Bench & field validation
Structure validation so each phase retires specific risks - without false confidence.
How we approach Bench & field validation
Bench and field validation sequences connect test goals to hazards: what must be true before expanding ODD or increasing speed? We define gates with quantitative criteria.
Field trials include operational safeguards, incident response, and data capture standards so learning is compounding.
We align validation evidence with safety cases and customer acceptance milestones.

Evidence at every gate
Validation plans are living documents updated when risks shift.
- Test matrices mapped to hazard mitigations.
- Instrumentation and logging sufficient for post-incident analysis.
- Rollback criteria when new behaviors misbehave in the field.
