Description

:car: Business Value Proposition

Accelerates ISO 26262 compliance for automotive/industrial systems by automating safety analysis while maintaining rigorous audit standards.

:gear: How It Works

graph TD
    A[Engineer uploads<br>system description] --&gt; B(LLM identifies hazards)
    B --&gt; C(LLM scores risks per ISO 26262)
    C --&gt; D(Generates mitigation strategies)
    D --&gt; E(Produces audit-ready reports)

:chart_with_upwards_trend: Key Benefits

Time
- 50-70% faster than manual HAZOP/FMEA sessions
- Instant report generation vs. weeks of documentation
Risk Mitigation
- Pre-validated templates reduce human error
- Auto-generated traceability simplifies audits

:warning: Governance Controls

Human-in-the-loop: All LLM outputs require engineer sign-off
Version tracking: Full history of modifications
Audit mode: Export all decision rationales

:computer: Technical Requirements

Runs on existing n8n instances
Docker deployment (<1hr setup)
Integrates with JAMA/DOORS (optional)

:wrench: Setup and Usage

Prerequisites

Docker (Install Guide)
Docker Compose (Install Guide)
n8n instance (Free Self-Hosted or Cloud - Paid)
OpenAI API key (Get Key)

Enterprise-ready deployment: When supported by IT infrastructure teams, this solution transforms into a scalable AI safety assistant, providing real-time HARA guidance akin to engineering Co-pilot tools.

:warning: Validation & Limitations

AI-Assisted Analysis Considerations

Advantage	Mitigation Strategy	Implementation Example
Rapid hazard identification	Human validation layer	Manual review nodes in workflow
Consistent S/E/C scoring	Rule-based validation	ASIL-D → Redundancy check
Edge case coverage	Cross-reference with historical data	Integration with incident databases

Critical Validation Steps

AI Output Review node in n8n
Example: (by code)

{
  "type": "function",
  "parameters": {
    "functionCode": "if ($input.item.json.ASIL === 'D' && !$input.item.json.redundancy) throw new Error('ASIL D requires redundancy');"
  }
}

Version Control

Prompt versions tied to ISO standard editions (e.g., ISO26262:2018-v1.2)
Git-tracked changes to ai_models/training_data/

Audit trails

Providing a log structure for audit trails

# Log structure
/logs/
└── YYYY-MM-DD/
  ├── hazards_approved.log
  └── hazards_rejected.log
