FAQ

Foresight is a safety analysis suite. It brings the STAMP family of methods (STPA for prospective analysis, CAST for retrospective causal analysis) together with FTA, FHA, Bow-Tie, and FMECA in one product, with each method as a first-class, purpose-built tool, so safety teams stop stitching together disconnected spreadsheets, diagramming tools, and incident trackers.

Component-focused methods like FTA, FHA, Bow-Tie, and FMECA give rigorous treatment of component reliability, failure modes, and barrier effectiveness, and regulators in aviation, medical devices, automotive, and defense still require them. STAMP/STPA covers what those methods were not designed for: software behavior, automation authority, human decision-making, and organizational influences. Foresight gives you all of these methods in one suite so your team isn't choosing between tools.

Most safety teams already use several methods: STPA or CAST for systems-theoretic and causal analysis, FTA/FHA/Bow-Tie/FMECA for the component-focused work regulators require. Foresight covers all of them in one suite with consistent UX, project structure, reporting, and audit trails, so the team isn't context-switching across tools that were never designed to work together.

AI and software controllers are first-class objects in the control-structure model. Capabilities include pre-deployment behavior analysis, post-deployment drift assessment, alignment between intended and actual behavior, latency and feedback-delay analysis, and security-informed safety analysis where adversarial action is in scope.

Foresight is cross-domain by design. Today we focus on aviation and advanced air mobility, defense and autonomous systems, healthcare and medical technology, industrial and energy, AI governance, maritime/rail, and insurance/legal. Reporting formats and regulatory references are configured per domain (FAA, EASA, FDA, NRC, military, and industrial regimes).

Both. Foresight supports three engagement models: expert-led (our analysts conduct the analysis and deliver findings), customer-led platform (your team uses the software with our training), and a hybrid model where we establish the analysis architecture and coach your team through execution. Best fit depends on the consequence level of the program and your existing safety capability.

Audit-ready outputs include the safety-analysis plan and scope, loss/hazard/constraint registers, the control-structure model, unsafe control action and causal scenario tables, FHA worksheets with severity classifications, fault trees and cut-set summaries, Bow-Tie diagrams with barrier ownership, FMECA worksheets, the integrated requirements/verification traceability matrix, an assumption register with evidence sources, and engineering, executive, and regulator-facing report packages, with controlled handling of sensitive analytical detail.
