AI Assurance for Mission-Critical Systems.

Aplark™ builds mission-critical intelligence infrastructure for defence, aerospace, space and autonomous systems.

Our first product, Aplark Assure, systematically evaluates AI across operating conditions, identifies evidence gaps and creates traceable evidence for deployment decisions.

The problem

AI is moving from screens into the physical world.

Mission-critical AI is evaluated on benchmark accuracy. Accuracy is not readiness. A held-out test score describes how a model performed on a sample somebody chose; it does not describe the operational domain, it does not account for the correlation between the samples inside it, and it says nothing at all about the conditions that actually drive risk — degraded sensing, adversarial geometry, the tail of the latency distribution.

These systems operate under uncertainty, in degraded conditions, against adversaries who are choosing the inputs. The question a certification authority asks is not how well the model scored. It is what residual failure rate you can demonstrate, at what confidence, over which declared operational domain, with what evidence.

The fact nobody sells against

Testing alone cannot establish extremely low failure probabilities for learned components when the required evidence exceeds practical test budgets.

What can be done is to state the shortfall honestly, quantify it in orders of magnitude, and move the argument to where it can actually be carried: the architectural mitigation chain, or a restricted operational domain. Aplark Assure is built to say that out loud, on day one, before the GPU time is spent.

Aplark Assure

AI assurance and evaluation

Know how your AI fails before it matters.

Aplark Assure generates, preserves, evaluates, traces and independently verifies the evidence that demonstrates a safety- or mission-critical AI system satisfies its defined requirements. It is the only Aplark product available today.

It does not certify models. It does not score models. It does not make models safer. It makes the evidence about them auditable — and it tells you, before you spend the test budget, when the thing you are trying to demonstrate cannot be demonstrated at all.

How Assure works

Nine stages, from a declared operating domain to a signed deployment decision.

  1. 01Define

    Programme, item, ODD, hazards, requirements, mitigation chain and exposure weights. Produces a residual rate per hazard.

  2. 02Test

    Campaign scoped to target cells, executed deterministically at a declared reproducibility class.

  3. 03Capture

    Artefacts hashed, environment fingerprinted, records appended to the signed ledger.

  4. 04Verify

    Inclusion and consistency proofs, on-demand replay, and offline verification of the exported bundle.

  5. 05Assess

    Sufficiency computed on effective samples. Six-dimension readiness at a named criticality level.

  6. 06Explain gaps

    What is missing, what it blocks, and what it costs to close. This is the home screen.

  7. 07Build assurance case

    GSN argument, explicit defeater register, evidence bound to claims.

  8. 08Generate dossier

    A deterministic, provenance-linted certification package. Two generations, identical digest.

  9. 09Gate deployment

    Policy evaluated against readiness and edge conformance for a specific artefact digest, offline, producing a signed decision.

This gap cannot be closed by additional testing.

Actions: strengthen the architectural mitigation chain, or restrict the declared ODD.

This gap has no testing-based action. See above.

The platform

One intelligence core, one evidence record.

The Aplark platform is organised around a single principle: the layer that records evidence must never be the layer that produces the thing being evidenced.

Aplark Assure is available today. Every other node on this diagram is a roadmap direction — each links to a page that says so plainly.

The name

Six capabilities an intelligent system needs before anyone should trust it with a decision.

  1. AAdaptiveContinuously adapts to change.
  2. PPerceptionUnderstands the world through data.
  3. LLearningLearns from data and experience.
  4. AAutonomyMoves toward intelligent autonomy.
  5. RReasoningUnderstands, predicts and decides.
  6. KKnowledgeBuilds persistent operational knowledge.

The future platform

What comes after Assure.

Aplark Assure is the only product shipping today. Everything below is direction, not availability — none of it is purchasable, and none of it is described here as though it already works. Registering interest puts you on the briefing list for the product concerned.

Sectors

Where mission-critical means what it says.

Defence

  • AI assurance
  • Simulation
  • Edge intelligence

Systems that must work when the operating picture is degraded on purpose.

Aerospace

Air-gapped by construction.

Aplark Assure is designed for machines that have never had a route to the internet, because that is every machine it will ever run on.

  • No telemetry

    Nothing about your programme is reported back to us. Ever.

  • No licence callback

    The installation does not phone home to validate itself.

  • No CDN

    Every asset is bundled locally. No web font, no icon set, no script.

  • No outbound connection

    Under any configuration. There is no flag that turns one on.

This site holds itself to the same standard: it makes no third-party browser request of any kind, and a test in our build pipeline fails if one ever appears.

Know how your AI fails before it matters.

A working session with your programme, your hazards and your evidence — not a slide deck.
