Each module serves the decisions that matter at a specific device lifecycle stage. Each draws from and writes back to the Knowledge Graph. None operates alone.
Illustrative Example — Fictional device and data shown to demonstrate Behavior Labs platform capabilities.
The persistent intelligence layer beneath every module across the full device lifecycle. Design history files, regulatory precedents, supplier qualifications, field performance data — all connected, all compounding. When engineering teams turn over, institutional memory stays intact. Every design decision, every V&V result, every field corrective action preserved and queryable.
