Ark Axiom review-compression evidence, packet boundaries, and public samples.
Ark Axiom reduces the first-pass review surface for RTL, PCB/BOM, fab-package, and firmware-to-board artifact sets. This brief summarizes what the evidence packets show, what they do not claim, and where reviewers can inspect public sample outputs.
Review surface reduction before senior engineering inspection.
Compression means reducing the review surface: fewer files, signals, nets, regions, assumptions, and missing-evidence items for senior engineers to inspect first.
| Track | Evidence packet output | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| RTL Review Witness | Changed cones, ranked signals, repair-region overlap notes, replay commands, and artifact hashes. | Not whole-chip correctness, formal closure, or proof that ignored regions are safe. |
| PCB ECO Gate | Board/BOM revision regions, ranked blockers, route/power/debug/boot evidence requests, and visual packet links. | Not PCB signoff, DRC/ERC replacement, SI/PI validation, or manufacturability certification. |
| Fab Readiness Gate | Fab-package completeness checks and missing-evidence blockers before package handoff. | Not DFM approval, fabrication approval, or production release. |
| Firmware-Hardware Gate | Firmware assumptions compared against board evidence: MCU, GPIO, buses, boot/reset/debug, logs, and missing validation signals. | Not firmware correctness, HIL testing, board bring-up success, or firmware release approval. |
