Boardwise is an open-source AI reviewer for circuit board designs, and its v0.5.15 release shows a habit worth copying. Each new check in the release came from feedback on a real board. One fixes how it measures high-voltage spacing between copper at the same electrical potential. Another tracks current-carrying capacity across copper areas that are electrically joined. A third keeps exceptions an engineer took from a datasheet and applies them to every later review instead of forgetting them.
The process around those checks is the interesting part. A problem that slipped past review becomes a rule, the rule gets its own regression test, and nothing ships until the full suite of 6,242 tests passes, along with mutation tests that confirm the tests would catch a broken rule. Every finding points to specific nets, pins, and copper shapes. When the tool proposes a change to the design, it shows a preview, waits for approval, reads the design back, and reviews it again, so a successful edit command is never taken as proof the board is right.
You don't need Boardwise to use the idea. The next time a defect reaches a built board, write it up as a check your design review runs automatically, in addition to the line in the postmortem. Most hardware teams have a few defects they've found more than once, and those are the place to start.
