Create a workspace. Explore sample data. Invite your team. Try for 30 days for free. 

Core Requirements Management Capabilities

Everything engineers need to manage requirements, verification, and traceability — in one workspace.

Capture & Share Engineering Requirements

Replace requirements scattered across notes, documents, and disconnected tools with a shared requirements workspace. Give all engineers and stakeholders access to current requirements so they can make confident design decisions and iterate faster.

Delegate Busywork to AI Agents

Hand off requirements formatting, review,  breakdown, and verification planning to AI agents, so you get structured requirements from day one without the overhead. Nothing changes without your approval.

Work With Requirements in Your ECAD Platform

Link requirements to your electronics project and view them directly alongside your schematics, PCB layouts, and BOM components. Know what's affected when something changes.

Plan & Track Verification and Testing

Define verification methods, create test cases and procedures, and capture evidence in the same tool.  Requirements stay connected to test or review that verified them, so coverage gaps are caught before they become mistakes.

From Scattered Specs to a Shared Mental Model

Requirements Portal replaces manual admin with a shared workspace that keeps your team aligned.

Old Way

Requirements live in scattered spreadsheets, notes, and disconnected tools. Teams lose alignment, tracking changes is manual and error-prone, and admin work eats into engineering time.

New Way

Requirements Portal gives your team a shared, connected workspace with built-in traceability and an Engineering Assistant that reduces busywork so you can focus on engineering.
