Federal directive · OMB M-25-21.

M-25-21 requires high-impact AI to be tested in a realistic context before deployment and re-evaluated over time. Proof means a documented, repeatable evaluation: a fixed probe set, recorded metrics, the conditions of the run, and a way for internal or external compliance to reproduce the result. Planisphere generates exactly that artifact — a bit-exact, reproducible fielded-fleet run with a sha-256-pinned, Merkle-rooted record a third party can recompute — which evidences the testing practice without certifying that the system is safe or compliant overall.
