Build Faster.
Assure as You Go.

An engineering-grade safety mesh — from device signal to board-ready evidence. Interoperable, testable, and designed for change. See real-world implementation examples from our engineering practice.

Build Faster. Assure as You Go — Developer‑centric hero Autoplay sequence: terminal runs dcb CLI; CI pipeline flows through build, test, safety gate (spinner) to compliance export; evidence and safety card update live. Terminal — dcbcolab
$ dcbcolab safety test --engine=hazards --pathway=cardiac_rehab --env=test --report=junit
✔ consent: valid • ✔ fhir: pass • ⚠ hazards: 0 critical, 2 minor
artifact → ./assurance/hazards_report.junit.xml
$ dcbcolab compliance export --standard=dtac --out=./evidence/dtac_pack.pdf
                                
Run safety like unit tests; export evidence on demand.
Evidence & Safety (Live) DTAC Safety Case: Draft Hazard Log critical: 0 • open: 3 last scan: 5m ago Reports return as artifacts; safety cases stay current in production. Build faster with guardrails — CLI checks, gated pipelines, live evidence.

One mesh. Three perspectives.

A unified platform that speaks the language of strategy, delivery, and code.

Implementation & Tools

Strategy that ships

Platform-level assurance that scales with your architecture.

Today's Reality

Safety and governance handled late. Posture varies across Dev/Test/Live. Integrations drift from standards.

The Impact

Releases slow for reviews. Budgets absorb rework. Buyer confidence dips when evidence freshness is unclear.

Hidden Costs

Talent spends time on paperwork theatre instead of platform advancement. Risk lives in gaps between teams.

With Inference

Safety and governance become live platform capabilities — measurable, automatable, portable across environments.

Platform-Level Assurance

Live safety posture across all environments.

Technical Details

  • Live posture across Dev/Test/Live
  • Measurable SLOs for safety and governance
  • Portable between Trusts and clouds
  • Multi-site, offline-capable architecture

Interoperability by Design

FHIR-native with safe-write guards.

Architecture Benefits

  • FHIR at the edge via CareCube
  • Safe-write validation pre-commit
  • Schema-drift detection
  • Fewer brittle integrations

Predictable Cost Profile

Automated evidence, repeatable adoption.

Financial Impact

  • Automated evidence replaces bespoke docs
  • Fewer compliance overruns
  • Faster time-to-value
  • Repeatable Trust deployments

Trust adoption

Evidence in the backlog

Safety becomes work items and tests. Evidence generated continuously.

Current State

Evidence lives outside the backlog. Compliance gates arrive after features are built. Trust variation forces one-offs.

With Inference

Hazards tracked as stories. Acceptance criteria powered by Hazards Engine. Board-ready views reduce sign-off delay.

Evidence in the Backlog

Hazards and controls as trackable work items.

How it works

  • Hazards tracked as stories/tasks
  • Acceptance criteria from Hazards Engine
  • Auto-linked to release evidence

Reusable Assurance

Standards packs generated per release.

Benefits

  • DTAC/DCB/NICE packs auto-generated
  • Portable across sites with provenance
  • One-click evidence export

Adoption at Speed

Board-ready views reduce sign-off time.

Acceleration

  • Board dashboards reduce delays
  • Fewer custom artefacts per Trust
  • Buyer signals visible early

Evidence freshness

Compliance you can test

Make compliance queryable, testable, and auditable in your pipeline.

Current Pain

Compliance isn't testable like code. FHIR validation is brittle. Unsafe writes slip through. CI/CD can't gate on safety.

With DCB CoLab

Safety becomes code. FHIR validation at edge. Write guards pre-commit. Evidence on demand via CLI. This includes implementing AI safety controls and explainability frameworks directly in your development pipeline.

Safety as Code

Run hazard checks like unit tests.

Implementation

dcbcolab safety test
--pathway=cardiac_rehab
--env=test
--report=junit

Outputs JUnit for CI integration.

FHIR & Write Guards

Block unsafe writes pre-commit.

Validation

dcbcolab validate fhir
--bundle=admission.json

dcbcolab safety write-guard
--mode=precommit

Evidence on Demand

Export audit packs at any stage.

Export

dcbcolab compliance export
--standard=dcb0129_0160
--out=./evidence/pack.pdf

Generates DTAC-aligned evidence.

CLI in action

# Hazards Engine in CI
dcbcolab safety test --engine=hazards --pathway=cardiac_rehab --env=test --report=junit

# Output:
✓ 142 safety checks passed
⚠ 3 hazards identified
→ junit report: ./test-results/safety-cardiac_rehab.xml
# FHIR conformance + safe write
dcbcolab validate fhir --source=carecube --bundle=admission_update.json
dcbcolab safety write-guard --source=carecube --bundle=meds_admin.json --mode=precommit

# Output:
✓ FHIR R4 validation passed
✓ Write guard: safe to commit
→ Schema drift: 0 violations
# Evidence pack generation
dcbcolab compliance export --standard=dcb0129_0160 --out=./evidence/dcb_pack.pdf

# Output:
→ Gathering hazard logs...
→ Compiling mitigation evidence...
→ Generating DCB0129/0160 pack...
✓ Evidence pack exported: ./evidence/dcb_pack.pdf (142 pages)
