Quality analysis

Configure the rules that score the quality of your requirements and other records.

Quality analysis configures how the platform scores the quality of your records — the rules behind the quality signals described in Quality scoring. It’s where you decide what “well-written” means for your organization and have the system enforce it.

The value of configuring quality rules centrally is that it turns “good writing” from a matter of individual reviewer taste into an objective, consistent standard. Two reviewers will disagree about whether a requirement is clear enough; a configured rule set applies the same criteria to every record automatically, so the quality signal means the same thing across authors and projects. Encoding your house style as custom rules is how you make your organization’s actual standards enforceable rather than aspirational — the system checks for them every time, not just when a diligent reviewer happens to notice.

Enabling quality scoring

You turn on quality scoring and choose which rule categories are active. Rules span concerns like language — clarity, ambiguity, weak wording — and are grouped by priority, so you can treat some issues as high-priority problems and others as gentle suggestions. Activating the right categories tunes scoring to what your process cares about.

Custom rules

Beyond the built-in checks, you can define custom rules of your own, with their own rule type and priority — encoding house style or domain-specific expectations the standard rules don’t cover. Where custom rules aren’t needed, they can be left disabled. This lets quality scoring reflect your organization’s actual writing standards rather than a generic notion of quality.

Consistent, objective quality

Because the rules are configured centrally and applied uniformly, every record is scored against the same standard — so quality is an objective, comparable signal rather than a matter of individual reviewer taste. This feeds the quality widgets on dashboards and the quality picture in compliance verification, giving you an organization-wide view of how sound your records are.
