The Claims-Arguments-Evidence (CAE) framework is a structured methodology for building safety and assurance cases, breaking complex goals into verified sub-claims supported by evidence and reasoning [2]. It relies on a hierarchy of claims, arguments justifying those claims, and evidence to ensure system dependability, often employing "defeaters" to strengthen the case against potential failures [2, 11].
