Safecertain
Safecertain is a term used in safety engineering and decision theory to describe a state, property, or criterion in which safety is established with formal guarantees under specified assumptions. The term blends safe and certain to signal that verification or rigorous analysis supports a conclusion of safety within a clearly defined scope.
In practice, safecertain implies that a system's safety properties have been proven or bounded through formal
