Automated Dependency Mapping
Next-Generation System Risk Intelligence.
Automated Dependency Mapping (ADM) in the MADE platform transforms how failure behavior is understood in complex systems. Instead of relying on manual definitions or simplified diagrams, ADM automatically generates interdependent failure pathways, linking functional and physical failures through dynamic risk simulations. As the analytical backbone of the Digital Risk Twin (DRT), ADM provides a high-fidelity view of system vulnerabilities and cascading effects, tracing each failure from cause to end effect, offering insights beyond traditional RAMS methods which can only identify Local, Next and End effects.

See What Others Can't - MADE Maps Every Step of Failure

Where Dependency Mapping Delivers Advanatges
Turning Complex Failure Chains into Actionable Intelligence
Improves Risk Visibility
Going beyond standard Local, Next & End Effect, MADE's ADM visually displays every step of a failure.
Improves Traceability
Once every step in a failure propogation is identified a step table is available so you can trace every failure to its cause.
Failure Visualization
The ADM process visually displays (maps) the failure path across the Digital Risk twin in real-time.
Faster Failure Analysis
The automated mapping is driven by the functionlity and rules created in the Digital Risk Twin which can be generated through a single click.
Future-proofs Process
Domain knolwedged capture embeds failure analysis into models, which can be reused across programs, reducing learning curves and errors in future projects.
improve Design Optimization
Reveal hidden vulnerabilites, better support risk trade-offs and improve mitigation strategies becuase of better undwerstanding of intervention points.
Reduce Human Error
Failure propogation is generated autonomosly from the Digital Risk Twin, reducing assessment errors otherwise injected through manual creation of failure insights.
Better Team Collaboration
With the failure knowledge captured and centralized in a Digital Risk Twin teams in projects are drawing on the same source of data.
Design Iteration Ready
Your team can easily and efficiently produce analysis to assess design iteration impacts without a lengthy manual process.
Unlocking Digital RAMS

Standards Support | ARP4761A, FMEA, MPD | Partial or non-compliant outputs |
System Linkage | Connects logical and physical models | Disconnected or siloed models |
Mission & Environment | Built-in profile & loading effects | Often ignored or approximated |
Change Impact | Auto-propagated across the model | Manual updates required |
Traceability | Integrated in Digital Risk Twin | Limited or non-existent |
Scalability | Supports large systems with reusable libraries | Challenging, high effort to maintain |
Efficiency | Fast, repeatable workflows | Time-consuming and inconsistent |
