Built the wrong thing
Three months of development. The business needed something else. The team built exactly what was asked, but the request never named the real problem.
Enterprise requirements intelligence · In developmentEveryone knows a piece.
Everyone knows a piece.
Nobody sees the whole picture.
Your next project spans departments, workflows, and systems that don't share a single understanding. Cohervio is being built to investigate what the organization actually needs—before engineering builds the wrong thing.
A proposed AI-assisted investigation workflow. Not a released product or live deployment.
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. A coherence metric rises from 43 percent to 91 percent.
Coherence: 91 percentBuilt forRetail · Logistics · Manufacturing · Insurance · Financial services
One business request.
A much bigger reality.
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.
Cohervio / Requirements investigationILLUSTRATIVE INITIATIVE / OPS-1042
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.
Months to build.
Minutes to discover it was wrong.
An initiative can be delivered exactly as requested and still fail the business. These are illustrative failure patterns that emerge when critical needs and constraints surface too late—not claims about any particular company.
Hit the legacy wall
A critical legacy-system limitation surfaces after the architecture is complete.
Users left behind
A department's essential workflow wasn't discovered until the launch was ready.
Shipped as an island
Each request looked reasonable alone. Nobody probed the system around it.
The failure didn't start in development. It started before anyone wrote a line of code.
From uncertain ambition
to a build-ready plan.
Cohervio is designed to investigate, not just summarize. Each answer can lead to a new question, a missing stakeholder, or a legacy dependency that needs validation.
- 01 / UNDERSTAND
Start with the real objective
Clarify business outcomes, existing workflows, constraints, and what's actually changing.
- 02 / DISCOVER
Find the missing voices
Map the departments, domain experts, documents, and systems that may hold essential knowledge.
- 03 / INTERVIEW
Ask better follow-ups
Use adaptive, AI-guided stakeholder conversations to uncover requirements beyond the first answer.
- 04 / INVESTIGATE
Challenge assumptions
Surface gaps, terminology conflicts, dependencies, edge cases, and integration feasibility questions.
- 05 / SPECIFY
Give engineering clarity
Turn gathered evidence into actionable requirements, workflows, constraints, acceptance criteria, and open questions.
- 06 / ALIGN & APPROVE
Close decisions when needed
Route unresolved choices to accountable people; support review and formal approvals where the organization requires them.
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, what decisions were reached, and what still needs investigation. Implementation teams get a clearer starting point, without false certainty.

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.

- 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

Founding terms, deliverables, data boundaries, timeline, acceptance criteria, cancellation and credit treatment require written agreement. The founding credit and 3-year rate lock apply to the first annual license signed and are set in the written agreement; other subscription terms are negotiated by scope, with no automatic conversion.
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.
