An assessment is only as good as the inventory under it. Aurithm validates every file — provenance, tampering, reconciliation, migration-specific anomalies — and produces a confidence score before any analysis runs.
Verifies the inventory tool version against a maintained allowlist. Flags unknown versions, warns on builds with known concerns, blocks compromised builds.
Checks for formula cells in data ranges (indicates Excel editing), column-order deviations, missing expected tabs, version mismatches. Machine-generated exports have predictable structure — deviations are signals.
Reconciles main inventory tab against detail tabs. Every VM should appear consistently. Mismatches, orphan rows, or conflicting values reduce structural confidence.
CD/DVD media attached (blocks live migration), orphan snapshots, infrastructure VMs mixed with tenant workloads, value mismatches between tabs. These are migration hygiene issues, not data errors.
Aurithm's Trust Layer turns that class of risk into a first-class concern. Confidence is scored across four dimensions: Structural (reconciliation health), Anomaly (impact of detected issues), Temporal (export freshness), and Provenance (tool version trustworthiness). The composite is the minimum across dimensions — a pristine provenance tier cannot hide badly anomalous inventory. Below threshold, Aurithm enters diagnostic mode: all four scores visible, full anomaly ledger, reconciliation statistics, targeted recommendations. Downstream modules can still run (architects may want to see the numbers) but every output carries a 'computed against low-confidence inventory' banner.
Four-dimension confidence scoring runs silently on every upload. See exactly what your data is made of.
