Built on Evidence
Understand what has been shown, tested and validated.
One scale for every claim on this site, from concept to qualified operation, with the status of each piece of data shown beside it.
What we mean by evidence.
Evidence is what has been shown, under stated conditions, and kept so that someone else can check it. A description, a diagram or a confident tone is not evidence. This site uses one scale for every claim, and no page may say more than the level behind it.
Six levels, from concept to operation.
Each level says what exists and, just as plainly, what it does not yet establish. Today the platform core and two sensing projects stand at E1; the rest of the portfolio stands at E0.
- E0ConceptAn idea or a research direction. Nothing is specified or tested yet. It establishes only that the question is worth asking.
- E1Architecture DefinedA frozen architecture or specification exists and has been reviewed. It shows what the system is designed to do. It does not show that it does it.
- E2Prototype ValidatedBench, simulation or software-in-the-loop results exist. They show the design behaves as intended on prepared inputs. They do not show behaviour in a real environment.
- E3Integrated ValidationThe parts have been tested together, with hardware in the loop or as an integrated system. It does not yet show behaviour in the open, with real traffic.
- E4Controlled Field ValidationA controlled trial in a real environment, with conditions stated and records kept. It does not carry over to other places, seasons or loads.
- E5Qualified / OperationalQualified, or in operation, with records. It holds within the scope and conditions of that qualification, and no further.
| Stage | Value |
|---|---|
| E0 Concept | Reached |
| E1 Architecture Defined | Reached |
| E2 Prototype Validated | Not yet reached |
| E3 Integrated Validation | Not yet reached |
| E4 Controlled Field Validation | Not yet reached |
| E5 Qualified / Operational | Not yet reached |
Data status is a separate label.
The evidence level describes a project. The data status describes one picture, chart or number. Every visual on this site carries its status next to it, and today every one of them is illustrative or synthetic.
- IllustrativeDrawn to explain an idea. It uses no data at all.
- Synthetic dataGenerated by a model to show behaviour. It describes no real aircraft and no real place.
- SimulationOutput of a documented simulation run. It is as good as the model and the inputs behind it.
- MeasuredTaken from a real observation, with its conditions stated. No visual on this site is measured today.
The evidence register.
Every project, its level and the date it was last reviewed. Levels are set only by the evidence record, never by how finished a page looks. No evidence record has been published yet, so nothing here rests on one.

How we word a claim.
A claim is written to fit its level, with its scope and its limit in the same sentence.
- What we will sayWhat the system is designed to do, what has been shown and under which conditions, and what remains unknown. We use plain verbs and say "designed to" until the evidence says more.
- What we will not sayNo performance figure without a measured record. No claim of certainty, of an empty sky or of a safe one. No customer, certification or deployment that we cannot show.
Three rules for reading airspace.
They apply to the platform and to this site alike.
- Unknown is not zero, and zero is not safeAn empty display may mean nothing is there, or that nothing could be seen. A state must say which.
- Known then is not known nowA replay shows what was known at the time, not what we learned afterwards.
- Degradation lowers the claim before the polishWhen a source weakens, the claim gets weaker first. The picture must not look more certain than the data behind it.
Know what you are looking at.
A polished picture is not a validated one. Before reading any chart or scene on this site, check its data status badge. Synthetic and illustrative visuals teach how the system is designed to reason; they say nothing about how it performs.
Limits of this page.
What the register and the levels can and cannot tell you.
- A level is not a gradeA project at E0 may be well thought out. The level says how much has been shown, not how good the idea is.
- The register is a snapshotEach row shows the date it was last reviewed. A level changes only when a new evidence record is accepted.
- Evidence is not an endorsementNo level here is a certification, an award or an approval by any authority.
