Your team owns the product facts and risk decision. Q-Forge structures the evidence, exposes what is missing, and turns the review into an actionable roadmap.
Missing evidence creates a visible investigation action. It never becomes an optimistic default.
Customer input: Product family, variants, baselines, cohorts, markets, owners, obligations, horizon, and deadline.
Q-Forge produces: A written scope, exclusions, ownership map, source register, and coverage gaps.
Reviewer: Customer product owner and security lead.
Stage output: Accepted scope and success criteria.
Customer input: Authorized records for identity, communications, secure boot, signing, provisioning, certificates, libraries, and suppliers.
Q-Forge produces: A variant-linked inventory with source and confidence for every recorded use.
Reviewer: Product security and implementation owners.
Stage output: Reviewed inventory and explicit gap list.
Customer input: Hardware resources, power, timing, network, boot, update, secure component, lifecycle, certification, and supplier constraints.
Q-Forge produces: A constraint profile linked to each relevant hardware and firmware variant.
Reviewer: Embedded, systems, lifecycle, and compliance specialists.
Stage output: Approved feasibility boundary.
Customer input: Architecture objectives, supported dependencies, transition preferences, threat assumptions, and acceptable operational tradeoffs.
Q-Forge produces: Named candidates with exact profiles, assumptions, compatibility questions, rejected options, and acceptance criteria.
Reviewer: Security architect, embedded lead, and affected suppliers.
Stage output: Agreed candidate and test plan.
Customer input: Authorized test results, supplier material, build and target context, or approved access to qualified testing resources.
Q-Forge produces: An evidence register showing target relevance, method, source, date, result, limitations, and grade A–D.
Reviewer: Qualified technical reviewer. DeviceLab records results; it does not run lab tests by itself.
Stage output: Reviewed evidence and unresolved-question plan.
Customer input: Decision authority, risk tolerance, budget and lifecycle context, implementation ownership, and deadline.
Q-Forge produces: An explainable suggestion, alternatives, rationale, residual risks, triggers, and dated roadmap.
Reviewer: Named customer decision owner and required engineering, security, safety, legal, or compliance authorities.
Stage output: Upgrade, redesign, replace, retire, or investigate decision plus roadmap.
Grade C or D evidence can guide investigation. It cannot be presented as production validation.
Measured on representative production hardware and software with reproducible artifacts.
Measured on an engineering-equivalent target with documented differences.
Supplier, library, or reference-platform evidence not reproduced on the target.
Assumption, estimate, or unverified stakeholder statement.
A DeviceLab status is decision support, not a security guarantee or certification.
Create your workspace and begin immediately with synthetic data or an approved product boundary.
