Technical evidence review and approval

HERA Nexus

Reviewed 2026-07-15

The approval record for engineering decisions made with AI: recommendations stay attached to their sources and route to the person who holds the decision right.

Intended use

  • Assembling decision packets for engineering changes, material substitutions and non-conformance dispositions
  • Routing AI-assisted recommendations to named human approvers with escalation and override paths
  • Producing an approval record a change board, reviewer or auditor can follow

Out of scope

  • Making or executing consequential decisions without a named human approver
  • Replacing certification, airworthiness or regulatory sign-off
  • Claims of validated accuracy, time savings or customer outcomes

Training data

HERA Nexus does not train a proprietary model. It orchestrates third-party language models over evidence supplied by the deploying organization; no customer data is used for training.

Evaluation

Evidence traceability on consequential outputs

Target: 100% in the prototype; external evaluation pending

Approval and override path coverage

Target: 100% of consequential actions; external evaluation pending

Design-partner workflow outcome

Not independently validated

Security attestation

Not obtained or claimed

Known limitations

  • Recommendation quality depends on the underlying model and the evidence supplied; HERA Nexus records uncertainty but does not remove it.
  • Validated with one design-partner workflow only; no paid pilot or production deployment is claimed.

Safety and responsible use

  • Every consequential output requires an accountable human owner before action.
  • Decision packets record sources, assumptions, alternatives, unresolved questions and final disposition.
