Frequently Asked Questions
Clear answers about what Field IQ does today, where it fits, and what a bounded evaluation requires.
What is Field IQ and when is it used?
Field IQ is a post-mission evaluation support layer for training, test, experimentation, and post-exercise review. It works after an event is complete, when the team has source material but still needs a coherent, evidence-linked starting point for review.
What data can the current evaluation use?
The current evaluation is best suited to supported, structured movement or location exports with timestamps from a completed event. Optional valid route or plan geometry enables plan comparison. Notes, playback, video, and other material may remain part of the human review environment but are not automatically direct inputs.
What does Field IQ produce from a completed event?
Field IQ can produce a recorded movement path, relative event sequence, supporting source and validation facts, visible limitations, and neutral plan comparison when a valid supplied route is available.
What happens when no valid plan or route is available?
Field IQ can still reconstruct supported recorded movement without a plan. Plan comparison is omitted rather than inferred. Invalid evidence fails validation, and unsupported geometry is not forced into a result.
Does Field IQ replace evaluators or existing systems?
No. Field IQ adds a structured, evidence-linked starting point to the post-event review workflow. The team remains responsible for interpretation and decisions.
Does Field IQ score performance or determine readiness?
No. Field IQ does not automate grading, issue pass or fail outcomes, determine readiness, assign fault, or replace human adjudication.
Is Field IQ used during live operations?
No. Field IQ is post-mission and read-only. It is not ISR, command-and-control software, live monitoring, real-time alerting, or operational decision support.
What do deterministic and traceable mean here?
For the same supported inputs, configuration, and version, the governed process produces the same supported result. Traceability means a reviewer can inspect the source-record, timing, file, and artifact basis behind that result.
What does a bounded evaluation involve?
A bounded evaluation uses one completed event, one supported structured export, and one real review workflow and question. A valid supplied route is optional when plan comparison is needed.
