The 7-Stage Evidence Hierarchy

Grafion Labs operates on a strict verification hierarchy where research hypotheses and engineering targets are never conflated with accomplished results.

01. Concept
A theoretical proposal or design objective formulated in planning documents.
Grafion Standard:Labeled transparently as ambition; never claimed as functional.
02. Hypothesis
A testable assertion with defined input, expected output, and falsification criteria.
Grafion Standard:Pre-registered in our experiment catalog before allocating engineering time.
03. Research
Literature synthesis, memory simulation, and theoretical mathematical modeling.
Grafion Standard:Preserves open citations; unconfirmed inquiries marked as exploratory.
04. Testing
Empirical code execution, memory simulation, and bench testing in private lab.
Grafion Standard:Requires raw telemetry logs; failed tests documented as findings.
05. Demonstrated
Reproducible execution in internal development workloops under supervision.
Grafion Standard:Must pass predefined automated test suites and error criteria.
06. Verified
External third-party replication, certified lab testing (CE/EMC), or audited benchmarks.
Grafion Standard:Requires formal test reports from accredited institutions.
07. Production
Manufacturing yield verified, warranty reserve funded, and compliant for EU sale.
Grafion Standard:Zero customer preorders accepted until Stage 7 is fully validated.
