# Manufacturing research

Read the source before applying a generic limit. The typed process data stays in [process-profiles.yaml](https://github.com/Valpatel/cad-agent/blob/dev/docs/research/process-profiles.yaml), beside its [reference registry](https://github.com/Valpatel/cad-agent/blob/dev/docs/research/references.yaml).
