Background Information:

Anomaly (plural anomalies): From Latin anomalia, from Ancient Greek ἀνωμαλία (anōmalía, “irregularity, anomaly”), from ἀνώμαλος (anṓmalos, “irregular, uneven”), negating the meaning of ὁμαλός (homalós, “even”), from ὁμός (homós, “same”).

Observation (plural observations): From Latin observationem (nominative observatio), “a watching over, observance, investigation.” Noun of action from past-participle stem of observare, “watch over, note, heed, look to, attend to, guard, regard, comply with.”

Quality Assurance (plural quality assurances): From early civilizations’ rudimentary quality checks to modern approaches like TQM, ISO standards, and contemporary methodologies, quality management has undergone remarkable transformations. At NORN, our priority is to ensure that our disruptive technologies are sufficiently tested before we present them to our partners in the civil and military sectors.
