DO-178C Traceability: Deterministic Verification in a Probabilistic Age

A flight management system. DAL-A — catastrophic failure condition. Every high-level requirement must trace to a test. Every test must trace back to a requirement. Every condition in every decision must be shown to independently affect the outcome. The FAA doesn't accept "probably correct." They accept "provably correct." And this is where the separation between what AI generates and what scripts verify stops being an architectural preference and becomes a certification necessity.

ISO 26262 ASIL-D Without the Overhead: V-Model Meets AI

An Autonomous Emergency Braking system. ASIL-D — the highest automotive safety integrity level. The kind of system where a software defect can mean a fatality. Traditionally, teams building ASIL-D systems spend four to six months producing documentation before writing a single line of production code: safety requirements, FMEA registers, architecture descriptions, test plans at every level, bidirectional traceability matrices, and the structural coverage analysis to tie it all together. With spec-driven development and the V-Model Extension Pack, the same evidence package — structurally complete, deterministically verified, and audit-ready — is produced in a fraction of that time.

From Requirement to Release: IEC 62304 Compliance at AI Speed

A Class C medical device. IEC 62304 mandates deliverables across 11 clauses — requirements, architecture, detailed design, unit verification, integration testing, system testing, risk management, traceability, and release documentation. The traditional approach: assemble a cross-functional team, spend four to six months producing Word documents and Excel spreadsheets, and hope nothing changed between the first deliverable and the last. The spec-driven approach: generate every artifact from a single specification, verify coverage deterministically, and produce an audit-ready package in a single sprint. Same artifacts. Same rigor. Fundamentally different economics.
