These individual life curves are then summed to provide a physics-based reliability curve for the overall product. Sherlock also provides design rule checks (DRC) for board-level design (schematic and layout) and an overall reliability score. The reliability scoring, which is provided for the overall products – as well as individual scores and commentary for each area of analysis is used when physics-based quantitative predictions are not possible. The analysis is delivered both in PDF and HTML format. Depending on the types of analysis run and the data entered to create the analysis, reports can run between 20 and over 200 pages in length.
The semiconductor module is in compliance with SAE ARP 6338<ref>Process for Assessment and Mitigation of Early Wearout of Life-limited Microcircuits, http://standards.sae.org/arp6338/</ref> and is being considered as a replacement to traditional empirical reliability prediction methods (MIL-HDBK-217<ref>{{cite web|url =http://assist.daps.dla.mil/quicksearch/basic_profile.cfm?ident_number=53939|title =MIL-HDBK-217F.

The graphical interface allows users to examine results, make iterations, and pre-perform analyses as necessary. The software does not allow the user to make permanent changes to the electronic design. This activity takes place within the original EDA or [[CAD software]]. This limitation allows a broader range of users to engage with the software and evaluate design robustness and reliability. Sherlock is also compatible with [[Abaqus]], [[Ansys]], and [[Siemens NX]].
