Achieved in 9 months, low cost. But: Cannot handle continuous dynamics. \textbf{Control Theory:} Can verify continuous stability (Lyapunov, LQR, robust control). But: Cannot verify discrete transitions or mode switching. \textbf{THE GAP:} Hybrid system verification with formal guarantees spanning both continuous and discrete. \textbf{HARDENS Achievement:} Complete RTS verification (discrete only), TRL 3-4, no experimental validation. \textbf{We need to bridge this gap.} % (End of speaker notes) \end{frame}
