Validation

A convincing report is not enough. It must be auditable.

These are the standards Aevum Pet is being built to across sample handling, evidence, interpretation and veterinary boundaries.

01

Laboratory and sample quality

Partner sequencing workflows must document sample identity, coverage, quality thresholds and limitations before a result enters a report.

  • Target 30× whole-genome coverage
  • Sample and pipeline quality controls
  • Confirmation pathways for weighty findings
02

Species-specific evidence sources

Every interpretation records the dog or cat database, publication and version behind it; human evidence is not silently treated as pet evidence.

  • Species-specific evidence first
  • Breed and population limitations shown
  • Source version retained per report
03

Interpretation governance

Confidence rules separate established findings from emerging associations and research-only signals.

  • Explicit evidence tiers
  • No forced certainty from weak data
  • Re-review when meaningful evidence changes
04

Software and AI

Software may organise, connect and explain evidence. It does not create measurements or independently diagnose an animal.

  • Grounded in source data
  • Deterministic reported values
  • Model and interpretation versions recorded
05

Veterinary hand-off

Findings with possible care implications are framed for professional review, not converted into owner-directed treatment.

  • No prescribing or diagnosis
  • Confirmation where appropriate
  • Clear escalation and referral language

These are development standards, not claims of certifications, regulatory approvals, contracted partners or completed validations.
