sets, and priority parts database coverage.
Cyrux Systems is an early-stage hardware tools company based in Stockholm. We build deterministic verification infrastructure for engineers who build embedded systems, robotics, and electrified equipment.
The name comes from cybernetics and crux - the science of systems and control, and the critical point where failure or success is determined. We think that critical verification layer is the missing piece for professional hardware engineering.
We're at an early stage: working with design partners, shipping fast, and being honest about where the product is and where it's going. We're not a platform story. We're a tooling company.
Hardware engineering lacks the verification infrastructure software engineering has had for decades. Every embedded and robotics team re-discovers this the hard way - when they pay for a board spin that a linter would have prevented.
We're building the rule engine, parts database, and CI workflow that becomes the standard pre-fabrication check. Architon is the wedge. Field diagnostics hardware is the logical expansion to the same buyer.
The model is open core: the CLI is Apache 2.0 and free forever. Revenue comes from Pro seats (AI explanations, reports), Team plans, and eventually Enterprise contracts with custom rule libraries and on-premise deployment.
