Product · How it works

Four phases. One traceable workspace.

TraceWorks meets a project at any phase — import existing documents, build the trace graph, govern changes, then deliver. Each phase reinforces the next so the project's record stays coherent from kickoff to handover.

01
Import or capture

Get your existing project material into the workspace

Upload requirement documents (.docx, .pdf, .xlsx) and let the ingest pipeline extract, chunk, and embed them for AI-assisted review. Or start clean: create requirements, specifications, and components directly in the UI.

  • Drag-and-drop file upload with format auto-detection
  • AI extraction proposes requirements; humans accept or reject each one
  • Manual entry for teams that prefer keyboard-first workflows
02
Connect the graph

Link artifacts so every record carries its dependencies

Requirements link to specifications. Specifications link to products and components. Components connect to tests, vendors, quotes, and submittals. Each link is typed — SATISFIES, MITIGATES, EVIDENCES — so coverage analysis means something.

  • Inline link picker on every record
  • Bulk link operations for moving baselines
  • Auto-suggested links from RAG retrieval over uploaded sources
03
Govern change

Approve baselines and review every change before it lands

Requirements move through DRAFT → IN_REVIEW → APPROVED. Once approved, any edit creates a new version and routes through a change request. AI suggestions are review-gated by default — nothing mutates without a human approval.

  • Version snapshots stored per requirement
  • Change-request approval thresholds configurable per organization
  • Immutable ActivityLog captures every state change
04
Deliver and verify

Execute against the plan; see coverage as you go

Tasks reference the artifacts they're delivering. Tests reference the requirements they verify. Submittals package customer-facing deliverables. The trace canvas and project Trace Score show what's covered and where the gaps are.

  • Verification matrix per requirement type and project
  • Submittal review cycles with sign-off records
  • Trace Score: weighted 0–100 with per-dimension breakdown

See it on your own project

The fastest way to evaluate TraceWorks is to import a single set of requirements and watch the graph fill in.
