The whole V,
with the traceability built in.

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.

The traceability spine

Design assurance, as a byproduct.

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.

  • System requirement → discipline requirement → design → test, linked both ways.
  • Immutable, attributed history = configuration-management evidence.
  • Trace matrices and specs rendered from the data, never maintained by hand.

Built for Design Assurance Levels. Both legs.

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–E aware records on the hardware side.
  • Executed tests + measured coverage per requirement on the software side.
  • No AI in the verification chain — a clean tool-qualification story by construction.

IP & deployment

Your program's data, protected on the record.

◆ No training
Never on your data

Design data is never used to train any model. Full stop.

◆ Roadmap
SOC 2 Type II

Independent audit planned as we exit early access. We don't claim it before it's done.

◆ Residency
US data residency

Certified US-cloud (GovCloud-class) options for controlled work.

◆ Roadmap
On-prem & air-gap

Self-hosted deployment for ITAR programs, after certified cloud.

Straight talk on ITAR & air-gap

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.

Standards

Speaks the language of regulated hardware.

Rule-sets and evidence keyed to the standards your program answers to — with more packs on the way.

One platform, compliance optional

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.
