## VDC Intelligence Engine
Clash detection powered by **20 years of field experience** encoded into D1-backed rules:
- **9 severity rules** — SMACNA, NEC, ACI 318, AISC, ASCE 7 standards
- **5 coordination standards** — MEP clearance, structural proximity
- **Fix suggestions** — Real construction advice, not generic "move element"
- **Rework estimation** — Hours-to-fix based on actual project data
