## Current stance (from REF_01_REQ sec. 4)

| Area | Stance |
|------|--------|
| **Regulatory/standards** | For now no standard in mind; this version stays like that. Developed with highest standards in mind; will review once we reach a version that requires the MARS standard. |
| **Security & privacy** | Same as above—no specific requirements for this version; will review when MARS standard is required. |
| **Certifications/evidence** | Same—none for this version; will review when MARS standard is required. |

## Mars Standard alignment

- **Current version:** No MARS requirement; keep as is per REF_01_REQ.
- **Later (MARS version):** Compliance review at that time.
