How It Works

From idea to shipped requirement

BaselineDocs and BaselineReqs are designed to work in sequence — knowledge flows into structure, and structure keeps teams aligned.

01 — CAPTURE

Write it down in BaselineDocs

Capture context, decisions, and background knowledge before it evaporates. BaselineDocs gives your team a structured home for product briefs, user research, meeting notes, and process guides.

02 — STRUCTURE

Define requirements in BaselineReqs

Turn knowledge and decisions into traceable, structured requirements. BaselineReqs adds the discipline layer — priority, ownership, constraints, and linkage back to your docs.

03 — TRACE

Maintain traceability end-to-end

When requirements change, know exactly what's affected. Link requirements to their source docs, track decisions, and keep a clear audit trail from business need to delivered feature.

04 — ALIGN

Keep the whole team on the same page

Product, design, engineering, and QA all work from the same source of truth. No more conflicting versions, lost context, or "what was the original requirement?" moments.
