Late satellite change validation

I am a space engineer working at the intersection of AI, satellite operations, and validation tooling.

At DLR, I am validating a spinout idea around late satellite change reviews: how proposed fixes become explicit claims, margin checks, rejected false paths, evidence gaps, and reviewer-ready decision packets.

The focus is not autonomous approval.
The goal is to help engineering teams structure difficult review moments where a payload, platform, supplier, or operations change touches coupled constraints such as power, thermal, mass, pointing, schedule, qualification, operations, or missing evidence.

At SmallSat Europe, I would like to meet builders, mission designers, payload teams, ground-segment operators, system engineers, and validation/test organizations.

I am especially interested in shadow-mode studies using historical or redacted cases: situations where a plausible fix looked acceptable at first, but later failed because the governing constraint or missing evidence was elsewhere.
