## Welcome

Conformly.AI is an automotive compliance intelligence platform. It analyzes
your engineering work products against ASPICE 3.1, ISO 26262, and ISO 21434
and tells you exactly where your documentation falls short of audit
expectations — and how to fix it.

This guide is for the people who actually use Conformly day to day:

* **Engineers** uploading documents and reading findings
* **Functional Safety Managers** tracking audit readiness across products
* **Quality Directors** rolling up compliance status across programs
* **Consultants** managing multiple OEM clients in a single portfolio

If you're looking for installation, deployment, or API integration docs,
those live under [Backend API](/backend/overview), [API Reference](/api-reference/authentication),
and [Deployment](/deployment/production). This section is purely about how
to use the product itself.

## The five-minute mental model

Conformly is built around a simple loop:

<Steps>
  <Step title="Upload">
    Drag a PDF (or DOCX, XLSX, ReqIF, CSV) into Conformly. The platform
    auto-classifies it (system requirements? software architecture? test plan?)
    and suggests which standards to evaluate it against.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Analyze">
    Click Analyze. The AI pipeline parses the document, runs it through a
    LangGraph state machine of specialized auditors, and produces structured
    findings tied to specific clauses in specific standards.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Triage">
    Open the Findings page. Each finding has a severity (Critical / High /
    Medium / Low), a status workflow (Open → In Progress → Resolved → Accepted),
    a remediation recommendation, and a discussion thread for your team.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Track">
    Open Audit Readiness. See your overall compliance score, the
    blocking gaps that prevent an audit, the V-Model traceability coverage,
    and a projected "weeks to audit-ready" timeline based on your team's
    actual remediation velocity.
  </Step>
</Steps>

That's the core loop. But Conformly goes further — it generates the
fixes, tracks the resolution, and builds the evidence trail your
auditor demands. The rest of this guide covers every feature in
detail.
