Evaluation Request

Request Evaluation

Submit a simulation system for structured review under the Simulation Fidelity Rating framework.

The SFR framework is intended to provide a consistent method for evaluating simulation systems based on structure, timing, motion accuracy, and training validity. This page is the entry point for requesting review of a system or environment.

Definition Architecture Measurement Classification Consequences Impact Evaluation Determination Request

Who This Is For


Race teams
Engineers and technical directors
Driver development programs
Research institutions
Medical or rehabilitation organizations
Training facilities
Buyers or operators evaluating system validity

Requests may be submitted for internal review, comparative analysis, or standards alignment.

What Evaluation Reviews


Evaluation is based on structure and measurable criteria, not on appearance or marketing language.

Request Type


Type 1

Preliminary Classification Review

A high-level structural review based on architecture, system type, and declared design approach.

Type 2

Formal Evaluation Request

A deeper evaluation pathway based on available technical details, motion characteristics, and measurement criteria.

Type 3

Research / Institutional Inquiry

For universities, medical programs, or laboratories seeking framework alignment or collaborative evaluation.

Type 4

Facility / Buyer Inquiry

For organizations evaluating whether a system is suitable for training, development, or public use.

Submit a Request


1
Submitter Information
Contact details for the person submitting this request.
2
System Type
Select the category that most accurately describes the system architecture.
3
Intended Use
Select all that apply.
4
System Description
Describe how the system is built, how motion is generated, and how it is used.
5
Motion Characteristics
Answer based on known system specification. Select Unknown if the information is not available.
Yes
No
Unknown
Independent degrees of freedom?Each axis driven by a separate actuator independent of the others
Center-of-mass reference?Motion origin calculated from the vehicle center of mass, not a mounting point
Motion driven by physics engine?Actuator commands derived from a real-time physics solver, not post-processed or animation-based
6
Supporting Files
Optional. Attach images, PDFs, or specification sheets that describe the system.
7
Goals of Evaluation
Describe what the submitter expects to understand, confirm, or obtain from this review.
Confirmation

What Happens After Submission


1

Submission Review

Request details are reviewed for completeness and relevance.

2

Preliminary Assessment

The system is reviewed against the framework structure and classification logic.

3

Follow-Up

Additional technical details may be requested if needed.

4

Evaluation Pathway

The request is routed toward preliminary classification, deeper review, or institutional discussion.

This process is intended to establish clarity and comparability, not to rely on marketing claims.

Important Clarifications


Standards Require Structure

Simulation systems should be evaluated by how they are built, how they behave, and what they train. The request process exists to apply that standard consistently.

If it is going to be trusted, it should be evaluated.
