GxP Copilot · One requirement, one story

From ticket to signed PQ report — one traceable thread.

Requirements carry their functional risk assessment and connect end-to-end to design, test cases, executions and evidence. Requirements can be imported from your existing ticket tools so your engineering and validation teams are looking at the same source of truth.

Human reviewBefore anything is approved

In short

Requirement mapping turns a source document into a numbered, testable requirement set. GxP Copilot drafts requirements grounded in quoted text from your BRD or vendor specification, checks each one for the qualities that make it testable, removes duplicates against the existing register, and anchors every downstream test and result to it.

The problem

Requirements that cannot be tested

A requirement that says the system shall be user-friendly cannot be verified, so the test written against it verifies something else, and the traceability matrix records a link that does not mean anything.

Requirements bundling several obligations into one sentence cause the same problem differently: the test passes because two of the three conditions held, and nobody notices which one did not.

These are cheap to fix at drafting and expensive to fix at execution, which is when they are usually found — by a tester who cannot work out what they are supposed to be proving.

How GxP Copilot handles it

Grounded in the source, with the source visible

Requirements are drafted from the document you provided, and the text each one came from is identifiable. A reviewer can check a requirement against its basis rather than deciding whether it sounds plausible.

Where the source does not support a requirement, that is surfaced rather than filled in. An invented requirement is worse than a missing one because it will be tested, passed, and will prove something nobody asked for.

Step 1 of 6: RequirementsWhat GxP Copilot produces

A requirement register with an ID for every requirement.

What your team decides

Your validation lead confirms the requirements and which ones are GxP-relevant.

Requirements: A requirement register with an ID for every requirement. Your validation lead confirms the requirements and which ones are GxP-relevant.Risk assessment: The system category from explainable rules, and a risk rating for each requirement from severity and probability, adjusted for detectability. QA reviews and can change any rating; the reason is recorded.Test design: Test cases sized to risk: scripted with an independent witness for high risk, scripted or hybrid for medium, unscripted with supplier evidence for low. The test owner reviews and approves before anything runs.Traceability: A traceability matrix built from the records themselves, so coverage gaps and orphan tests show as soon as something changes. Anyone can check coverage at any time; no spreadsheet to keep up to date.Deviations and changes: Deviations raised from failed steps and change controls that show which documents a change affects. Owners assess impact and close each item with a recorded decision.Summary and release: The validation summary report, assembled from the signed deliverables and the test results. Approvers sign with Part 11 electronic signatures, re-authenticating at the moment of signing.

Gaps show as they appearNot when the auditor asks

A live traceability matrix: every requirement linked to its risk, its test and the result. A requirement with no test shows as a gap straight away, not at the audit.

Checked for testability before it reaches a protocol

Each requirement is checked against the qualities that make it verifiable — singular rather than compound, measurable where it makes a claim about quantity, expressed so that a failure is possible. Units, intervals and limits are read as the constraints they are rather than as prose.

Duplicates are caught against the existing register, which matters on a system where several source documents overlap and the same obligation arrives three times in different words.

The anchor for everything downstream

Approving the URS approves the requirement set. From that point every test case, result, deviation and coverage verdict ties back to a numbered requirement, and a change to a requirement propagates rather than leaving the downstream artefacts pointing at a version that no longer exists.

Where do the requirements come from?

From the source document you supply — a BRD, a URS, a vendor specification. Each drafted requirement is grounded in identifiable text from that source, so a reviewer can check it against its basis. Where the source does not support a requirement, that is surfaced rather than quietly filled in.

What makes a requirement testable?

It states one obligation rather than several, it is measurable where it makes a quantitative claim, and it is expressed so that a failure is possible. 'The system shall be user-friendly' fails all three. The platform checks these qualities at drafting, when they are cheap to fix, rather than at execution, when they are not.

What happens when a requirement changes after approval?

The change propagates. Risk scoring, test coverage and the traceability matrix are re-derived, and any coverage gap the change opened becomes visible immediately. The usual alternative — downstream artefacts still referencing a requirement version that no longer exists — is how matrices quietly stop being true.

AI Classification Engine

A guided intake — accelerated by AI, decided by your team — produces GxP impact, GAMP category and composite risk, along with the exact reasoning behind each result. Instead of week-long assessments, you get a classification you can defend to an inspector on the same day. The AI accelerates the input; the classification itself is transparent and controlled.

Learn more about AI Classification Engine Risk-Based Validation Scoping

The Strategy Engine picks the applicable deliverable set for each GAMP category and scales test rigor to per-requirement risk under CSA — choosing between scripted testing, unscripted verification, and leveraged supplier evidence. The output is a validation plan sized to reality, easy to defend, and quick to execute.

Learn more about Risk-Based Validation Scoping AI Risk Assessment

Every requirement is scored against an ICH Q9 lens for severity, probability and detectability. That score drives the test strategy, the traceability coverage and the inspection-readiness view — so risk stops being a compliance formality and starts sizing your actual work.

Learn more about AI Risk Assessment Document Control & Versioning

Every document version is fingerprinted and tagged with its provenance and any AI assistance used. Data-driven sections stay canonical across every deliverable — so what you sign is what you keep, and what you keep is what you show an auditor.

Learn more about Document Control & Versioning AI Validation Document Drafting

The Documentation Engine drafts your validation deliverables in the style of the templates your organisation already uses — with confidence checks, review gates, and a fully functional fallback when the AI is unavailable. Your team stays in control; the platform removes the drudge work.

The Live RTM is always up to date — coverage gaps, orphan tests and inspection-readiness are computed on the fly from the links between requirements, design, tests and results. No more spreadsheet upkeep, no more RTM-freshness debates before an audit.
