How it works

From repair event to signed evidence in five steps.

NADIR joins your repair timestamps with fleet telemetry, scores extrinsic alignment in shadow mode, surfaces a CRITICAL queue, and exports insurer-ready evidence. No ECU writes.

02 / DETAILS

Two ways to read this page

Plain language for fleet and investor conversations. Technical detail for engineering diligence.

For fleet maintenance leaders

After glass or body work, a vehicle can leave the shop with a green dashboard and still be misaligned.

NADIR watches the first days back on route using telematics you already export — without touching the ECU.

You get a short list of VINs to inspect and a signed record if an insurer or safety board asks what you knew and when.

  • Import repair orders with close timestamps.
  • Score vehicles in shadow mode — no dispatch automation.
  • Close the pilot on one number: MTTFF-RE within seven days.
03 / PREREQUISITES

What you need before kickoff.

A useful pilot starts with honest data contracts — not a 200-page integration spec.

Repair export: VIN, RO close time, procedure type (glass, front-end, mirror).

Telematics: JSONL or CSV with stable IDs, UTC timestamps, documented fields.

  • RO feedWeekly CSV or webhook
  • TelematicsExisting fleet export
  • LegalShadow-only LOI language
04 / GOVERNANCE

Shadow mode and product boundaries

Every public NADIR deployment starts advisory. These boundaries protect fleet legal teams and set honest expectations for insurers.

Shadow mode means NADIR scores telematics, assigns NOMINAL / CAUTION / CRITICAL tiers, and exports signed evidence — without writing calibration parameters to the vehicle.

Your maintenance team decides whether to pull a unit, schedule a bay recalibration, or return it to route. NADIR does not override OEM safety controllers.

This is intentional: post-repair detection pilots should prove alert quality before anyone discusses automation or correction paths.

  • Console CRITICAL rows are recommendations, not work orders.
  • Weekly digest emails summarize CAUTION trends without paging on-call at 2 a.m.
  • Sample EVBs document what the model saw — useful for QA, not a legal verdict.

05 / PILOT KPI

MTTFF-RE — the one pilot metric

Mean Time To First Flag after Repair Event. One number for pass, fail, or stop.

When a vehicle leaves a glass or body shop, start a clock at repair order close.

MTTFF-RE measures hours until NADIR assigns CAUTION or CRITICAL in the post-repair observation window.

If most events flag within seven days, your maintenance team gets actionable lead time before silent misalignment becomes a safety conversation.

  • Median MTTFF-RE ≤ 168 hours is the default pilot target.
  • Pass rate ≥ 70% of in-cohort events is the companion statistic.
  • Events without telemetry are excluded — never counted as passes.
06 / DATA CONTRACTS

Repair order ingestion

The RO close timestamp anchors post-repair scoring. Without it, MTTFF-RE is undefined.

VIN (17 char), RO identifier, close timestamp (UTC preferred), procedure category, and shop identifier.

Optional but valuable: part numbers for glass, ADAS kit replacement flag, technician notes.

NADIR validates identity before joining — malformed VINs land in a quarantine report, not silent scoring.

07 / INTEGRATION

Telematics ingest and schema validation

Signals you already export — validated before scoring.

VIN, UTC timestamp, speed, yaw rate, steering angle, forward radar lead distance if available, lane offset proxy if available.

Geotab, Samsara, Motive, and OEM exports differ — NADIR maps through adapter manifests.

Missing optional fields reduce confidence; missing required fields reject the batch row.

08 / DETECTION SCIENCE

Cross-modal residual scoring

How Pulse turns telematics into tiers after repair.

A green ADAS dashboard means self-check passed — not that alignment matches factory spec.

When camera lane proxy and radar range-rate disagree for days after glass work, that pattern elevates tier.

Single spikes from weather or harsh braking decay; persistence drives CAUTION and CRITICAL.

09 / EVIDENCE

Evidence bundles and verification

Tamper-evident records for QA, insurers, and safety boards.

Source frame hashes, ingest adapter version, model and policy IDs, tier transition, repair_event_id, operator ack metadata.

Canonical JSON serialization before HMAC-SHA256 signature.

Verification recomputes digest — integrity check, not ground-truth calibration proof.

12 / GLOSSARY

Shared vocabulary

Terms used across NADIR pilots, API docs, and readouts.

MTTFF-RE

Mean Time To First Flag after Repair Event — hours from RO close to first CAUTION+ tier.

RO closed Monday 6pm, first CAUTION Wednesday 2pm → MTTFF-RE = 44 hours.

Shadow mode

Advisory scoring and evidence export without ECU writes or automated dispatch.

Console shows CRITICAL; maintenance decides whether to pull the unit.

EVB

Evidence Vehicle Bundle — canonical signed JSON record of tier transition lineage.

Includes model_id, policy_id, frame hashes, repair_event_id.

Pulse tier

Low-latency residual scoring tier used in public shadow pilots.

Batch scoring within minutes of telematics upload.

Cross-modal residual

Disagreement metric between sensor modalities (e.g., camera lane vs radar range-rate).

Persistent elevation after glass repair triggers CAUTION.

RO close

Timestamp when repair order is marked complete — starts post-repair observation window.

Must be UTC with timezone documented in data contract.

Policy ID

Version identifier for tier threshold rules separate from model weights.

policy_post_repair_glass_v3.2

Quarantine batch

Ingest batch rejected for schema errors — not silently partially scored.

Clock regression rows excluded with explicit error report.

Exhibit A

Week-four pilot chart plotting MTTFF-RE per repair event.

Median line vs 168h threshold.

Coverage exclusion

Repair event omitted from KPI due to missing telematics — not counted as pass.

Listed in readout appendix with reason no_telemetry.

Reason codes

Machine-readable tags explaining why tier was assigned.

CAMERA_RADAR_DIVERGENCE, POST_REPAIR_PERSISTENCE.

Adapter manifest
