Developer docs · OEM program readiness

From RFQ intent to field evidence—without skipping the hard decisions.

Use one public readiness baseline to declare vehicle and market scope, control seven lifecycle exits, verify nine behavior domains, allocate eight standards families and operate seven measurable service domains across SaaS, applications, firmware and hardware.

Eight dimensions make the program testable.

Declare these before comparing solution fit, effort, timing or evidence. Unknowns remain visible; assumptions get an owner and expiry.

Seven accountable exits from qualification through end-of-life.

A milestone advances only when its artifacts exist, deviations are owned and the stop condition is cleared.

OEM program workshop

Freeze readiness before feature integration.

Bring the vehicle, territory, surfaces, deployment and lifecycle assumptions. Leave with allocated verification, standards and operational evidence.
