KeyStone Assure

KeyStone Assure

KeyStone Assure is Shapstone’s validation and traceability module within the KeyStone Grid Intelligence platform. Assure ensures that every insight produced by KeyStone modules is reproducible, explainable, and audit-ready — establishing trust in AI-driven fault intelligence across the enterprise.

Key capabilities

  • Model output validation. Validates AI model outputs against historical datasets, synthetic scenarios, and known fault signatures.
  • End-to-end decision traceability. Records the full lineage of every decision: inputs, model configuration, outputs, and operator actions.
  • Reproducible experiment runs. Ensures experiments are reproducible with pinned configurations, model versions, and data snapshots.
  • Explainable AI (XAI) summaries. Generates human-readable explanations of AI-driven insights for operators and regulators.
  • Continuous validation pipelines. Integrates validation checkpoints into production ML and operational pipelines.

How it works

Assure operates as a validation layer across the KeyStone platform. Every model run — whether in Locate, Forensics, Live, or Twin — is automatically profiled for accuracy, confidence, and consistency. Assure maintains a versioned record of model performance metrics, drift detection, and validation results. When a model’s output falls outside expected bounds, Assure flags the insight for human review before it reaches operators.

Value for utilities

Utilities using KeyStone Assure achieve:

  • Trust in AI-driven insights through transparent, validated outputs.
  • Audit-ready compliance with FERC, NERC, and internal governance standards.
  • Reduced risk of false positives through continuous validation and confidence scoring.
  • Reproducible incident investigations with full decision lineage from detection to resolution.

Assure complements Locate, Forensics, Live, and Twin by ensuring every module’s outputs meet the highest standards of accuracy and trustworthiness.
