Hegemi supports a fleet management use-case, where you build instances of an item, then operate them in-house, fixing issues that arise along the way. Such an operator gets functionality to manage the life of an instance after it's built:

Ability to notify others (e.g. repair technician) when a part on an instance has an issue
A natural place to record instance data during its lifetime (firmware updates, notes, etc), local to the individual parts
Tracked history of component sharing between instances (e.g. swapping a motor subassembly from one instance to another)

Repair technicians get:

Notifications when an existing instance needs a repair order
A place to record fixes, modifications, notes
A way to notify others when work has been completed

Everybody gets:

A dashboard with tagged tasks, notifications (purchase approval, instance issue notification, comment replies, etc), and starred items/orders/etc
