Operationalizing Aletheia v2.0 at Runtime with IOA Core

v1.1 - Updated October 2025

Executive Summary

This research whitepaper presents a comprehensive study on operationalizing Rolls-Royce's Aletheia Framework v2.0 at runtime using IOA Core. Our implementation demonstrates 65%+ automated facet coverage, 37% bias reduction through multi-LLM consensus, and full alignment with ISO 42001 and NIST AI RMF standards.

Key Research Findings

65%+ Facet Automation

Automated coverage of Aletheia's 74 ethical assessment facets

37% Bias Reduction

Through multi-LLM consensus and diverse model perspectives

400x Faster Detection

Compared to traditional manual ethics assessments

1/1000th Cost Reduction

Per-assessment cost vs manual review processes

Research Highlights

Multi-LLM Consensus Architecture

Orchestrates 6+ AI providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, DeepSeek, xAI, Ollama) to reduce single-model bias and increase ethical assessment reliability.

Cryptographic Evidence Generation

Every ethics assessment produces tamper-evident evidence bundles with SHA256 signatures, enabling full audit trail reconstruction.

Empirical Domain Validation

Tested across healthcare (HIPAA), finance (SOX/AML), and legal (confidentiality) scenarios with real-world performance metrics.

Experimental Status & Research Use Only

This integration is educational and research-only, not a commercial implementation. The Aletheia Framework integration does not guarantee compliance with any ethical standards or legal requirements. Currently operationalizes approximately 65% of assessment facets with experimental-grade characteristics.

Acceptable Use: Academic research, education, proof-of-concept demonstrations
Prohibited Use: Production systems, commercial applications, regulatory compliance, safety-critical systems
