SPDX 3.1's Functional Safety profile recently grew to model a safety case end to end: requirements and their refinement, verification, pass/fail evaluations, evidence, and assumptions of use. It standardizes how a safety case is exchanged, but not how one is produced, nor what a consumer does with one received. We demonstrate SEGkit, a prototype, open-source, project-agnostic engine that extracts a design and evidence graph from content repositories to recompute a verdict over the graph—a judgment recomputed from content, not merely recorded—and detects which evidence goes stale as code evolves; in this talk we also show how we plan to use it within Zephyr to automate safety evidence creation. This makes SEGkit interesting to projects maintaining their safety BOM as well as downstream users who want to work with one. For the latter case we argue a received BOM is best consumed as a contract—its requirements and evidence being guarantees and its assumptions the conditions the consumer must discharge against its own case. Lastly, we talk about what the profile might add for machine-checkable discharge: assumptions as checkable conditions, linked to the guarantees they constrain.
