What Tracewright does

Tracewright is a design-controls and traceability tool for regulated engineering teams. It takes what your team already produces (design reviews, client meetings, specifications, emails) and turns it into governed records: requirements, decisions, actions, questions, gaps, hazards, design elements and verification protocols. Every record cites the exact statements it came from, goes through a named review, is signed, traced and released.

#The rule

Agents draft. People decide. Nothing an AI agent writes is approved, published, closed or accepted until a named person with the right project role records that decision. Tracewright also works fully without AI: you can write every record yourself.

#How it works

1. 1Add a sourcemeeting, recording, document or email
2. 2Drafts appeareach citing its source statements
3. 3ReviewSMEs check every citation and fix wording
4. 4Approve and signnamed approvers, electronic signature
5. 5Tracerequirement, design, verification, result
6. 6Baseline and publishfrozen, signed, sent to your tools

#Who uses it

• Engineers and authors add sources, check drafts and write records.
• Subject-matter experts review drafts before formal approval.
• Approvers sign records with an electronic signature.
• Document control releases baselines and publishes them.
• Leads and governance run projects, set review rules and control AI use.

#Built for regulated domains

Projects use a domain profile that sets the words, record kinds, risk method and trace rules for the industry: medical devices, automotive, aerospace, defence, industrial machinery, rail, energy and process, consumer electronics, general product development, or your organisation's own profile. About 70 standards are in the library.
