Workspace · Tomco Bench

The agentic workspace for safety-critical programs.

The shared surface where AFSPs, your team, and Tomco AI agents work the same artifacts. Every action lands in a hash-chained evidence chain — purpose-built for ISO 26262, DO-178C, ISO/SAE 21434, and UL 4600 programs.

Why Bench exists

Built to replace email + SharePoint on safety programs.

Email-and-SharePoint sprawl is what drags safety programs off-schedule. Bench replaces it with a single workspace where AFSPs run reviews, agents draft and refine, and clients see the same evidence trail their auditor will.

Capabilities · Four surfaces

Four surfaces, one evidence chain.

Bench is opinionated: every action ties back to an artifact, a decision, and an auditable provenance trail.

ChatSurface · conversation

Project chat with AFSPs and agents

A shared conversation surface where AFSPs, your team, and Tomco AI agents work the same artifacts — every message linked to a task, decision, or work product.

What's inside
  • Threaded chat per project and subsystem
  • Pinned decisions with justification
  • Inline references to artifacts, tasks, and decisions
  • Agent participation with full provenance

AI agents under AFSP supervision

Tomco AI agents draft, review, and trace artifacts across functional safety, cyber, and AI-assurance work — every action captured in the evidence chain and authorized by an AFSP.

What's inside
  • Drafting agents for HARA, TARA, FSC, and TSC
  • Review agents for trace, coverage, and consistency
  • Search agents over project artifacts and standards
  • Strict authorization — no autonomous artifact edits

Versioned safety artifacts

Every safety artifact lives in Bench with versions, approvals, and a hash-chained evidence link — so the assessor sees exactly what your team approved and when.

What's inside
  • Artifact catalog (HARA, FSC, TSC, TARA, etc.)
  • Version history with change notes and approver
  • Hash-chained evidence link per version
  • Subsystem and discipline scoping

Evidence chain for the assessor

Every action in Bench — chat, agent draft, artifact change, decision — lands in an immutable evidence log that auditors and assessors can trace end-to-end.

What's inside
  • Append-only evidence log with hash chaining
  • Decision register linked to artifacts and tasks
  • Per-engagement export pack for assessors
  • Provenance for every agent and human action

The Bench playbook

How a Bench engagement runs.

From provisioning to handoff, the Bench engagement model mirrors how Tomco runs safety programs in the real world.

01
Provision

Tomco provisions a Bench workspace for your engagement — disciplines, subsystems, and AFSPs scoped to your standards stack.

02
Onboard

Your team joins as client members, the AFSP is installed as program lead, and the agent set is calibrated to your standard.

03
Operate

Daily work happens in Bench — chat, drafting, reviews, and decisions — with everything landing in the evidence chain.

04
Hand off

At the end of the engagement, Tomco hands off a complete export pack — artifacts, decisions, and the full evidence log — to your team and your assessor.
