USE CASES

Where this instrument fits.

  • Review sensor-fusion assumptions
  • Find consistency gaps before field tests
  • Plan monitoring for degraded sensing
  • Prepare evidence for autonomy safety cases
INPUTS

Required input fields.

  • Sensor diversity (required): Single sensor, Two sensor classes, Multi-sensor stack
  • Calibration state (required): Weak or unknown, Partial, Strong and evidenced
  • Time synchronization (required): Weak or unknown, Partial, Strong and evidenced
  • Uncertainty propagation (required): Weak or unknown, Partial, Strong and evidenced
  • Fallback behavior (required): Weak or unknown, Partial, Strong and evidenced
  • Runtime monitoring (required): Weak or unknown, Partial, Strong and evidenced

Data handling: this interface uses the L2ET protected same-origin instrument engine. Do not enter confidential, regulated, privileged, incident, medical or sensitive operational data.

METHOD

Evidence Matrix logic.

Maps sensor diversity, calibration, synchronization, uncertainty, fallback and monitoring into consistency warnings.

Assumptions

  • Real fusion quality requires data and tests.
  • Sensor correlations may not be independent.
  • Runtime conditions may differ.
