Nm Pensive Safety Critical Patternsv1.0.2

Apply NASA's Power of 10 rules to embedded medical device code that monitors patient vitals and administers therapy. The fixed loop bounds and no dynamic memory rules are critical for predictable real-time behavior and certification.

Use defensive assertions and return value checking to ensure atomic, correct fund transfers in a banking system. The assertion density rule helps catch data integrity violations early in development.

Implement restricted control flow and minimal variable scope in path planning algorithms where unbounded loops could cause safety hazards. The function size limit aids code review for verification.

Adapt the full rigor set of rules for avionics software that requires DO-178C certification. Enable all warnings and static analysis from day one to meet safety standards.

Apply selective rules like checking return values and parameter validation to protect against injection attacks and malformed requests. Assertions document invariants in critical data pipelines.

Offer third-party code review and certification prep for companies needing to comply with safety standards like ISO 26262 or IEC 62304. Revenue comes from per-project audits or subscription-based continuous review.

Deliver hands-on workshops teaching NASA-inspired coding patterns to engineering teams. Generate revenue through corporate training contracts and public workshop tickets.

Build or extend linters and static analyzers that automatically check compliance with the 10 rules. Revenue from licensing the tool or offering it as a SaaS add-on for CI/CD pipelines.
