Mission Review Validation

DRIFT vs. a NASA review board

During the Landolt photometric calibration mission's SRR/MDR review, DRIFT was deployed against the full document corpus alongside the human review board. Outputs were compared against the board's eventual findings.

Concordance

DRIFT matched the human review board's findings at over 80% concordance and surfaced additional issues the team had not yet flagged.

Coverage

The Review Board Ingestion Module achieved an asymmetric coverage match rate of 81.2% across the full review corpus.

Mesh Validation

Distributed peer reasoning, edge hardware

Three Raspberry Pi nodes running independent DRIFT engines. Tested against trust failure scenarios where one node's data qualification status degrades and peer nodes must catch the failure before downstream consequences.

Catch Rate

100% catch rate on trust failure detection following the Data Qualification Register transition. Peer nodes consistently caught failures invisible to the originating node.

Detection Latency

2 second time-to-first-catch across the three-node mesh. Trust failures are surfaced before they propagate to dependent decisions.

Domain Independence

Same engine, different terrain

Eigenstructure analysis comparing DRIFT outputs across motorsport telemetry, NASA mission review documentation, and autonomous systems data. Tests whether the underlying decision-resistance structure transfers across domains with no shared vocabulary.

Layer topology comparison: Across the test corpora, layers L1 through L3 cluster statistically, while layers L4 and L5 cluster separately. The same separation holds across motorsport and mission review domains, supporting the domain-independence claim that DRIFT's resistance landscape generalizes beyond its training context.

Methodology Note

Detailed methodology, source documents, and validation procedures are available under NDA. DRIFT is a sealed engine; results presented here are output-side observable. The engine's internals are not disclosed.
