Fara covers what design assurance actually audits: requirements that were examined instead of assumed, a board and firmware that trace to them, and verification evidence that was executed instead of asserted. The audit trail isn't a bolt-on or an end-of-program scramble. It's how the tools work.
Tool presence sensed on all 7 pockets
Divider on the 24 V domain · 100 Hz poll
Designed in words, then wires
Traced in source; test-first
ERC, computed checks, tests + coverage
In most programs, traceability is reconstructed at the end — expensive, error-prone, and hated. In Fara it's the architecture: the same links the AI needs to reason about your system are the links an examiner wants to see. Change a requirement and the affected work — and only the affected work — flags for review, on both legs of the V.
On the hardware leg: DAL-aware records, IPC Class 3 rule-sets, and evidence shaped for what your DER expects. On the software leg: low-level requirements, an SDD, and structural coverage measured by tooling — MC/DC at DAL A — with a gate that refuses a coverage claim the toolchain can't actually measure. Our posture is certifiable, not certified: you own the certificate, we make the evidence cheap.
| DAL A | Catastrophic | |
| DAL B | Hazardous | |
| DAL C | Major | |
| DAL D | Minor | |
| DAL E | No effect |
Design data is never used to train any model. Full stop.
Independent audit planned as we exit early access. We don't claim it before it's done.
Certified US-cloud (GovCloud-class) options for controlled work.
Self-hosted deployment for ITAR programs, after certified cloud.
Fully air-gapped, self-hosted deployment is on our roadmap, not shipping today — so we're upfront: Fara currently runs in a secure US cloud on frontier models, and certified US-based cloud infrastructure (GovCloud-class) is the first rung we support for controlled programs. Local models come later, when they're good enough that we're not shipping a degraded product. We fit commercial and civil aerospace, non-classified defense programs, and controlled US-cloud work right now. If you have a specific compliance boundary, let's map it together.
Rule-sets and evidence keyed to the standards your program answers to — with more packs on the way.
The traceability spine is always there — but it stays out of the way until you switch it on. The same tool that runs a robotics prototype with zero overhead runs your airborne program with full assurance. Teams grow up the reliability ladder without changing tools.
Tell us your program, standards, and deployment constraints — we'll show you exactly where Fara fits, and where it doesn't yet.
