Requirements intelligence · In development

Everyone knows a piece.
Nobody sees the whole picture.

Cohervio investigates one business request — the people, systems and open questions behind it — and returns an evidence-linked specification plus the decisions still needed.

A proposed AI-assisted investigation workflow. Not a released product or live deployment.

Live investigationIllustrative concept · synthetic data

Illustrative value flow: fragmented inputs from E-commerce, Store operations, Supply chain and Finance converge into the Cohervio coherence engine, which produces an evidence-linked specification, approvals, a stakeholder map and a risk report. The number of open decisions falls from seven to three; people still make those decisions.

Months to build.
Minutes to discover it was wrong.

A project can be delivered exactly as requested and still fail the business. These are illustrative patterns, not claims about any company.

Illustrative

Diagram: the request “Give every location an accurate view of available inventory” fans out to five teams and systems that each define “available” differently. Store operations: on the shelf. E-commerce: can be reserved online. Supply chain and distribution centre: arrived at the distribution centre. Finance: after write-offs. Legacy stock system (Warenwirtschaft): updates nightly, unverified. Two open questions: Is reserved stock available? Can the legacy feed refresh every 15 minutes?

Give every location an accurate view of available inventory.

  • Store operationsavailable = on the shelf
  • E-commerceavailable = can be reserved online
  • Supply chain / DCavailable = arrived at the DC
  • Legacy stock systemupdates nightly — unverified
One word. Four teams. Four definitions — and a legacy feed nobody has verified.Many teams. Different definitions of the same word.

Timeline: Request, Design, Build, Launch, of equal length. Four problems, numbered 1 to 4, typically surface at Launch: 1 built the wrong thing, 2 hit the legacy wall, 3 users left behind, 4 shipped as an island. An investigation aims to surface the same four, with the same numbering 1 to 4 pairing late and early, at the Request phase instead.

Illustrative pattern, not a measured dataset

The failure didn't start in development. It started before anyone wrote a line of code.

How it works: six steps from request to specification

Choose a scenario, then step through how an AI-led investigation could uncover stakeholders, hidden requirements, system constraints, and unanswered questions—before producing a specification.

Investigation journey

Step 01 / Understand the objective

Understand the objective

Start with the business outcome—not a premature feature list. Define what success means and what is still assumed.

Business request

“Give every location an accurate view of available inventory.”

What outcome would prove this initiative succeeded? Which existing processes should change—and which must not?

Initial gaps

  • Does “available” exclude reserved and damaged stock?
  • Can the legacy stock API support the requested update frequency?

Step 01: Understand the objective

All scenarios, documents, conversations, findings, and outputs are fictional and predetermined. They illustrate the proposed Cohervio workflow; no AI investigation or enterprise integration is running in this page.

Not a rigid waterfall. When specifying reveals a missing assumption, the investigation loops back to the right stakeholder. Human decisions remain explicit.

A specification built from evidence. Not guesswork.

A traceable record of what stakeholders said, what existing systems can support, and what is still open. Implementation teams get a clearer starting point, without false certainty.

Founding Design Partnership · Paid

Help shape the product.
Test it on a real challenge.

We're seeking a founding enterprise partner for a tightly scoped requirements investigation and working-prototype evaluation—not a promise of a production-ready rollout.

  • 12-week target · one initiative · two participating teams
  • Up to approximately 20 stakeholders, agreed interviews and approved source documents
  • Objective mapping, stakeholder discovery, guided interviews, gap/dependency investigation, evidence-linked draft specification
  • Milestone acceptance agreed before kickoff; future subscription optional
What you keep at week 12
  • The evidence-linked specification
  • The stakeholder and constraint map
  • A prototype acceptance decision that is yours

Works from the interviews and source documents you approve. Interviews are voluntary; we coordinate with your works council where required.

Proposed enterprise pricing

Built for complex organizations.
Scoped to the work you actually do.

Proposed subscriptions are billed annually; prices are shown per month. A smaller pilot can start in a large organization. Expansion follows licensed requirements domains, authoring capacity, and AI usage—not the company's total headcount. Proposed and unvalidated — the software is not yet commercially available.

Business

€7,500 / month

For coordinated discovery across a focused set of business domains.

  • 3 active requirements domains included
  • 15 requirements editors included
  • Interview participants & reviewers free
  • Scoped AI usage and standard integrations
  • Paid expansion as adoption grows
Billed annually · €90,000 / year
Strategic

€50,000+ / month

For broad, high-complexity deployments and specialized architecture.

  • Requirements domains scoped together
  • Editor and AI capacity negotiated
  • Interview participants & reviewers free
  • Custom legacy / private deployment options
  • Enterprise service and implementation scope
Billed annually · from €600,000 / year

What counts as a domain? A licensed active requirements domain is a defined business/workflow area with an owner and distinct requirements processes—not a self-declared “team” or every interview participant. Domain boundaries and included editors/AI usage would be specified in an agreement. Extra domains and capacity are paid expansions, so organizations of any overall size can start with a narrow deployment. These are proposed, unvalidated future price points and capabilities; Cohervio software is not yet commercially available. No current certifications, integrations, or security capabilities are implied.

Want to test the approach before a full deployment?

The founding engagement above is a separate, smaller scope. If you convert, its full fee is credited toward your first annual license.

The question isn't just “Can we build it?”
It's “Do we understand what to build?”

Bring one cross-department initiative with unclear requirements or difficult system dependencies. Let's discuss whether it fits the founding engagement.
