Three navigation depths

Manufacturing & edge deployment depth (v1.0)

The sections below document safety-assurance layers for manufacturing, automotive, and edge AI deployments — technical depth under Layer 3 (Manufacturing AI Governance) and Layer 6 (Edge Infrastructure).

Executive summary

As AI moves from cloud to edge (vehicles, robots, cameras, medical devices), organizations face operational gaps: which model version runs where, who approved updates, how drift is detected, how compliance is proved to auditors, and how OTA updates maintain safety certification without full recertification every time.

Moat: Continuous Compliance + Delta Assessment + Deployment Assurance + Safety Reasoning (GSN graph).

The problem

Platform view (v1.0 — Layers 0–8)

Three runtime assurance layers

Layer 0 — Safety Program Management

Safety Program Layer
├─ Safety Plan
├─ Safety Organization
├─ Safety Roles
├─ Safety Milestones
├─ Supplier Obligations
├─ Certification Roadmap
└─ Safety Reviews

Every ISO 26262 audit starts here: Who owns safety? Who approved it? Who signs releases? Who approves waivers?

Layer 2.5 — AI Model Assurance

AI Model Assurance
├─ Dataset Registry
├─ Training Registry
├─ Evaluation Registry
├─ Bias Assessment
├─ Robustness Testing
├─ Adversarial Testing
├─ Explainability Evidence
├─ ODD Validation
└─ AI Risk Assessment

Layer 3 — Safety Case Graph (GSN moat)

Claim
 ├─ Hazard
 ├─ Requirement
 ├─ Test
 ├─ Evidence
 ├─ Waiver
 └─ Approval

Most tools store documents. This platform manages safety reasoning — argument structure preserved for impact analysis and audit export.

ISO 26262 gate engine

OTA compliance delta (key differentiator)

Traditional OTA often triggers full recertification. Delta assessment scopes re-verification to impacted gates.

Layer 6 — Runtime Safety Monitor

Runtime Safety Monitor
├─ Drift
├─ ODD Violations
├─ Sensor Health
├─ Confidence Degradation
├─ Safety Rule Violations
├─ Fallback Activation
└─ Safety Escalations

Where AIEdge becomes operational — not audit-only.

Layer 8 — Certification Workspace (executive view)

ISO 26262      91%
ISO 21434      84%
ASPICE         88%
EU AI Act      73%

Open Waivers    7
Open Gates      4
Release Risk    Medium
