Know what to build before you build it.

ALIGN interviews the people who have the problem, reads what they already have, reconciles what they say against their documents, and compiles a build-ready spec. Every requirement carries its source.

Phased interview engine · schema-validated extraction · provenance on every claim · contradiction detection · spec compiler → context.md, PRD.md, SOW

The cost of building software collapsed. The cost of knowing what to build did not. ALIGN works on the second problem.

01 — How it works

One engine. Interview, reconcile, compile.

Interview

Voice or chat, one question at a time.

It asks about the last time something happened. It never proposes a solution.

Reconcile

Statements checked against documents.

Where a document disagrees with what was said, ALIGN records the contradiction and the question that resolves it.

Compile

Every requirement traced to its source.

A transcript turn or a document page. Inferences are labelled as inferences.

02 — What you get

A spec pack a developer or a coding agent can start from.

  • context.mdPurpose, roles, current systems, workflows as they are, constraints, non-goals.
  • PRD.mdRequirements grouped by workflow, each with source and confidence.
  • acceptance_criteria.mdTestable, per requirement.
  • open_questions.mdOwner, why it matters, blocking or not.
  • sow_draft.mdScope, exclusions, assumptions, milestones, change control.
  • map.jsonThe context map, machine-readable.

03 — Two modes

Same engine, two sides of the table.

SCOPE service provider ↔ client

For teams that quote fixed-price work in someone else’s domain.

  1. Create the engagement. Domain, known constraints, what you can build.
  2. Your client is interviewed. Voice-led, from a blank slate, with uploads. 25–40 minutes.
  3. Approve the follow-ups. A seller-side feasibility agent drafts them; nothing is asked without your approval.
  4. Spec pack and SOW draft. Both sides sign off.

Priced per project

BRIEF product manager ↔ dev team

For teams briefing developers, or a coding agent.

  1. Drop in what exists. PRD drafts, tickets, screenshots, repo.
  2. Ingest builds a draft map. Checked against a build-readiness list; every unfilled or contradicted item becomes a gap.
  3. Gap-only interview. Voice or chat. 10–15 minutes.
  4. Spec pack, context.md first. Ready for a harness.

Priced per seat
