QVscribe can help your team capture a project’s intent in a clear, consistent, and compliant manner.
The High Cost of Poor Requirements
Three decades of research identified that 70-80% of project defects could be avoided if fixed during the requirements stage. As those requirements continue throughout the development stages, the relative severity at different stages substantially increases.
Sample requirement sets collected from multiple industries average 34 High-Risk requirements per each set of 184 requirements. A requirement that scores as a 1 out of 5 using QVscribe contains at least one Critical Problem or multiple Major Problems and is considered High-Risk. Below we break down the time and cost overruns when 34 High-Risk requirements persist through each stage of the most common development stages.
Time is used as the multiplier to create a per-person-day salary cost. The salary estimate is an average across roles within a given project, with an 8-hour working day assumed.

The Benefits of QVscribe
Discover all the advantages of automating your written requirements.
Write Great Requirements
There are common characteristics in every guideline and ruleset for requirement writing. An accurate requirement is unitary, complete, verifiable, unambiguous, and consistent with other requirements in the set. QVscribe leverages these common principles to establish a direct and repeatable requirement writing process so you, your team, and your stakeholders can rest assured that everyone is aligned on the desired project outcomes.
Reduce Errors
Using Natural Language Processing to provide clear feedback just-in-time, QVscribe removes the complexity of writing requirements. It ensures requirements are stating something that is required, is a single thought, and does not contain vague language.
Save Time & Money
With well-written requirements, you’re much more likely to achieve your project’s time and budget goals. QVscribe proactively identifies potential issues and problems early on, preventing missed deadlines and cost overruns while decreasing drawn-out reviews and expensive rework.
Increase Innovation
By automating the most tedious part of the writing and review process, QVscribe provides a platform to understand scope easily and quickly, which encourages engineers to innovate since they know there’s reduced risk of introducing errors in the later stages of development.
When working with clear, concise requirements, energy is spent on creative ways to meet specific needs. This helps elevate conversations and project agility so you and your team can focus on what matters most: capturing the intent.
Improve Efficiency
The pace of innovation is only increasing. That’s why tools to mitigate project risk are essential to keep up in increasingly competitive industries. With QVscribe, your team can be confident that they are writing clear, high-quality requirements which will result in projects being executed more efficiently.

Optimize Your Requirements Process
QVscribe integrates with the requirements management platforms your team’s already using.
See what our customers say
“Erroneous requirements contribute to 70 percent of errors found during a system development project in the aerospace industry today. Correct requirements are the need of the hour. QVscribe is an automated way of analyzing requirements for correctness. The quality metrics based on a user-defined library of words brings an early detection of errors which can improve quality upfront. QVscribe has an easy to use interface and automation that makes it a very handy tool for the engineer.”
– Yogananda Jeppu, Principal Systems Engineer, Honeywell Technology Solutions
“When developing new products, engineers all share common frustrations when writing requirements. Since our early schooling, we are asked to be creative in our writing. Engineering, on the other hand, requires us to be precise, concise, and unambiguous. It is a time-consuming exercise. QVscribe shows a requirements document’s weaknesses, so they can be quickly corrected. It’s a simple tool for a complex problem that I think has the potential to be very helpful throughout the requirement engineering process.”
– Claude Lemelin, Defense Engineer Consultant
“We drive our teams to write clear requirement statements because we know from experience that poor requirements lead to poor project execution. The understanding that requirements need to be well written is really taking hold across the company. QVscribe makes that happen and the software is very easy to use. My project managers use QVscribe during requirements development for the entire project, not just for product controls and software development. The project managers drive towards an overall QVscribe score of 5 (highest score) to ensure the requirements are well written leading to higher probability of project success.”
