I've always been impressed by the finding that some Ada code certified
to DO-178B had only one tenth the residual error rate of some C code
also certified to DO-178B.  Maybe the Praxis folk can help you
document that finding.  In addition, you should peruse all their
online publications.

Here's the reference to the one-tenth residual error figure:
