The Artifact Package, Delivered.
When you need finished certification data rather than more people to manage, we scope the work, staff the team, and run it to a statement of work under practicing FAA DER oversight.
You Own the Outcome. We Own the Work.
A Deliverable, Not a Headcount
You buy a defined artifact package with acceptance criteria. Staffing, supervision, and schedule are ours to manage.
DER Technical Oversight
The work is directed and reviewed by a practicing FAA DER who knows what an authority will ask for at each SOI.
One Accountable Lead
A single Aries technical lead owns the plan, the team, and the status reporting to your program.
Scales With the Program
Ramp the team for a verification push or audit window and back down when the artifacts close.

From Scope to Handoff
- 01
Evaluate the need
We review the certification basis, DALs, current artifact state, and where you sit in the SOI sequence.
- 02
Scope the deliverables
We define the artifact list, acceptance criteria, review gates, and the inputs we need from your team.
- 03
Propose the team and schedule
You get a written statement of work: team composition, milestones, and how progress will be reported.
- 04
Staff and execute
Aries engineers — our W-2 employees — do the work, on-site or remote, under one technical lead.
- 05
DER review and handoff
Deliverables go through DER technical review before handoff, so they arrive ready for your audit or submittal.
