PATYX — Brand Book 1.0

01 — Brand Strategy

Positioning

PATYX sits at the intersection of aerospace engineering and AI agent orchestration. Not a CAD tool. Not a simulation platform. The pipeline that connects all of them.

Positioning Statement

For aerospace engineers and defense tech teams who need to go from design spec to flight-ready hardware in weeks instead of months, PATYX is the parametric rocket design platform that uses AI agents to automate the full pipeline — from CadQuery generation through simulation, training, and flight control configuration — because autonomous systems should be designed by autonomous systems.

Archetype

Mission Control

Dark-first, monospace-heavy, grid-precise. Every pixel has a purpose. The aesthetic draws from NASA mission control displays, Bloomberg Terminal density, and SpaceX webcast telemetry overlays — rendered with contemporary design sensibility.

Core Values

Precision

Every parameter matters. Every tolerance is intentional. We engineer to specification, not approximation.

Autonomy

AI agents operate as co-workers, not tools. They make domain decisions, handle handoffs, and own outcomes.

Verticality

We control the full stack: CAD, simulation, AI training, flight control, telemetry, and manufacturing.

Mission-Readiness

Everything we build ships. Prototypes become products. Simulations become flights.

Open Architecture

Modular, documented, composable. ArduPilot, MAVLink, ONNX, standard protocols. No vendor lock-in.

Voice — Do / Don't

"8-stage design pipeline. Go/No-Go at each gate. Zero manual handoffs."

Don't

"Our revolutionary AI platform makes rocket design easy!"

"Parametric CAD generation via CadQuery. Constrained by thermal envelope, RF transparency, and thrust profile."

Don't

"Unleash the power of AI in aerospace!"

08 — Do Not List

Prohibited Patterns

12 rules. Hard constraints. Violations break the Mission Control archetype and signal consumer-grade software.

Never use rounded pill shapes (border-radius: 9999px) — this is engineering software, not a consumer app.

Never use gradients on backgrounds or buttons. Flat fills only. Gradients are for data visualization only.

Never use serif fonts anywhere. Serif implies tradition. PATYX is future-forward. Inter and JetBrains Mono only.

Never use illustrations or cartoons. Photography, renders, and data visualizations only.

Never use "friendly" or "playful" language. We are precise and authoritative. No exclamation marks.

Never use light mode as default. Dark mode is primary for extended use in operational environments.

Never add decorative elements that don't convey information. Every pixel has a purpose.

Never use more than 3 colors in a single data visualization. Telemetry palette is additive, not simultaneous.

Never use rounded avatars or profile pictures. Square with 2px radius only.

Never hide technical details behind "Learn more". Show the specs upfront. Engineers read the docs first.

Never use loading spinners. Use skeleton screens with pulse animation. Spinners imply indefinite waits.

Never use consumer-tech blue (#007AFF, #2563EB) as accent. Signal green is the differentiator.

09 — Accessibility

WCAG AA Compliance

Dark mode demands rigorous contrast verification. All interactive elements have visible focus rings. Status colors supplemented with text labels for color-blind users.

Contrast Ratios — WCAG AA requires 4.5:1 (normal), 3:1 (large)

Color-Blind Safe Status Indicators

Status is never communicated by color alone. Every status indicator uses a colored dot AND a text label (GO / CAUTION / NO-GO / HOLD). The pipeline table also includes numeric stage identifiers and explicit text descriptions.

GO — nominal CAUTION — review NO-GO — abort HOLD — pending

All four states distinguishable by shape position + text label independent of color perception.
