DOC PROVENOUS‑002 STATUS LIVE REV 2026.08 VERTICAL PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT
Product Development Live Control

Every requirement, risk, and test —
one living map.

Provenous turns your regulated engineering process into a living system of record that stays accurate automatically. Ask what your Design History File looked like on the day of your last submission, and get a real answer — not a spreadsheet reconstruction.

The problem

Your traceability matrix is only ever as true as the last person who remembered to update it.

Engineering teams in regulated industries (medical devices, automotive, aerospace) spend 30–40% of their time manually proving traceability between requirements, design, code, tests, and risk controls. When a requirement changes, they manually trace downstream impacts — often missing critical links, leading to failed audits, delayed product launches, and millions in revenue loss.

Ask a regulated engineering team what their Design History File looked like on the day of their last submission. Most can't actually answer that — it's already been overwritten, and nobody kept the receipts.

What Provenous changes Every fact is an event, kept forever. Current state is derived, not remembered — which means the state on any past date is just as answerable as the state right now.
Capabilities

What's actually built in, not roadmapped.

Eight mechanisms that turn "we have a traceability tool" into "we can prove it, on any date, to anyone."

Identity

No AI ever decides who's who

Every requirement, hazard, and test resolves by its real source-system ID, deterministically. AI drafts relationships and language — never identity.

Audit trail

Hash-chained, tamper-evident

Every change is an immutable, cryptographically chained event. An operator with database access still can't rewrite history without breaking the chain.

Time-travel

Ask what was true, on any date

Tag a moment — "510(k) Preliminary Submission" — and revisit it forever. Computed live from real history, never a frozen export.

Impact

See the blast radius before you ship

Change one requirement and every downstream hazard, test, and commit is walked automatically — flagged before anyone has to ask.

Governance

AI proposes, a human signs

Suggested links, risk drafts, and change judgments sit visibly pending until confirmed — with a 21 CFR Part 11 electronic signature on the terminal decision.

Risk

Draft-quality FMEA, not a blank page

Requirements with no risk analysis yet get candidate ISO 14971 failure modes drafted for your risk engineer to review — never auto-filed.

Records

CAPA, non-conformance, complaints — connected

Quality records connect directly to your engineering data, aligned to 21 CFR 820 and ISO 13485 — not a separate system you reconcile by hand.

Export

SRS, SDD, DHF — generated, not assembled

Technical files render on demand, straight from current data, as PDF, Word, or Excel, from any as-of date or tagged milestone.

How it works

One trace, start to finish.

Commit

Every link in that chain is a fact your existing tools already produce — Jira, Jama, GitHub, Jenkins, Confluence. Provenous Core's connectors normalize each one automatically, so the chain updates itself instead of waiting for someone to notice it's out of date.

Built for regulated industries

Speaks the standards your auditor already speaks.

ISO 14971Risk management for medical devices — identifying, evaluating, and controlling hazards across the product lifecycle. IEC 62304Software lifecycle requirements for medical device software — planning, verification, and change control. 21 CFR Part 11FDA rules for electronic records and signatures — makes a digital signature legally equivalent to a handwritten one. 21 CFR 820FDA's Quality System Regulation for medical devices — design controls, CAPA, and manufacturing records. ISO 13485Quality management system requirements specific to medical device design, production, and servicing.

Live today: Life Sciences & MedTech design controls, risk management, and electronic records. The same Provenous Core is architected to extend to other regulated verticals — see all solutions — without re-platforming.

What's different

Not a nicer report. A different source of truth.

Traceability matrix rebuilt by hand before every audit.
Recomputed live from real history, every time you ask.
Test results get typed into a spreadsheet, sometimes.
CI/CD results land as versioned facts automatically.
AI suggestions and confirmed facts look the same.
Every AI suggestion stays visibly pending until a human signs it.
A correction silently overwrites the old value.
A correction splits history — nothing is ever erased.
eQMS lives in a separate system from engineering data.
CAPA, non-conformance, and complaints share the same system of record.
