Traceability that survives
DCMA, FAA, and
prime flowdown.

Aerospace and defense programs run on AS9100, MIL-STD, DO-178, and prime-contractor specifications — with traceability mandates that make every clause citation a deliverable. The Platform produces the audit trail that holds up to DCMA, FAA, and prime-flowdown scrutiny — with multi-tenant isolation for ITAR and controlled-program work.

The Challenge

In aerospace and defense, the audit trail isn't an artifact. It's the deliverable.

Programs are won and lost on traceability. Every requirement decomposes to a spec. Every spec decomposes to a verification. Every verification has a citation. The Platform produces the chain of citation that DCMA auditors, FAA reviewers, and prime contract managers expect — without putting your senior engineers on lookup duty.

01

Standards stack runs deep

AS9100 layered with customer-specific quality requirements (Boeing D6-82479, Lockheed APP-153, etc.), MIL-STDs for environmental and EMI, DO-178 for software, DO-254 for hardware, plus program-unique specifications.

02

Prime flowdown is brutal

A subcontractor on a prime program may inherit hundreds of clauses from the prime contractor's quality manual — overlaid on AS9100 base requirements. Tracking what applies to which deliverable is a full-time job for someone senior.

03

Traceability is non-negotiable

DCMA audits, FAA certifications, and DO-178 software reviews demand decomposition from program requirement to verification artifact, with citation at every level. Manual traceability matrices break under program scale.

04

ITAR & classification add complexity

Controlled program work demands tenant isolation, RBAC at clause level, and an audit trail that proves who saw what and when. Generic AI tools that send your data to shared models are non-starters.

05

Spec changes cascade

A revision to MIL-STD-810 or an addendum to AS9100 propagates across every program that references it. Knowing what changed, what it affects, and whether your existing artifacts still hold is a manual archaeology project.

06

Cost of a missed clause is in the contract

A missed clause that surfaces in a DCMA audit, a TINA review, or a prime customer surveillance visit isn't just an engineering finding — it's a contract risk. The audit trail must hold up.
