Summary

Adds IMPACT.md at the repo root — living log of adoption signals, citations,
talks, and outreach to the U.S. manufacturing community. Resolves #3 raised
by @ChiranjibSardar.

What changed

  • IMPACT.md (new, repo root) — sections for At a Glance, Adoption
    Signals, Citations and References, Talks and Presentations, Case Studies,
    Engagement Roadmap, How to Cite, How to Report Use
  • README.md — one line added after the badges linking to IMPACT.md;
    no substantive content modified

Design choices

  • Every empty section uses TBD — populated quarterly rather than invented
    data. The credibility of this file depends on it being honest.
  • At-a-Glance table seeded with confirmed current metrics: 11 stars, 8 forks,
    2 watchers
  • Issues count left as TBD (will be populated on first quarterly refresh)
  • Case studies cross-link to the existing docs/case_studies/ pages, which
    are already live on the docs site
  • Engagement Roadmap names specific outreach targets (NIST MEP regional
    centers, CESMII, MxD, ARM Institute, IIoT World, Hannover Messe USA,
    ARC Industry Forum)

Maintenance commitment

  • Quarterly refresh cadence (first of Mar / Jun / Sep / Dec)
  • Adoption table entries can be added by external contributors via PR or
    issue with the impact label

Closes

Closes #3

Creates IMPACT.md at repo root as a living, honest record of adoption
signals, citations, talks, and engagement roadmap. No fabricated
testimonials or organizations — empty tables use "TBD — populated
quarterly" placeholders. Seeded with confirmed GitHub stats (11 stars,
8 forks, 2 watchers) as of 2026-06-01.

Also adds a single Impact link line to README.md just below the badges,
pointing readers to IMPACT.md. No substantive README content changed.
