From strategy to proof
Connect every portfolio decision to evidence.
BoardWalk gives leaders one operating view for priorities, requirements, delivery signals and approvals. AI accelerates the work; named people retain the authority to accept what changes.
Traceability plane
One requirement. One visible route to proof.
- RequirementIntent and source recorded
- Code at the pinThe cited source resolves
- Test runOutcome and commit travel together
- Named acceptanceA person signs the claim
Stronger evidence adds a rung; it never erases the source beneath it.
A visible path from requirement to proof
Every requirement shows the strongest evidence currently attached to it. A source reference, resolved artifact, executed test and runtime observation remain distinct, so a reviewer can see exactly what supports the record.
- Recorded
- The requirement exists in the register and is ready to be linked to supporting material.
- Cited
- A source citation is attached and available for reconciliation.
- Artifact resolved
- The cited path resolves in the repository tree at the recorded pin.
- Route confirmed
- The citation resolves to an application route and remains distinguishable from a repository file.
- Test executed
- A test result was ingested and bound to the requirement. Passing and failing outcomes remain explicit; skipped tests do not create a binding.
- Runtime observed
- A runtime observation is tied directly to the requirement rather than to a general availability check.
Exceptions are classified, not hidden
Every exception keeps its source, resolution target and repository pin. Unresolved references stay visible until a person reviews and dispositions them.
- Resolved reference
- The citation was found in the pinned tree.
- Stale reference
- The citation points to a path that does not exist at this pin.
- Outside the system boundary
- The reference resolves, but not inside the system under reconciliation.
- Unsupported claim
- The register asserts something and cites nothing that could support it.
- Requirement without citation
- A requirement carries no citation at all, so no rung above the floor is reachable.
- Rollup disagreement
- A rollup and its source rows do not agree, so a person must review and disposition the difference.
The finding vocabulary is controlled. Adding a class requires a reviewed product and schema change; individual workspaces cannot redefine the meaning of a finding.
AI drafts. A named person decides.
AI can prepare a project plan or a status update, but each result enters an immutable proposal register before it can change the portfolio record.
Provider and spending boundary
Each organization supplies its supported AI provider and key. The key is stored in the platform vault, and every call is ledgered against a monthly ceiling before it runs.
Proposal before action
Generated plans and updates retain their inputs, output and usage record. A person can accept or reject the proposal with a recorded reason.
Session-bound acceptance
The accepting identity comes from the authenticated session, not from the AI output or a browser parameter. Machine credentials can propose but cannot occupy a human acceptance field.
Append-only decision trail
Proposal decisions and other governance actions are appended to the trail. Data-layer controls block deletion, and release tests exercise that boundary directly.
Workspace flexibility, consistent governance
Each organization can reflect its identity and record its own portfolio alternatives while shared control definitions remain consistent across the product.
What a tenant may configure
The name, the wordmark and the accent. An accent that does not parse is dropped rather than rendered, and a wordmark URL that is not plain HTTP(S) is not rendered.
Recorded scenarios preserve their assumptions
A named person can author a scenario with project stances, funding references and notes. Comparisons show funding, capacity, benefits and dependencies with the basis and denominator for each figure; the product does not select a preferred scenario.
Shared control definitions
The binding ladder and its order. The six finding classes. The status palette, which is validated for contrast and for color vision. Who may accept a binding. These definitions are governed product controls rather than workspace-level labels.
Enterprise identity
Domain-routed SAML 2.0 supports Microsoft Entra ID and other standards-based identity providers after deployment and provider activation. Identity-provider claims authenticate the person; BoardWalk membership still determines workspace access and role.
Tenant isolation
Every domain row carries its organization and the boundary is enforced through database policies, not only through interface filters. The isolation mechanism applies on every plan.
How it fits your stack
BoardWalk connects governance and evidence across existing delivery systems instead of replacing every specialist tool.
Works above task trackers
Jira and Azure DevOps manage sprints, assignments and work progress. BoardWalk connects that execution to portfolio requirements, evidence, decisions and reporting.
Supports delivery assurance
The product helps delivery leads decide whether requirements are supported by evidence. It does not issue regulatory certification or replace an independent compliance assessment.
Consumes operational signals
Monitoring and observability platforms record runtime events. BoardWalk can preserve those observations as evidence while keeping detection distinct from an enforced gate.
Uses the requirements you already have
Import an existing register or specification and reconcile its citations against a pinned commit. Teams do not need to rewrite requirements in a BoardWalk-specific format.
