+# MAA Compliance Mapping (High-Level)
+
+MAA is designed to align with the following standards where applicable. This document is a high-level mapping only; full compliance requires organization-specific controls and audits.
+
+## Standards ↔ MAA Alignment

+| Standard / Requirement | MAA Alignment |
+|------------------------|---------------|
+| **ASME Y14** | Dimensioning, tolerancing, and datum practices can be enforced via gap detection (undefined datums, implicit tolerances) and intent/geometry lineage. |
+| **ISO 9001 / 13485** | Traceability (decision lineage, MPC), versioning, and audit export support quality management and medical device traceability. |
+| **MIL-STD-810** | Environmental bounding and load cases in Intent Engine; physics/simulation authority can reference environmental proof. |
+| **DoD Digital Thread** | MPC and DLT lineage provide a digital thread from requirement to toolpath; immutable, versioned artifacts support audit. |
+
+MAA does not replace formal certification; it provides technical controls (no manufacture without MPC, gap halt, lineage) that support compliance efforts.
