A static Requirement Traceability Matrix is a spreadsheet that goes stale by lunch. A live RTM is always current. They are not the same tool.
What a static RTM misses
- Coverage gaps that opened yesterday.
- Orphan tests that no longer link to a requirement.
- Inspection-readiness verdict — is this actually good to go?
What a live RTM does
Live RTM in GxP Copilot is always up to date — requirement → design → test → result. Coverage-gap and orphan-test detection are computed on the fly; the inspection-readiness verdict is a click, not a meeting.
The operating consequences
Change control gets simpler — impact is a lookup. Audit walk-throughs get shorter — the evidence pack is one export. Periodic reviews get honest.
Where to go next
Explore GxP Copilot for AI-native validation, TraceDraft for source-traceable clinical documentation, or book a demo to see either on your own data.
