# Downstream Integration Guide — MICROBOTICA

> **Status**: Skeleton — full content in Phase 3.

## Four-Layer Dependency Chain

```
MADDENING (Layer 1, LGPL-3.0)

MIME (Layer 2, LGPL-3.0)

MICROBOTICA (Layer 3, AGPL-3.0)  ← this project

Commercial Product (Layer 4, proprietary)
```

## Commercial Responsibility Statement

The commercial product manufacturer (Layer 4) bears all EU MDR
obligations. MICROBOTICA provides documentation artifacts to support
the manufacturer's regulatory submissions, but does not itself make
any clinical claims or bear regulatory obligations.

## SOUP Assessment Support

MICROBOTICA provides the following artifacts to support downstream
SOUP assessment under IEC 62304:

- `docs/validation/known_anomalies.yaml` — complete anomaly registry
- `docs/validation/soup_package.md` — SOUP package document
- `CHANGELOG.md` — version history with verification status
- `CITATION.cff` — version identification

## Full Content (Phase 3)

The complete downstream integration guide, including:

- Detailed SOUP assessment procedure
- Risk management integration guidance
- Verification evidence mapping
- Configuration management requirements

will be developed in Phase 3 when commercial integration becomes relevant.
