Certification compliance matrix reviewA matrix entry without live evidence is a finding in waiting. We check every requirement against its means of compliance and flag what will Plan for Software Aspects of Certification (PSAC) reviewA weak PSAC sets up months of rework. We check your plan against the DO-178C objectives for your software level, lifecycle data included, anSoftware Accomplishment Summary (SAS) reviewThe SAS must report what the program did, not what the PSAC promised. We check every claim against the DO-178C objectives and return each onHardware Accomplishment Summary (HAS) reviewAt DO-254 closure the HAS has to reconcile with the PHAC. We check your hardware program claims against the evidence and flag each one that Structural-coverage evidence review for airborne softwareCoverage gaps can stall verification closure.
