AI Trace Agent

Keeps a live trace graph and flags everything a change touches.
Requirements, evidence, tests and signatures become linked records. Change one requirement and the Trace Agent shows every test, document and signature it affects.

Without vs. with

Trace work, before and after.

Without Qualitum

  • The trace matrix is a spreadsheet, rebuilt by hand.
  • Correct the day it is signed, wrong the day after.
  • Nobody knows what a requirement change affects.
  • Orphan tests and untested requirements hide in the matrix.
  • Audit prep means rebuilding the trace.

With the Trace Agent

  • The trace is a live graph, not a file.
  • Always current, because every change updates it.
  • Change impact shown in seconds.
  • Orphans and untested items flagged automatically.
  • Audit-ready trace exportable any day.
Definition

What an AI trace agent actually does

An AI trace agent maintains the links between requirements, evidence, tests and approvals as a live graph instead of a static matrix. When anything changes, it shows every item the change affects.

Qualitum’s Trace Agent builds the graph from the work of the other agents. It flags orphan tests, untested requirements and signatures that need re-approval, and exports a requirement traceability matrix in your format when you need one.

How it works

Three steps. A person signs at the end.

Step 01

Build the graph

Every requirement, evidence link, test and signature becomes a linked record.

Step 02

Watch for change

A new spec revision, test result or document version updates the graph.

Step 03

Show the impact

You see every affected item, and who needs to re-approve.

Capabilities

What it does, in detail.

01

Live graph

Requirements, evidence, tests and signatures as linked records.

02

Change impact

Every item a change touches, shown in seconds.

03

Orphan detection

Tests without requirements and requirements without tests.

04

RTM export

A traceability matrix in your format, any day.

05

Version history

Every state of the trace, replayable for the auditor.

06

Signature awareness

Shows which approvals a change invalidates.

Outputs

What you get.

Every output links back to its sources and waits for a person to sign.

The agents it hands off to.

Every agent reads the same Consensus OS knowledge graph, so work moves between them without re-reading.

FAQ

Trace Agent: short answers.

Do we still get a traceability matrix?

Yes. The RTM is exported from the graph in your format whenever you need it, and it is always current.

What triggers an update?

A new requirement revision, a new evidence version, a test result or a signature. The graph updates and flags what changed.

Does it re-approve anything?

No. It shows which approvals a change affects. A person re-approves.

Can we import our existing trace matrix?

Yes. Your current matrix is read and every link checked before it enters the graph.

Does the agent approve or sign anything?

No. It prepares and checks. A qualified person on your side reviews, approves and signs every regulated output. Your AI CQO prepares. Your qualified person signs.

Where does our data go?

Nowhere outside your perimeter. Qualitum runs single-tenant inside your cloud or on-prem, with EU, US or UAE residency and air-gap capability. No training on your data, no retention.

Which AI model does it use?

The one you choose. Consensus OS sits on top of any frontier or open model, and the Verifier Agent checks results across several models.
