Reliability predictions in minutes,
not weeks.
AI-driven BOM ingestion classifies every component, runs the handbook model, modernizes it with RAC 217Plus and ANSI/VITA 51.1, and lets your real life data override the estimate — a prediction that reflects the article you're actually building, not a 1990s table.
No spreadsheets. No transcription errors. Audit-ready by construction.
// λ_b 0.0017 — MIL-HDBK-217F Notice 2, p. 9-2 · triangulated ✓ handbook ✓ golden BOM ✓ oracle
From a three-week spreadsheet to a traceable prediction.
Reliability prediction today means manually classifying every line of a BOM, hunting π-factors across handbook tables, and praying the transcription was right. One wrong cell invalidates the report.
The manual way
- –Classify every component by hand
- –Look up π-factors table by table
- –One model — raw 217F, unmodernized
- –No record of where a number came from
With ReliabilitAI
- ›BOM classified and parameterized on ingest
- ›Modernized with RAC 217Plus + ANSI/VITA 51.1
- ›Four parallel scenarios, life-data corrected
- ›Every value traces to a handbook page
The 1990s handbook is your baseline — not your verdict.
Every part returns four parallel λ values. The raw handbook number is just one of them, kept for comparability. The number you ship reflects the article as built. Built for satellite reliability — the method generalizes to any domain.
As-built
217F + RAC + VITA where the part has known pedigree, then life-data corrected.
Theoretical cheapest
Every part forced to the floor grade for your domain. "What if we built it all from COTS?"
Theoretical max
Every part upgraded to the top grade for your domain + RAC modernization. The best-case bracket.
Raw 217F
Unmodernized MIL-HDBK-217F. The standard number another tool would give you.
S1 is the customer-facing number. S4 is what everyone else ships. Life data corrects S1–S3, never S4.
Theoretical brackets default to space/commercial grades — retarget them to your domain.
Three layers between the handbook and the truth.
Constant-failure-rate tables from the 1990s are a starting point. We treat them like one.
BaselineMIL-HDBK-217F Notice 2
The handbook model, computed exactly and cited to the page. This is the comparability number every reliability tool can reproduce.
ModernizeRAC 217Plus · ANSI/VITA 51.1
Updated failure-rate models and modern derating, applied where the part's pedigree warrants it — so a mil-spec or space-qualified part isn't penalized by a 30-year-old table.
Supersedeyour life data
Where you have vendor or field life data, observed reliability overrides the handbook estimate. Empirical evidence beats a generic prediction.
// Base engine is a swappable axis — Telcordia and FIDES in work. The scenario shape holds across engines.
Four steps from BOM to audit-ready report.
Upload the BOM
Drop in a BOM in any common format. Components are parsed line by line.
AI classification
Each part is identified by family and its parametric values extracted.
Run the scenarios
Four parallel models run — baseline, modernized, and life-data corrected — each citing its source.
Traceable output
Complete λ and MTBF per scenario, every number sourced, ready for audit.
An engineering tool, not a black box.
Built so the question "where did this number come from?" is always answerable.
217F, modernized — not frozen in 1995
MIL-HDBK-217F Notice 2 as the cited baseline, with RAC 217Plus and ANSI/VITA 51.1 modifiers composed on top. Telcordia and FIDES on the roadmap.
Every calculator triangulated against the handbook, a hand-verified golden BOM, and a VBA oracle. No single source is auto-trusted.
Observed beats estimated
Vendor and field data override the handbook where you have it.
Every π cites its page
Each factor carries a handbook citation in the output.
Tenant isolation & full audit log
Row-level security per tenant; every mutation written to an immutable audit trail.
Three independent checks. Any disagreement blocks the result.
Handbook citation
Every π-factor, formula and range cites its MIL-HDBK-217F page number.
Hand-verified golden BOM
Owner-calculated reference values, derived independently from the source.
VBA oracle
A read-only spreadsheet oracle cross-checks every computed value.
// resistor §9.1 — composition λ_b = 0.0017 // p. 9-2 π_T = 1.6 // T_amb 55°C, p. 9-3 π_S = 0.71 // stress 0.42, p. 9-3 π_P = 1.0 // 0.25W, p. 9-4 π_Q = 3.0 // non-ER, p. 9-4 π_E = 6.0 // G_F, p. 9-5 λ_p = 3.42 FITs // ✓ all three sources agree
