Monetize Your Engineering Expertise with TriDyme's Cloud Application Marketplace

Are you a structural engineer, energy consultant, or construction economist who has developed specialized calculation tools? What if you could transform your engineering expertise into a scalable cloud service without losing control of your intellectual property?

TriDyme's Cloud Application Marketplace enables technical professionals to publish, monetize, and integrate their proprietary calculation engines into modern AI-powered workflows—all while maintaining full ownership of their code.

The Challenge for Technical Developers

Many engineering professionals have developed valuable calculation tools over years of practice:

• Proprietary structural analysis algorithms
• Custom energy simulation models
• Specialized cost estimation engines
• Domain-specific design validation tools

However, traditional distribution models present significant challenges:

• Loss of IP control: Selling software often means giving up your source code
• Infrastructure costs: Hosting and scaling cloud services requires significant investment
• Limited reach: Finding clients requires extensive marketing efforts
• No AI integration: Modern workflows increasingly rely on AI orchestration

TriDyme's Solution: Your Code, Your Revenue, Our Platform

TriDyme provides a complete infrastructure for technical developers to commercialize their engineering applications without sacrificing ownership or control.

1. Keep Full Ownership of Your Code

Your application remains yours.

With TriDyme, you deploy your calculation engine as a cloud service while maintaining complete ownership:

• Your backend code runs on your infrastructure (Python, Node.js, or any language)
• TriDyme provides the frontend interface and API gateway
• You control updates, improvements, and access to your algorithms
• Your intellectual property is never shared or exposed

Example architecture:

User Request → TriDyme Platform → Your API Endpoint → Your Calculation Engine
                                     ↓
                                  Results returned

2. Simple Token-Based Monetization

You set the price, we handle the payments.

TriDyme uses a universal token system that makes pricing transparent and flexible:

• You define the token cost for each calculation (e.g., 2 tokens for a beam analysis, 5 tokens for a full structural audit)
• Users purchase subscription plans with token bundles
• You receive 80% of the revenue generated by your application
• Automatic monthly payouts via Stripe Connect
• No upfront costs, no hidden fees

Pricing examples:

• Simple calculation (< 2s execution): 1-2 tokens
• Standard analysis (2-10s): 3-5 tokens
• Complex simulation (10-30s): 6-10 tokens
• Heavy computation (> 30s): 12-20 tokens

TriDyme validates your proposed pricing based on computational complexity, ensuring fair value for both developers and users.

3. Dual Integration: APIs and MCP Servers

One of TriDyme's most powerful features is the ability to integrate your application into AI-driven workflows through two complementary methods:

API Integration (Direct Calls)

Traditional RESTful API integration for programmatic access:

# Your application exposes an API endpoint
POST /api/calculate/ec2-beam
{
  "length": 6.5,
  "load": 150,
  "concrete_class": "C30/37"
}

# Returns calculation results
{
  "reinforcement_required": "4φ20",
  "utilization_ratio": 0.87,
  "status": "pass"
}

Use cases:

• Direct integration into custom workflows
• Batch processing of multiple calculations
• Integration with existing company software

MCP Server Integration (AI-Orchestrated)

What is MCP (Model Context Protocol)?

MCP is an open protocol developed by Anthropic that enables Large Language Models (LLMs) to interact with external tools and data sources securely. Think of it as a standardized way for AI assistants to "call" your application.

How it works with TriDyme:

// Your application as an MCP Server
{
  "name": "ec2-beam-calculator",
  "description": "Structural analysis for concrete beams per Eurocode 2",
  "input_schema": {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
      "length": {"type": "number"},
      "load": {"type": "number"},
      "concrete_class": {"type": "string"}
    }
  }
}

In practice:

A user can simply tell Claude (or another LLM):

"Analyze this 6.5m concrete beam with a 150 kN load using C30/37 concrete"

Claude automatically:

1. Identifies your MCP Server as the appropriate tool
2. Calls your calculation engine with the correct parameters
3. Interprets the results and presents them to the user

Key Difference: APIs vs MCP Servers

Both methods are complementary: Expose your application as both an API and MCP Server to maximize reach—technical users call your API directly, while business users interact through AI assistants.

4. AI Workflow Integration Example

Here's how your application fits into a modern AI-powered engineering workflow:

Scenario: Automated Structural Design Review

1. User uploads architectural drawings (PDF)
2. AI extracts structural elements (beams, columns, loads)
3. For each beam:
   → AI calls YOUR "ec2-beam-calculator" MCP Server
   → Your application performs Eurocode 2 analysis
   → Results returned to AI
4. AI aggregates results:
   → Identifies non-compliant elements
   → Suggests design modifications
   → Generates comprehensive report
5. User receives actionable recommendations in seconds

Without TriDyme: You'd need to build the entire pipeline yourself—AI integration, payment processing, user management, infrastructure scaling.

With TriDyme: You focus on your calculation engine; we handle everything else.
