Sherlock produces several outputs used in the designfollowing processoutputs:
* A reliability score –calculates– benchmarks the likelihoodrisk thatof athe productdesign willcompared performto reliablyindustry in thebest marketplace.practices
* Predicted performance over time –product– teamsallows canproduct useteams to help to project the profitabilityproduct of a productperformance over its lifecycle.
* A physical map of reliability issues –identifies the likely points of failure.
* A histogram – groups parts by degree of risk
* Design recommendations –provide solutions to identified problems for rapid resolution.
Sherlock incorporates stresses from a variety of environments into its physics-based prediction algorithms, including:
Sherlock performs a comprehensive assessment of potential wearout mechanisms from a variety of environments.
* Elevated Temperature
* Thermal Cycling
* Sinusoidal (Harmonic) Vibration
* Mechanical Shock
*Electrical stresses (voltage, current, power)

Sherlock Automated Design Analysis™ Version 1.0 launched in June 2010. Sherlock is Java based, web deployable, and uses a modular, open architecture which allows for expansion. Sherlock is third party validated.
